I'm dying right now. DYING.
I decided to look up my dopplegangers like everyone else in the Facebook universe. In case you can’t tell who’s who:
Ricki Lake. Anne Frank. Tony Blair. Jo Jo. Some Asian chick. Lara Flynn Boyle. Some other chick. Laura Bush.

I'm in the mood
to watch a completely heartbreaking, gutwrenching film tonight. Usually my go-to is West Side Story but I don’t want any of that cheery bullshit beforehand. Just give it to me cold and merciless for two hours.
I’m thinking Atonement. Maybe Hotel Rwanda. Unfortunately, neither are on my instant play in Netflix. I’ll probably have to pick something random and foreign. Those...
How to Fake Like You’ve Listened to Animal... →

Much like the knowledge that “Dostoevsky got exiled to Siberia because he’s a badass motherf*cker” will get you through a pal’s snooty MFA mixer, this handy dandy guide on Animal Collective will enable you to engage with the most rabid and literate of Animal Collective fans. Let the faking begin.

So hard not to name it "Ghana-rhea"-- →
but here’s the link for my new travel blog I plan to write in once I go to Africa. No “Ghana-rhea” since I’m trying to piss off the least amount of people as possible. Please follow!
Since I suck at technology, it’s in its rudimentary stage—however, I think I successfully added comments so family and friends can laugh at my anxiety attacks while I’m...
But for now: NAP.
For those still in/out of college:
How often would you say is appropriate for having panic attacks about the massive amount of loan money you owe?
So, for the ten weeks I'll be in Ghana, I have to...
plus the day before I leave and seven days after I get back. That’s 85 pills.
My insurance company won’t cover any of the expenses (hello $8 a pill!) and only allows me to receive 30 at a time.

Sorry, assholes, I’ll be in AFRICA when I need to refill my goddamn prescription. In fact, most people buying MALARIA PREVENTATIVE are not going to be in the United States...
I need to stop chugging orange juice over here,
because each time I get up to pee, I forget that our toilet is broken and hardly flushes properly.
Jesus Christ, Kat.

You guys,

I am really upset over the Golden Globes. Awkwardly upset, actually. How Quentin Tarantino won nothing is beyond me. And I’m sorry, James Cameron, but you can suck out. ‘Avatar’ can blow me. I could give two shits about that entire deal. At least Christoph Waltz won. LOVE HIM. I’ll marry him. Now. I’m doing it. Stream of consciousness over. Time to eat leftover birthday cake and watch...

A talk to the incoming international students at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, August 11, 2009
You’ll be interviewing the men and women who are trying to solve those problems—school principals, social workers, health-care workers, hospital officials, criminal justice officials, union officials, church officials, police officers, judges, clerks in city and state agencies—and when you...
The past four transactions on my credit card have...
But, dear Lord, not in the good way. No fucking way I’m buying a textbook for $100 and only using it for six weeks, you goddamn rapists.

This is actually on my saved list of quotations I have! Eugenides is quite quotable. While working on my anthropology homework and former linguistic notes, I have to think that English, albeit complex in grammar and...

I'm taking a class called "Navigating a New...
for my upcoming study abroad and I’ve been trying to place my professor’s voice for the past hour.
He sounds like Ira Glass.
Ira Glass with a slight accent but Glass nonetheless. Shame I don’t think I’ll ever meet him since it’s all online.
Since I only have six hours of school per week for...
I’ve decided to either:
spend my free time nurturing my alcoholism and my “stealth” (this is what Chelsea recommends—stealing coupons from the Gumby’s pizza boxes)
OR
knitting, reading, watching movies off Netflix and generally chilling before months of waking up at 5am with no easy access to cheese and ice cream
Decisions, decisions…

I have an interview next week! Not saying too much about it as not to jinx it (yeah, gettin’ superstitious on this joint), but if I was able to secure this job, I’d be a very happy lady.
WHAT SORT OF JOB?
I'm afraid to update my status on Facebook
halvgal:
cloakedartichoke:
just because I know I’ll get weird comments from my dad and everyone will make fun of me.
It’s basically me acting like I’m 14 and my dad just said a really lame joke in front of my friends.
“DAAAAAAAAD. STOOOOOOOOOP. You’re EMBARRRAAASSSSSING MEEEE. GAAHD.”
I personally love your dad’s comments.
YOU WOULD.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
Every recording artist I’ve expressed any interest in decides to play around Lansing/Michigan State the exact weekend I’ll be leaving for my study abroad.
Wilco. Sondre Lerche. I’m mostly eyeballing you.
Although, on the other hand, I will be in motherfucking Africa. Can’t complain there.

(via futurisms) KAT. LOOK AT THIS.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is the complete opposite of what genres I’ve been listening to lately.
BRB LISTENING TO HALL AND OATES ON REPEAT.
