Sitting downstairs watching a movie, you squirm as the actors on-screen begin to kiss. It’s awkward…what are you supposed to do with the boyfriend you’ve never kissed while watching two people make out? Especially when he is the kind of boyfriend you think you may be in love with, the kind who plays guitar and has military short hair, and makes you cool with all the kids at the local...

...a bite of the ridiculousness that is my brain.
After forgetting my iTunes password for the eighty billionth time, I logged my information in to answer my secret question, only to be given the following:
‘What do weasels live in?’
I couldn’t make that up if I tried, Tumblettes. I have no recollection of choosing that as my go-to “I’ll-never-forget-the-answer” question, but do have a vague memory of friends...

Fact of the day:
When I was born, my Dad played Stevie Wonder’s ‘Isn’t She Lovely’.
Best Dad ever? Yeah, pretty much.

“To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch … to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to...

When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful.

I used to be a hell of a lot funnier on here.
…I almost feel like I should apologize.
I'm interviewing for a pretty incredible position...
Send happy thoughts, prayers, and/or crossed fingers in my general direction, mk?
…Well, don’t like…literally send me your crossed fingers. That’d just be weird.

No, you did not see me walking down the road under an umbrella to protect my ridiculously white skin from the sun’s harsh rays.
That was some other woman.

carolineislove:
if you are in a relationship and you are celebrating your “8 month anniversary”, then you are pissing me off. An anniversary is something that is annual. Something that happens after a year. Not. Fucking. Months.
Ugh, for the love of God.

Found in my Tumblr account from five years ago
A good kiss turns me on. But then, so does hand holding, a well-spoken word, doing chores together, a hand on my thigh while sitting together…and bowties. I’ve always wanted my initials carved next to another’s enclosed in a heart. You’re safe with me. If you pick me a flower, I’ll wear it in my hair. I’m a damn cute flirt. I’ll let you push me on the swings. I have really expressive eyes....

…which, you know, totally includes me.
I turn 25 today and the age seems somehow cooler than any other I’ve hit so far. Very milestone-ish.
The fact that it’s a quarter of a century only mildly freaks me out.

Fact of the day:
When I’m laughing really hard, I literally go - “He he he he he he he heee!”
Watch“Hey, I lose like half of my innocence without these curls…”

I've become the woman
who dons a flannel nightgown, puts rollers in her hair, and cold cream on her face before heading to bed.
…minus the nightgown and cold cream.
Seriously though, if you could just see the gigantic rollers perched happily on my head right now.
Train[wreck] of thought
I suppose it’s a bit hypocritical of me to be upset that my friends are leaving Alaska when I was the first to do so… I guess in my rainbows and sunshine mind I figured things would always be as I left them whenever I went back to visit.
In the two years I’ve been gone (can we talk about how time has flown?), four of my friends have had a couple kiddos, I missed out on being a...
Me: Good afternoon, this is Jamie, how can I help you?
Customer: Is this the softest telephone voice this side of New Jersey?
Me: I am going for the title.
Customer: Oh, there's no contest. Notice that I said 'telephone voice', though...'cause, you know, you never know what a person is like outside of work.
Me: Smart man.
I know, I know...
Yeah yeah, Tumblr. I get it that doing a 30-day challenge is a cop-out when you consider how I used to write on here and that doing said challenge for over 30 days and only being on Day 8 would make the Jamie of last year quirk a brow.
I really have no excuse other than the fact that my life amuses me so much more now and I don’t really have that...
