No Great Illusion: What 20-Somethings Want →
You want a job, a vacation, heath insurance, validation, a back rub, a scalp massage at the place where you get your haircut, people who are jealous of you, an ex who won’t stop texting you when they’re drunk, Twitter followers, happiness maybe sorta, someone to buy you lunch at a fancy…

New Years Dinner
Cheese Ravioli with sun dried tomato alfredo and pesto with my best friend & a giant glass of wine that I actually like. What more could a girl ask for.

Stuff I want to do this year. (Because I feel like...
1. Attend Momentum Dance Lab’s Intermediate/Advanced Modern Dance class every Monday night.
2. Find a church that even vaguely resembles what Jesus had in mind.
3. Grow as a floral designer & be able to run the flower shop alone by the end of the year. (I better do this one since it’s expected of me)
4. Work out 2 days a week (besides the dance class) & Establish healthy...
Guys, I need a new place to live really bad.
It’s seriously becoming an emotional issue for me. I guess I should just be trying to learn from the situation, but I’m just done at this point. So so done.
Oh you know,

Chelsea Fagan's Blog: I don’t want to say I love... →
faganchelsea:
I don’t want to say I love you. Well, I do. And I do all the time. But I feel like I’ve worn the words out in my mouth from saying them too much—like when you’re a little kid and you chew and chew and chew and chew and by the time you swallow your food is a mushy grey lump. I don’t want to do that…
This. Every day.
Weird Apples
Jack: Hi sweetie, what are you up to?
Me: Just hanging out at my family's house, how about you?
Jack: I'm looking at this weird apple in the refrigerator.
Me: weird apple?
Jack: Yeah, it has all these little red seeds in it.
Me: Hmmm...
Me: Oh you mean a pomegranate?
Jack: Oh, is that what those look like? huh.
Me: loling forever
Nevermind about that reverb thing. That is way too much self assessment for me right now.
I started to write my first post for reverb11
and then I realized I’m way too tired right now. I’ve worked 43 hours this week. 6 more tomorrow. Going to watch another episode of How I Met Your Mother and probably fall asleep.
ps. if you want to participate in reverb11 you can find the prompts here.
Tired.
So so tired.

I have been sick this week.
This is the first time I’ve been pretty legitimately sick since I moved out of my parent’s house and let me tell you it sucks ass. I’ve been sucking it up and going to work and I feel like shit and all I want is to lay on the couch and watch 30 rock and not have to worry about bills, or my job, or the fact that there is a giant pile of dishes in the sink.
Took the Myers Briggs personality test last night.
I learned I’m an INFJ. I also learned that only 1% of the population has this personality type so that might explain some things.
Jen, which of these do you think mom would like...

Things I am bad at that I wish I were good at:
- Cooking - Writing - Grammar - Meeting people - Being by myself
I know what a wise person would say to this. “Well, if you want to be better at those things why don’t you do something about it?” If you are a wise person who thought that when you read this post you should probably keep that to yourself. If you don’t, I will find you and punch you in the face.
Loving the spam in my inbox.
Apparently there are a lot of people on tumblr who are OBSESSED with me and left “body pix” on a site they can’t link to. I LOVE SPAM.

Things you might not think about.
It is incredibly awkward to try to hold one of those long stem cigarette holders. I will be googling pictures of Cruella Deville tonight to perfect the hand position. In other news I have an amazing flapper costume for halloween and Jack is being a gangster. We will be the best looking couple at the party fo sho. I’m sure there will be pictures on Sunday.
Antique Trunk
Yesterday at work we were rearranging the whole store & putting out all of our Christmas Merchandise to get ready for our holiday open house next weekend. We were changing out one of the window displays which happened to be filled with horribly gaudy UT merchandise. (Of course) Anyway, I lifted up this tray covered in a sea of orange and white fluff and underneath is this GORGEOUS antique...

Confessions.
I love Katy Perry. So damn much.
Here is how much: I had a dream a few weeks ago that my immediate family, an aunt and uncle, and my grandparents were all sitting around visiting and I announced that I had to leave and my sister said “Wait, before you leave…” (Cue Teenage Dream) Then everyone there except my parents and grandparents got up and proceeded to form a school dance...

Tales from Target
So tonight I went to Target and bought an article of clothing from the juniors section, the mens section, and the little girls section. I’m not sure if that means I’m a weirdo or some kind of shopping genius.

Tonight I am sad, so I’ve just been reading Caroline’s blog because when she is sad and lonely she lets you know it in a really gorgeous way. She also doesn’t try to cheer herself up which sometimes is healthy. Sometimes, you just have to be sad.
