I was listening to This American Life and one of the stories was about this girl whose mom died, but before she died she wrote her all these letters and had the dad send them to her on each of her birthdays and there was one for her wedding day, too. Hot damn I love that show but you never really know when it is going to cause an emotional reaction and/or potentially uncomfortable moment in...

KiNda FaBuLoUs: Snark in the name of Friendship →
molls:
Being snarky in the name of friendship is something I 100% support. Til the day I die, if someone wrongs one of my friends, I will come up with something so snarky to say about that offender they will wish they had been born in a different, kinder millenium. Snark in the name of friendship is also…

Just remembered a story I heard last night
while I was having dinner with a friend and this guy who is visiting her from LA. He used to work at the Chocolate Factory and one day, Stevie Wonder came in. After he ordered, he busted out one of those roll up keyboards and just started playing right there at his table! Obviously everyone at the restaurant was dying - how cool is that??
the kids of America
My 19 yr old cousin has been dating this girl on and off for like three years. There are stories from their volatile, codependent relationship that would make your jaw drop. Instead of telling those, here’s a little look into the psyche of an overly dramatic high school senior girl, via some of the Facebook pages she is a “fan” of:

Applauding vs. knocking on tables?
Sometimes conversations started during early morning elevator rides can be surprisingly enjoyable! Today I was talking to a guy in my office who brought up the “German knock”. He recently gave a presentation to a group of German clients, and apparently they started knocking on the table at certain parts and when they were done.
