Becca Stardust Escapes!
Last night The Fug Girls blogged a link to a riveting tumblr account chronicling a 15 year old girl’s move to a hippie commune in Oregon. The story is fake (proof: Ask About Becca) but it is so well written that you find yourself rooting for Becca to escape nonetheless. Hell, I even spent an hour googling the shit out of this to make sure there wasn’t some poor kid trying to get out of...

Tippyisms
Tippy: Where's Mummy?
Me: She went to the supermarket
Tippy: Oscar?
Me: No, another one
Tippy: which one?
Me: I don't know
Tippy: [incredulously] Izay ya3ni you don't know?
Me: I don't know!
Tippy sits quietly for a second, looks at me sideways and whispers: stoopid
Me: What did you say?
Tippy: Nothing!
Me: No you said something, what did you say?
Tippy: I said stop it, stop it.
Good save, Tippy. Good save.

This is why I pronounce Graham as "Gray-ham"...
kellyoxford:
PHENOMENON: When you read more than you speak, often you don’t pronounce the words properly in your mind when you read (see:lazy). So what you end up with is a new 2 second lag before you figure out how to say certain non phonetic words you lazily read incorrectly all of the time. Example: ‘Yosemite’ You know how to say it, and if someone said it to you, you could spell it… but...

Tina Fey’s prayer for her Daughter
First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches.
May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty.
When the Crystal Meth is offered, May she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer.
Guide her, protect her When...

When I Was Young
My favourite pastime was to daydream. It still is. It’s how I pass the time in the car, stuck in Cairo’s endless traffuck. It’s how I lull myself to sleep (and sometimes end up keeping myself up much later than I would have liked). It doesn’t help that I don’t feel like an adult; I still feel - and look - like a child at 24. It doesn’t matter that I graduated...

Music Therapy
I would have loved to be a super talented singer/songwriter. The sad truth is that I can neither sing, nor play an instrument, nor write songs.
However, I have a knack for Googling. Through my stellar searching skills I’ve been able to stumble across several refreshing music blogs that have provided me with excellent tunes over the years. I go through phases of focusing on different genres,...
