I get texts like this all the time...

Katie: What's a riot grrrl and am I one?
Me: If you don't know what they are, that's a clue that you aren't one. I'm not even one. I'm not badass enough.

Me: You can't just magically become a riot grrrl overnight. 
Katie: Yes. Yes I can. I can fake it.
Me: Katie, the other day when I was talking about Dan Yemin from Lifetime, you thought I meant the TV network.

Tom Gabel comes out as transgender →

This is amazing, another reason to add to my already very long list of why I love Against Me! ‘The Ocean’ has always been an inspiring song to me and now that I know this about Tom (now Laura), the lyrics take on a whole different, even cooler level.

Actual bridal requests from Ellen (who, if you...

Ellen: Hey, do you know the band Savage Garden?
Me: ah wunna staaaaaaaand wif you on a mountaaaaain... barf
Ellen: No, I mean do you actually know them.
Me: Wait, like personally? wtf, no.
Ellen: But they're from Brisbane and you lived there!
Me: Ellen, by that logic, I'm best friends with Tina Fey, which would be awesome, but it's not the case. No, I don't know them, why would I?

Me: ... If I had no shame, a million dollars and wanted to waste it on the worst idea ever.
