I need some answers
Annie and I just went to the kitchen for coffee/hot chocolate. While stirring cream into our warm beverages, V came in. V (to my long cardigan): I loooove this! Me: Thanks! V: You two are such homegrown girls. Annie: Yep, that’s us! Me (to Annie in whisper): Does that mean she thinks we’re fat?
Sloppy Commuters
Decided to take a spur-of-the moment trip to Philly. I wish everyone could experience the scene at Penn Station on a Saturday/Sunday at 4am. It’s disgusting.

“You over eat every day and then tell us about it. I love that about you.”
– Momma during our first group gchat session with Lil.
My Mom and Grandma are in Lutsen right now. Tonight they’re going to the North House Folk School for the same event the family went to together back in 2005, when we all lived in Minnesota. Sniffs.
Debate tonight
Nora: i think tonight needs a theme. i dress up like sarah palin and you dress up like the little palin who licked her baby brother. i'll get you a baby just practice licking your hand.
Compliment? Sexual harassment?

Where are YOU looking for love?
A lot of great things happened this morning (woke up to Papa Bear cuddled up on the futon, it was a nice, chilly morning, a fat baby sat next to me on the train, the F train was cooperating), but this message from Amanda’s OKCupid mailbox has definitely made my day:
I wrote some silly jokes once, but my mood is quite sober now, which is good and not easy. The implication of goodness is good...
Healthy
Today instead of lunch, we’re having an ice cream social. Jealous?
Tools for stalking
I just got the following Facebook message from a dude I don’t know:
Subject: Forgive my random Facebook message…
Saw your quote on Timeout.com and enjoyed it. Well played Mary Clare, well played.
I wonder how many people are thinking the opposite. I want some Staten Islanders to send me hate mail.
Just passed
I realized I never documented my move. I never wrote Astoria a letter to tell her the ride was wild and fun, and I’ll never forget her. I never told my favorite memories of my apartment that I shared with Kayla for two years. That we moved in with four suitcases, plastic utensils, and two lawn chairs. That we had cockroaches the size of cell phones, anal landlords, a mouse, and a burglar....
“Uh oh. I’ve turned to smoking and drinking due to my boredom and...”
– Hannah J.
We just sat on the futon and ate an entire container of Greek yogurt and half a jar of honey. And now she’s convincing me to stay home from spinning and drink wine.
“I had a dream that Julia Allison blogged about you, except Julia Allison was Kim...”
– Text from Lil this morning.
WatchA few weekends ago, Tommy and I were on our way home from the East Village on the R train and sat across from two couples that were passed out cold. I thought they looked strange, like they were time travelers.
In 5 years
Kristine: someday we'll get to throw caution to the wind and make our minions run our calendars
me: i'll also make them get me lunch and brush my hair
Kristine: i will make them build me a private bathroom i will also make them be very smart and be able to send letters using proper grammar so they can just stamp my name
Open Mic
At Lucky Cat with the Ham Bone and Mols. There is a man dressed as a pirate on stage singing about being a rock star. Amazement.
Status
Open bar brings out the best in Nora and Fuzz. A girl just fell over and then took off her heels. John Basedow from Fitness Made Simple just joined the party.
Fashion Week
Nora and I went to the Jordache show tonight. Miss Jay sat across from us and shook his head at every model. He hated their form. Now standing in the SoHo Bloomingdales by Nigel (and beautiful, pregnant wifey), staring at a Madden Bro, eating mac n’ cheese bites and drinking wine. So many fake boobs right now. If you were here your mind would explode.
Foolery
Rumor has it they’re filming Rescue Me outside my building. However, the doors on the dressing rooms say otherwise. One door says Madonna, and one says A-Rod. Hmmm…
It's Online Dating!
My lovely coworker Amanda just got this message from a dude: I am Japanese and have been here for two years. I used to live in TOKYO. Do you like Japanese food? Have you been to Japan? The reason why I came here is attending university to study film production. My hobby is swimming. listening to the music and walking down the street.
I say, GO FOR IT! Anyone who includes “walking down the...
“I’m calling because I figured you would know what gelato is…”
– Voicemail from Claire.
