I was on the subway this morning and I had to stand above a group of guy and girl teens sitting on the bench, which is basically my worst nightmare. I knew they were talking about me because teens don’t yet know how to talk about people in their vicinity without being painfully obvious.

aldoushuxtable asked: How does a juice cleanse work? Aren't you hungry as hell? I'm really nervous to try one. Maybe it's a stereotype, but I don't want to have to spend the whole day Meeting the Browns, if you catch what I'm throwing.
I might have written about this already but my friend is on a flight from L.A. headed back to Chicago for our high school reunion (I’m going too e_________e) and this dude on the plane admired her shoes and told her she had “real cute feet.” Which reminded me of the time I was in a bar with two GFs and this man came up to me and whispered in my ear, “You have the most...

Nicole [after hearing you must come in at 3 hours or less in the Chicago Marathon to qualify for the Boston Marathon]: i didn’t know the boston marathon was that hardcore Ted: Yeah that’s the big one all serious runners run. I remember in grade school a girl in my class dad ran it and they prayed for him in church. I was like WTF until like 2 years ago when I found out. Nicole: they...

This leaves the ones about trannies, serial killers, and suicide.
So I covered a Paramore concert for work recently and I sat contently on the second floor of Terminal 5 and watched out on the floor below me as a bunch of 18 year olds pushed each other around to the sound of the music. And I was thinking, “I do not miss those days at all.” Fucking standing at shows with all these people pushing you? Fuuuuckkkk that. I hated it. I loved going to shows...
