Oh shit, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner broke up!
But I base my life on Taylor Swift’s songs, and if the most perfect girl in the world can’t even get it right, how am I ever going to make it?

Worst Dive Bar in the Bethlehem 2009
Lehigh Pub: As we profiled this year, any bar that is going to send you to fucking jail for not paying a mandated gratuity when the waitress is too busy outside smoking is going to not make many friends. In fact, I’m surprised the place is even still pulling in business. If not for the McGrady and Tally Ho run off on Bethlehem’s Fourth Street,...

Also, Allison is gambling in Vegas. Remember that one time? I miss Las Vegas.

My uncle is visiting us and bless his heart, I know my family is a handful and we’re probably not the best hosts in the world. But by God, if he snores any louder we’re going to get a noise complaint called in to the cops from the neighbors across the way. It sounds like a raccoon crawled up into his sinuses and is trying to claw its way out before it dies a slow and painful death in...
Boredom in 2009
I’ve seen a lot of those “bold what you did” posts and honestly, I’m bored. So instead of telling you what I did and did not do, I will tell you what I did that I think is of interest…to me. Or maybe you. But mostly me.
I dressed up as Margot Tenenbaum for Halloween. Joke was on me though, no one recognized who I was.
I was in a few plays at Lehigh. Mostly though, I...

“We’ve got a sort of brainwashing going on in our country. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that’s what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it - and have it repeated to us - over and over until nobody...

Let’s just cross our fingers, make wishes on eyelashes and 11:11, and pray that this is true.

“In his new book, Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value (and How to Take Advantage of It), author William Poundstone dissects the marketing tricks built into menus—for example, how something as simple as typography can drive you toward or away from that $39 steak.”
I’ll never read a menu the same again.
Well, now I know all the tricks I suppose. Guess I won’t be...
I don’t know why, but I just queued the shit out of Allison’s tumblr. I miss her old shenanigans. Would it be cheesy to say I just miss her? Okay, then I won’t.

So, I haven’t done a progress report in a while, and for good reason. Being home is killing my Biggest Loser challenge. Before you start sassing me and telling me to get my shit together, let me say that I have yet to break my workout habit, and I think we are closing in on the four week mark here. Haven’t skipped a single day of working out! However, I have broken my once-a-week...

“It’s almost like lovin, as sad as that is. It may not be cool, but it’s so where I live. It’s like I’m your lover, or more like your ghost. I spend the day wonderin what you do, where you go. I try and just kick it, but then what can I do? We’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.”

I thought it would be a quiet night.
I had planned on just seeing a few old friends tonight, but it turns out it was a big birthday night for a high school buddy we were all tight with back when. Went out and we all had nametags for the night. Mine read:
Hello, my name is: Penny Lane Sex: I think not Occupation: Dancing…sort of Status: Lookie, no touchy
You never know what kind of creeps and freaks you’ll run into when...

You know, I rarely reference my faith on here. I won’t elaborate too much on it because religion is touchy subject for many people, but I will say that I am a non-denominational Christian. That said, I attend a church here in Austin that is a place where I feel incredibly comfortable and at home. The worship services are fairly contemporary with traditional hymns every once in a blue moon,...
Well tonight was a hoot.
I received a text message from my dad tonight that said, “Gentys house for shots at 7:45. It’s a tradition…like slapping the bag. Be there.”
No matter what, as long as he is relating it to “slapping the bag” then he can count on me being there. As the college years are coming to a close for me, my parents have slowly dropped the mask of parental perfection...
