The Frenemy.: Make It Worthwhile, Chump →
thefrenemy:
I could sit here and complain about how I’m single because oh, Christ, how I can get good at doing that.
There’s a couple of drunken nights I can recall in the long stretch of time I’ve been single or ‘unable to introduce a plus one at cocktail parties.’ Nights where I swig wine out of the…

The New(est) Cy.
Back around, erhm, 2007, or so, my alma mater unveiled a new logo that pretty much everyone hated but that was/is impossible to escape from. Recently (today? Yesterday? not sure) they *finally* unveiled a matching logo that utilizes Cy, our beloved mascot. (I mean, okay. Three years later!). I have a few thoughts on this. Naturally. 1.

– wing & a prayer: Prop-8: an opinion.

pranks + cookies
Let me preface with: I hate April Fool’s Day. I am a paranoid person anyway, and the fact that someone could easily be out to get me and make me look stupid is, in my opinion, not a worthy cause for a holiday.
Anyway. The day went along with nary a practical joke, but I was getting cranky at general incompetence in the world as a whole and decided it would be prudent to run across the...
