The least tasteful joke ever
It begins with “What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?”
Men who I respect have started this joke around me multiple times. I don’t give them the satisfaction of the comedic timing and punchline. I finish it begrudgingly before they can, because let’s face it- it’s not funny coming out of a woman’s mouth. I don’t care if you set it up as a...

Watch“The Shoe Trick”
My favorite part is when Zack says, “We’re doing the shoe trick!” as if to say, “Well obviously!” (Somewhere on the internet is a French guy showing you how to get a cork out of a wine bottle using a shoe.)

WatchDay 5: A moment of thrill
Mine and Joe’s first dance at our wedding- video I just finally got my hands on. The person taking it was holding the camera the wrong way, and that accounts for the size. I have a lot of personal criticisms of our dancing, but I’ll save ‘em. Thrilling doesn’t begin to describe dancing in a room full of people you know after just getting...

Day 2: Ten Interesting Things About Yourself
My stepdad is also my half-uncle. So it follows that my stepbrother and stepsister are my half-cousins. Inquire within.
I have ulcerative colitis. It’s like IBS but they know what’s wrong with me. It also means I’m a genetic mutant.
I wish I could be the female Josh Lyman from the West Wing (except less socially repulsive).
I have always wished I had a twin brother. And...

Day 1: About your name.
I’m going to start a “30-day challenge” I’ve seen around Tumblr lately, and I suppose I’ll jump on the wagon. This one doesn’t seem like a typical fangirly one- not like the Star Wars one I started and then, sadly, abandoned. I don’t want my tumblr to be all about fangirl stuff.
Day 1: About your name
I’m not sure if this is referring to my real...

Great article that just showed up on the Tumblr Radar. I highly recommend it.

Retrospective: Oregon
The following is a post I began in the airport when we were leaving Oregon two weeks ago (it feels like months ago now- far too long):
It’s hard to describe my feelings over the course of my time here in Oregon. My feelings are overall positive. In fact, I feel like spending time with the Petersons in this limbo, this part of my life where I have felt unsure of nearly everything, has...

“…books are sacred to free men for good reasons, and … wars have been...”

Joe and I do the Hustle! →
This link is to a video of Joe and me dancing the hustle back when we were first dating. Like the link will tell you, it’s a pretty tame hustle, but Billy Jean is a pretty slow hustle song to begin with.
