I think Canada loves me back
In the last week I’ve seen a shift in location of the visitors to this blog.
Visitors from Canada have now surpassed visitors from the United States.
Welcome, Canadians, I think we’re going to get along fine.

Erica: That stupid exclamation point post made me super self-conscious
Joy: why? I think it’s dumb. I love exclaimation marks! We should be celebrated by expressing happiness on the Internet! Not censured. Hooray for the day!
Erica: I guess.
Joy: You have a half snow day today! Hooray!
Erica: You are the wrong person to talk to about this.
Joy: Indeed!
Sorry, F. Scott Fitzgerald
doree:
“If you’ve spent any time trolling the blogosphere, you’ve probably noticed a peculiar literary trend: the pervasive habit of writers inexplicably placing exclamation points at the end of otherwise unremarkable sentences.

Because I had to trek through like five feet of snow to get to work, I am declaring today hero day. Or at least amazing people who have to go through absurd difficulties just to get their damn jobs done day.

BFFs
erica: I didn’t see last night’s LOST, so David Cho is making up fake lost spoilers and telling them to me Joy: Ugh, I didn’t think it was possible for me to hate Jack more than I already did. But when he killed Hurley? It pushed me over the edge erica: You’re the worst person in the world Joy: Come on, it’s not like I told you about Claire’s robot baby erica:...

My dreams CAN come true!
Bingley: @Darcy I can hardly wait to dance with @JaneB. She is the most capital girl I have ever met. #loveat1stsight Darcy: @Bingley Any savage can dance. #proofofmysuperiority Bingley: @Darcy JaneB’s sister, Lizzy is pretty. You could dance with her.

On Timing
Joy: Is this really racist?
Erica: Meh, no. Turks and Armenians? There’s history there.
Joy: And, you know, Genocide.
Erica: Right. I also like how you ask me if something is really racist AFTER YOU’VE ALREADY POSTED.

On Dreams
Mom: Are you still obsessed with the Olympics?
Joy: Incredibly so. I want to be a ski racer who does tricks and competes on an international level. And I sort of hate you for not letting me fulfill that dream.
Mom: Well, you could always be an athlete for Armenia.
Joy: Excuse me?
Mom: As a second-generation Armenian, I think you could go back there, claim genealogy and be an Armenian athlete....

Valentine's Day
Tonight I went to see Valentine’s Day. I had to go for Taylor, she needed me.
I knew it was going to be bad.
I just didn’t know it was going to be that bad.
It made me never want to be in a relationship ever again. Seriously, ever again. A boy looked at me when I walked out of the theatre, and I almost threw up. That’s how bad the movie was.
The real kicker is, when we walked...

I won the lottery!
No, I didn’t win millions of dollars, I won two dollars!
But this is only my second time playing the lottery, so really I consider it a huge win.
And, when you consider that the lottery is only one dollar, that’s double my money!
So I used my winnings to purchase TWO lottery tickets.
Who knows what I’ll win this week!
