    Life According to Mad Men

    • Cheating happens and everyone cheats; it’s a fact of life.
    • Smoking is perfectly fine for you, do it while you’re pregnant.
    • You kid has a plastic bag over her head? Make sure that the dry cleaning that was in it isn’t all over the floor!
    • Drinks? In the office? While you’re pregnant? Why not!
    • Seat belts not necessary, especially for the little ones.
    • Men and women working in an office together are all going to have sex with each other.
    • If you are a married woman, you belong at home with the kids.
    • If you are divorced, all the married women look at you funny/think you are a threat/think you are an embarrassment.

    And this is supposed to be a pretty accurate representation of the 1960s?  Makes for interesting TV, that’s for sure.

  • August 16, 01:25 PM

    ‘Cause I don’t want to wait until tomorrow
    To tell you how I feel the rest of my life
    You don’t want a waste another minute when you realize
    Walking on the dark side of the evening
    Maybe it was you who opened my eyes
    Burning like a fire on the water
    The city of black and white
    Won’t you just stay
    Won’t you just stay

    “When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.”

    Personality Set for Life By 1st Grade

    austinkleon:

    File under “Science telling us what folk wisdom has told us forever”:

    “We remain recognizably the same person,” said study author Christopher Nave, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. “This speaks to the importance of understanding personality because it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts.”

    …

    Personality is “a part of us, a part of our biology,” Nave said.

    I’ve written before:

    I’m much closer to the person I wanted to be when I was 10 than when I was 20. I think that’s a good thing.

    Further proving that people never change.

  • August 09, 10:56 PM

    So last weekend I was telling people, oh yeah, I’ve never crashed my bike yet *knocks on wood*. And everyone at the table was saying, You will some day!

    Well the day has come. I was finishing up a ride and was two blocks away from my apartment when it happened. James and I were sprinting through the light near GRB and going 20+ mph. Well, I guess my right foot clipped out because when I pushed down, there was nothing there and my bike got out from under me. Bike went left, my body went right and I my chin skidded across the asphalt. Nice, huh?

    I got up almost immediately because a car was coming. Then the pain hit and I sat down on the curb to cry it out, hahaha.

Its liquid graphite “ink” allows the user to erase at will for up to three days, after which any written material becomes permanent. Suck it, Mike Nesmith’s mom!

    The Sharpie Liquid Pencil hits stores in September, but you can purchase some right now for $5/pk via Office Depot.

    I seriously tried to buy this to feed my office supply need, but shipping is freaking $9.

    I rode to Frank’s pizza, joystix (for pacman fever, where it smelled like sweaty nerds in one corner), and just now to houston press music awards to see matt & kim. I rode my mixte in a mini skirt — this is my big accomplishment for the week.

    It’s been a sweaty weekend cuz it’s freaking hot outside.

    “

    People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

    A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

    A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life…

    Münchausen by Internet

    readmorewikipedia:

    Münchausen by Internet is a pattern of behavior in which Internet users seek attention by feigning illnesses in online venues such as chat rooms, message boards, and Internet Relay Chat (IRC).

    As manipulation is integral to most cases, the need to control others to feel as if the perpetrator is in control of his or her own life is apparent, as is the pre-existence of underlying personality disorders. Many people who present factitious disorders crave sympathy and support because it was notably absent in childhood.

    now would be a bad time to mention how sick and near-death I am, right? Juuust kidding =)

    “

    I never saw you again. You slammed the door as you came in. We yelled at each other about something that just shouldn’t fucking matter but for some reason, it does. It happened. We spoke softly. We were in bed. I told you

    “I love you.”

    You said the same. We went to movies and parties and friends and ate and drank and made love.

    It all ended with my eyes meeting yours for the first time and the sudden, extreme feeling of expectation.

    And now, how can I miss what has never existed.
