“She was laughing at me because her “au pair” said that my new nanny...”

On difficult facial hair
When I was a young kid, I had dirty blond hair.
As I grew up, it slowly turned to brown. For a while, it would turn back to dirty blond during the summer.
Now, not so much.
Except on my face
The hairs all around my lip come in about 2/3 brown and 1/3 blond. There are varying degrees of blondness all over my face. Naturally, it’s not in a regular pattern. Nor is it symmetrical.
Strange.

One language to rule them all
My ex was from New Jersey (yes, like trash, I picked her up), but went to the University of Toronto.
I’d usually travel home with her during the Christmas holidays. It was nice most of the time.
The thing is, I was dating her when the Lord of the Rings was out. I got a copy of Fellowship of the Ring and Two Towers from her family in the States.
We broke up around the time Return of the...
Have you ever noticed...
On days you’d rather sleep in, or do something other than work, you wish you were sick so that you’d have an excuse not to go in?
Yet when you are sick (especially for a protracted period of time), it’s a matter of pride to get to work, even if you should be resting?
paxochka answered your question: Oooh! What’s a “Top Tweet”? How’d I get one?
Oooh no idea :) Maybe it showed on the front page of twitter. WHICH IS AWESOME :)
I never see that stuff. Don’t you need to be logged out to see that?

yodelmachine asked: I couldn't find a good one of hot-mechanic-y Kaylee! Only a painting that was pretty good but it wasn't going to help me win any arguments because, you know, not a photo. This was the best I could get that wasn't tiny. SIGH.
mentalextensions:
Sometimes I think about how one day, like with myspace and facebook, we’ll all be ashamed that we had tumblr and twitter accounts, and I laugh.
Like we’ll also deny disliking 3D movies when there first became prevalent.
Need a Greasemonkey script for tumblr to always... →
Of course, this is a userscript that requires the Greasemonkey extension, or some such.
On my userscripts.org page, there are some other useful scripts for twitter, such as:
Twitter Lines: Restore line breaks people have used on twitter and brizzly
Twitter 1-Up: See here
Twitter Toggles: Add toggles for showing/hiding @replies and #hashtags on twitter.com and brizzly.com
Some useful...
You can post to tumblr from TweetDeck? Who knew?
So apparently, you CAN'T reply to a post directly...
I checked.
That’s dumb.
lindsaylooo replied to your post: The fact that I can only photo reply and not text reply to your post is the new “Tits or GTFO”
AND YET I CANNOT PHOTO REPLY TO YOURS!
If I had known there was even the SLIGHTEST chance you’d take my “Tits or GTFO” statement seriously, I would have done it.
Bam! Photo reply!
Patience

After a hellish summer, the day has finally come. In the morning I shall finally be moving :) I’m so excited! Today I met a chunk of my roommates friends and they really liked me (they’re all gay and beautiful btw). We got blazed and drunk and we really got to understand one another. I’m so thankful to be moving in with people who like me and have my back.
As for your image,...
Hey tumblr, stupid question.
Is it possible to reply to a post from someone’s tumblr page (as opposed to from the dashboard)?
How?
The fact that I can only photo reply and not text...
I don't care how much I value the SI unit...
(International System of Units)
Honestly, though. I’d much rather say 10^6 seconds, and NEVER 1 Megasecond. That just sounds like a smart-ass kid telling you how long he needs to save his game before he can come to the dinner table.

thefaceeater replied to your post: What the fucking fuck is up with fucking Mondays?
I think I just fell in love with you, a little bit.
It happens to the best of people. It can’t be reciprocated, of course. Not on a Monday.

What the fucking fuck is up with fucking Mondays?
Nobody wants to be here.
Probably least of all, me. I would rather be home in bed asleep. Or perhaps sitting on the balcony in the morning sun reading a book.
Instead, I’m here. In a cubicle. With no windows. I have a snazzy desktop background, but it does little to stem the tide of fatigue and disappointment in the fact that I have a full-time job that unfairly expects me to come in EVERY...
No, Mom. I go to Hogwarts.
Mom: So are you ready for school tomorrow?
Me: What? I don't start tomorrow. I start Wednesday.
Mom: What are you talking about?
Me: September 1st is when I start, Mom.
Mom: No. Stop being silly. I'm waking you up at six tomorrow.
Me: Why? The train doesn't leave until eleven.
Mom: What train? Stop being ridiculous. You're scaring me. Now did you get all your supplies?
Me: No. I have almost everything, but I still need my owl. Will you pick it up for me?
Mom: Cindy, I'm serious. Quit.
Me: Mom. I'm scared.
Mom: Oh, honey! Why?
Me: .... What if they put me in Slytherin?
Mom: GO TO YOUR ROOM.

You dream advertisements?! That’s creepy…they found a way to actually get inside our heads!
That would totally explain the dream about Lightspeed Briefs.
So I had this dream...
Maggie and I were sitting in armchairs in the room in our new house (closing is in 3 days) that we are going to make into a little reading nook.
She was reading something. It was a really oversized book that was difficult to read. Every time she turned one of the enormous and hard-to-turn pages, she let out an exasperated sigh.
Each time, I smiled smugly from behind a mug of hot chocolate while...
vepace replied to your photo: You know your popularity is just starting to get…
I aaaallmost starred that too.
My fiancee was saying something condescending to me, so I yelled that. And then tweeted it for posterity’s sake.
I didn’t expect stars.
Although ranch dressing IS great on a lot of things.
