Please excuse me while I kill myself

“The 22-year-old bride, a former hairdresser, was escorted down the aisle by her father Thomas to Bella Notte, from Lady And The Tramp, played on the guitar by a friend of the Jonas Brothers.”
And the groom even bought his bride glass slippers as a surprise for the big day.
He said: ‘I knew that my princess needed her glass slippers and her castle.’

But I want to open them NOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Dad: Can we open presents now?
Mom: Is it Christmas?
Joy: It’s Christmas in Europe!
Mom: Are we in Europe?
Dad: No, but we’re classy like Europeans.
Mom: If we were in Europe, you could open presents. Since we’re not, you have to wait until the morning.
Dad: FINE!

Mom: If you want to get married and have babies, I know someone who is looking for a wife.
WatchGuys? Guys. We’re friends, right? like we know each other. And if someone asked you, “What are three words that describe Joy Engel,” you’d probably say “Maine, Christmas aaaaaand something about reproductive rights.”
I love Maine and I love Christmas. How then, did I only find this video today?

I love Spencer a lot. He’s an amazing writer and a great friend. And sometimes I call him to have girl talk. And he listens, even though I’m pretty sure he finds my issues rather pedestrian.
On Boots
Hey tumblr,
A few of you have asked me where I got these beauties. They are from Frye and I love them more then words. My mom has a pair of Frye boots that she got back in the 80s and they are still beautiful and wonderful. I wasnt very daring and just asked for the black ones, but I think the red ones are delicious.
Be more daring! Get them in red!

1. Batman Returns
Dude. Die Hard.
Life of Brian. Duh.
While I agree very strongly with all this, I must say that Home for the Holidays is actually an exceptional movie that is, like Die Hard, really about the spirit of the holidays. (Honestly I love that movie almost as much as Clue...
On Music
Joy: I’m making you a copy of Lady GaGa
Mom: Will I like this?
Joy: Yes! She is bringing performance art to the mainstream! Totally incredible. I’m also making you a copy of Rufus Wainwright singing Judy Garland covers. It’s pretty much the best album of the year.
Mom: Are you sure you’re not gay?
Joy: I make out with too many boys to be gay.
Mom: I’m more...
Oh, home
Dad: New headline: Canibus hurts young minds than originally thought.

Dad: Canibus!
Mom: But I like Canada!
Joy: Pot, mom.
Mom: ooooh.

New flight schedule: San Francisco to Salt Lake, Salt Lake to Boston and then a bus to Maine. Home in Maine by 8 p.m. Still time to...
