ok total girl attack mode
I’m having trouble deciding on an ultra fantastic tokyo cool NYE outfit for tonight. My options:
1. Recently purchased 70’s long-sleeve sailor dress. Pro: it’s adorable and sailory. Plus it’s going to be chilly/rainy in Portland tonight, so it’ll keep me warm. Con: it’s long sleeve and polyester, meaning if I go dancing, I will sweat. and stink.
2. 60s...
just returned home from celebrating a friend’s birthday at the Horse Brass,. It made me realize how excited I am for the cigarette ban in Portland bars, which will ring in the new year bitterly for some, joyously for others.
All I know is tonight will be the last night* I come home and have to immediately change out of every single article of clothing saturated with smoke.
And even then, I...
Molly: I'm going to josh's birthday gathering tonight at horsebrass
Patrick: that should be fun
Molly: yea, except i don't think i'm going to drink. i've been drinking beer for the past 4 days, and i'm kind of sick of it
Patrick: time to switch to tequila then
Molly: OH GOD
my insides just lurched
Patrick: in passion?
Molly: in disgust
tequila and I are not friends. i can't remember the last time I drank it... which is part of the problem.
Patrick: then start a new romance...maybe w/whiskey this time
Molly: whiskey makes me fight
so do brass monkeys, oddly enough.
I’m seriously considering deleting my tumblr account.
It’s just, I don’t update it that often. I have these moments of inspiration, but end up losing the motivation to type it out on the computer. Plus, it makes me really sad when I lose followers. To the point where I just want to end it quick and painlessly, as oppose to a long, drawn out death.
It’s weird how...
going to beer theater (laurelhurst) to see choke with Becca and Miles. I think it’s one of those buffer situations (perhaps the opposite of a 3rd wheel) where I stand between the guy who still has feelings for the taken girl.
I’m well up to the task. I’ve done this before. It help me remember that I’m the single friend who is available at all hours for help in these...

Dad: yea, I got a colonoscopy and I didn't pay shit.
Gus: WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE????
This summer 2 of my best friends and I went on a road trip to Canada. We try to plan a road trip annually, with a few easy guidelines:
-cheap
-accommodating
-super fantastic Tokyo cool
So far, things have been working out. Our whole Canada trip consisted of sleeping on the couches of family and friends who fed us and at times gave us guided tours of fantastic cities, only asking for our...
I feel horrible today. And it’s snowing.
Hangovers and snow don’t mix.
Am I the Grinch?
some guy on the Max just asked me if I was a stripper.

Currently I am working on a complete redesign for my blog. Right now it looks like complete crap, but soon… SOON… it might look really awesome! Trust me people, I think I know what I’m doing!

I’m still...
The end of finals is near (I predict to finish at precisely 1:24 pm, incorporating the begining time [12:30 pm] times amount of questions [80] divided by the time it takes me to finish biology exams [hastily]).
So I’m going to be free in about more or less 3 hours. and all I can think about?
DANCING.
I haven’t been dancing in a long time, and I’m listening to...
just finished watching Prince Caspian…
…felt like I was in bible studies.
We lost.
To a team that had a “grunter”.
They were terrible.
We were worse.
The ball hit me in the head.
I pulled my groin.
Have to bike to class tomorrow and it’s going to suck.
Must go ice my junk now.
Lame.
you know what really grinds my gears??
holes that appear in your socks after the first time wearing them.
not a fan.
When I listen to the beginning of the MGMT song “Time to Pretend”, I picture a tiger purring.
Is that odd?
ok guys I’m a little nervous.
Our volleyball game is tonight, and we are down some players (curse you blazer home game!). Actually, only 6 people are showing up. (which is the amount we need to avoid forfeiting). This means, however, that we are all going to have to play the whole game.
This sort of happened last week, when we were down a player and another one arrived late. The girls had...
I’ve noticed a recent incease in posts regarding twin peaks.
and I love it.
keep it coming people.
beards.
I’ve done some soul searching, and have come to the conclusion that I really like beards (it doesn’t help that I am constantly surrounded by them in Portland).
But it doesn’t stop there.
I’ve also come to similar conclusions regarding redheads. I had a crush on this boy that I saw maybe 30 seconds out of my day at PSU (I think he either lives in building where I have...

How are people that supposedly have never had fast food before supposed to influence my choice in crappy burgers?
“Well, I’ve never seen one of these moving talking pictures before, but I guess I like that ‘John From Cincinnati” show.”
I agree! I’m deeply disturbed by this commercial gimmick (if it’s even remotely valid). Taking a group of indigenous people out of their...
this morning my mom knocks on my door to inform me she’s going to freddy’s to buy a new microwave (our old one crapped out on us last night apparently). when i woke up she had already returned with the new machine, and i looked it over and said “aw, why didn’t you get an energy efficient one?”.
she started crying.
Did i say something wrong? she told me we...

I listen to this song when I’m hungover. like today.
happy hangover sunday.
The dry weather has produced a tiny cut on the side of my mouth that is EXCRUCIATING. Every time I part my lips, this cut lets me know it’s still there. I’m tempted to keep a vow of silence for the next few days.
mom: (singing along to stevie wonder christmas album)
me: hey who sings this?
mom: stevie wonder.
me: yea lets keep it that way.
mom: i hate you.
It’s freezing in my house and I’m pmsing and all I want is a cookie but there are none.
Drunk Running

elisha:
Does anyone else do this? Drink too much and instead of stumbling home, run? My friend and I have done this for years, and it generates enough body heat to fend off the freezing Chicago temperatures. So far there have been no injuries, but we do get a lot of strange looks from non-drunkrunners. I don’t need a gym, just the icey sidewalks between the bar and my...
please take note of the fact that during all of this, my mom is blasting Andy Williams throughout the first floor of my house. Hopefully she will have her collection of nativity scenes all set up later on. I’m so excited to share with you the madness that is christmas at my house.
People in Portland OR right now:
Doesn’t this weather remind you of Winnie the Pooh?

thank you tumblr for preparing me for such...
Sister: now mike and I are watching a Christmas story.
Me: have you seen that kid all grown up? he's got beautiful eyes. he was a producer for Iron Man.
Sister: and an extra in Elf. he played...and elf.
Me: ha ha. great. he's bff's with Vince Vaughn. they were in an after school special together.
Sister: shut up.
Me: HA! I totally beat you!
Sister: at what?!
Me: precisely.
me: (standing up) Ah God I'm sore! I'm never running again.
dad: Thats what John McCain said.
me: AH hahaha good one pops.
Just had my last meeting with my university studies mentor session at PSU for this class (for university studies class, you have a main session with say, 30 students plus the professor and the mentor, then you have a mentor session with a grad student dubbed “the mentor”). It was kinda sad. Our group actually got along during the last few weeks. hmm. Oh well.
What was really funny...
So, I’m a little butt-hurt after our first loss in volleyball. We were down one player, plus rebecca showed up late, meaning the girls (my sister, kay, and I) had to play the whole game w/o rotation (you can’t have more than 3 guys on the court at a time). The first game was utter defeat, and even when becca showed up during the second game, our luck didn’t improve.
