My mom just called me and asked me if I remembered trying to spend a summer counseling kids at a camp for orphans. Like, it was my summer plan to volunteer, not work, at a camp for orphans.
Honestly, I had pretty much no memory of this and only remember it vaguely now that she mentioned it.

hellogiggles.com is looking for interns
We’re looking for a few smart, creative, proactive-types who are excited to learn to join the HelloGiggles team.
Duties would mostly include HelloGiggles site maintenance and perhaps some light research and editing. Anyone willing to go the extra mile by contributing creatively to the site will receive extra consideration, although an unwillingness to do so will not particularly harm your...
I can’t go on Facebook anymore unless I’m posting links. I just saw some photos of someone’s wedding and audibly gagged like I was twelve years old again and one of my fellow campers was showing me a photo of her boyfriend from home.
Part of me knows I should just be happy for them and that I shouldn’t even be repeating this because it makes me sound so ugly, and part of...

– Jonathan Franzen’s op-ed in the NYT today is the best thing I’ve read since the last best thing I read.
Believe it or not (you probably don’t believe it), I couldn’t agree more.
Attended a discussion this evening where someone brought up that “illiteracy” in it’s most modern form is mainly defined by one’s inability to adapt.
I thought that was really interesting because it kind of shines a spotlight on the idea that we’ve reassigned the value we gave language to one’s ability to survive.
Made me fuckin’ think, y’all.

In this new post, Mr. Kate shows us how to grab what we already own and give it a fresh new look.
If you’re staying in town this weekend, this will be great for today’s Sunday brunch. This is also fun and resourceful when you don’t have time to run out and buy something new. Creativity is always a win!

Real friends are the ones that attempt to pull you out of anger and bitterness, not keep you in it so you can be uglier and sadder than them.
Seems like that would be obvious, but it also seems like it may not be.
Prince was incredible last night and I strongly encourage anyone in Los Angeles to take advantage of the fact that you can see a living legend live for only $25. The idea that anyone I know isn’t going to one of these shows is CRAZY to me. It was 3.5 hours of STRAIGHT HITS. “Purple Rain” has never been my jam, but I welled up. I did. I sat down for “Purple Rain” and...

TUE May 24: Molly McAleer
Molls is a true pioneer, but instead of hittin’ the Oregon Trail (though with her mad computer skills she probably won the game), she was one of the first to tame the wild tubes of Internet. She’s an actress, a writer and a World Wide Web mogul.

new pants
Wanted to make sure to remember to tell you that I bought Italian Hammer pants with stirrups for three dollars the other day and they’re so wrong that they’re right.
There’s at least a mile of room in the crotch, which doesn’t apply to my body but is a STRANGE SENSAYSH considering I’ve been wearing leggings and skinny jeans for the last three years. Actually, some...

By “it’s kind of peopleofwalmart”, she means “it’s white trash.” She’s being polite.

I cried myself to sleep over a boy named Nathan every single night of 8th grade because he looked like a Hanson brother and he didn’t like me back. His family was really Christian and one night I ruined their family dinner party with the church’s minister because I called him crying during the meal to ask him why he didn’t like me back (this was in the time of landlines,...

I think I have the flu and an infected tear duct or pink eye or some shit and my cousin just texted me the American Idol results from the east coast because she wasn’t using her damn brain and I called her a whore and now I’m going to bed, I think.
