You know, it doesn’t even really annoy me to be able to hear my neighbor’s conversations in her upstairs apartment. What worries me is that if I can hear her, I’m sure she can probably hear everything I do and say. In which case she probably thinks I’m schizophrenic.

It’s only Wednesday. I cannot for the life of me grasp that fact today.

When you’re looking at rental houses online and the only thing they say in the listing is “Good, clean house,” it’s probably a safe bet that it’s neither of those things.

Well, I guess you know you’re tired when you wake up on the couch and have no recollection of intending to take a nap, or even of sitting down…
It is truly amazing how productive I can be when I’m putting off doing something else.

I made the most delicious lime pie ever today. I even squeezed fresh limes for it instead of using concentrate. This is a big deal for me, people.

Is it weird that I still get really excited about shopping for school supplies at my age?

I probably shouldn't be so cynical at 25
but I am just really over most people’s…well, most people. I’m pretty sure you’re not going to change anyone’s mind about their lifestyle or choices by telling them they’re going to hell. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure as shit not likely to join a religion that tries to win me over by condemning me. How about this: stop being dicks, start...

I find it painfully ironic that in all of the (many) times I’ve dropped my iPhone, the one time the screen shatters is the time when I drop it in the parking lot of the Apple store.

I really hate
when you see a band in concert that you’ve never heard of, end up loving them, go home and download their album…only to find out they’re SO much better live than on the album. Sigh.
Things that are not awesome:
Coming home at 10:00 at night to find that my absent-minded husband has left the oven on (probably since around 12 or 1 pm) AND the air conditioner turned way down all day while we’ve both been gone. Yay for conservative energy usage…

Edgefest 2012
Best parts:
CAKE, Garbage (Shirley Manson is still hot, I don’t care what you say), and Dead Sara.
Worst parts:
Freaking crowd surfers, and all these little kids smoking weed. WHERE ARE YOUR DAMN PARENTS? YOU’RE LIKE 12.
Overall, a great lineup and a good time. Over and out, my friends.

Making an ass of myself on the radio. And winning concert tickets in the process. Woo!

Hey next time I’m like, “Psh, we don’t need to rent another house, it’s cheaper and easier to just find an apartment, and then you don’t have to mow a lawn or anything, and it’s kind of fun living in an apartment as a young couple, and there’s a pool, etc. etc.” REMIND ME OF HOW MUCH IT SUCKS TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT AND HOW AWESOME IT IS TO NOT SHARE...

WHY IN GOD’S NAME DOES THE STUPID TV HAVE LIKE 5 INPUTS AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT SETTINGS AND REMOTES? ALL I WANT TO DO IS PUT ON MY DAMN JILLIAN MICHAELS DVD AND WORK OUT AND NOT FEEL LIKE SUCH A FATASS AND INSTEAD I’M SITTING ON THE COUCH YELLING AT THE BLANK TV SCREEN

Hi, my name is Erin and I have a problem.
I am utterly incapable of buying a pair of heels that do not have a peep toe.

My dogs generally cause more trouble than they’re worth, and Kirby in particular is a huge asshole most of the time…That being said, I still prefer their company to that of 99% of the humans I encounter on a daily basis.

Dear Monday,
Please stop being such a Monday.
Kindest regards, Erin
I am always amazed at some of the stupid shit I see on tumblr that has like 10,000 reblogs.

It seems unfair, in the general sense of human design, to put such an easily-annoyed, take-no-shit personality into such a cautious, confrontation-fearing person. One of these days, I will no longer be able to contain all of the things I want to bitch at people about, and I’m just going to split into multiple personalities. One of which may or may not be a serial killer or something....

How Birth Control Saves Taxpayers Money →
I realize this is an article from NPR about research coming from a “left-leaning” organization, but it’s also not the first research to show this trend. I also realize there are a lot of moral objections to contraceptives on various levels, but isn’t preventing the pregnancy from happening in the first place better at least than the abortions that occur after the fact...
