I am really missing Portland today

[schmerica]

ficbyzee just forced me to watch another Fall Out Boy interview -- I know, the things I do for friendship, right? It's an older one where there's a part where they mention their favorite touring stories, and start talking about drawing penises on the face of drunk guys. Which is to say, teabagging is seriously like only a small step away from canon, isn't it?

Starting tomorrow, I am giving up soda pop. I am announcing this to the entire internet in the hopes that the more people know about it, the more likely I am to stick with it, because I'll have to admit to more people and have more shame if I fail. I was telling my mom on the phone today that I actually kind of wish I had someone with me who was quitting something big, like smoking, at the same time, so whenever I felt whiny I could look at them and be like "suck it up, erica, they're managing it, and they're doing something much, much harder!" But then my mom told me that apparently my dad has been cigarette-free since January 2nd, which, AWESOME.

The Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive was on another one of my podcasts this afternoon. I still think Sam Carter beats the pants off him.

These are the interests I currently have listed in my facebook profile:

linguistics, history, gossip, cooking, feminism, geekiness, science fiction, fantasy, unicorns, zombies, comic books, striped socks, pink glitter, weeks of rainy days, second run theaters, trashy television, quiz shows, npr podcasts, romance novels, bookstores, driving around aimlessly, being AWESOME, capslock abuse, ya writers' blogs

I'm sort of proud by how well that shows my personality.

Back to my evening of comic books and crossword puzzles!
