I don't even know.
Kat: Just enough or too much boob?
Me: *too busy drinking to speak, so I'll thumbs up*
Kat: Good.

I simply can't explain how happy I am to be...
Don’t get me wrong, it’s been great traveling in Paris and Naples, but I’m excited to not have to feel like an idiot at all times for not knowing the language.
Anyway, today Kat and I went to the catacombs.
Have I ever told you guys that I’m a complete and total sissy? Because I am. I still sleep with a nightlight sometimes, and if I’ve seen anything remotely scary...

Look at your life, look at your choices.
Today I walked down Champs Elysees with Kat and bought a dress (at H&M, no judging), took some pictures of L’Arc de Triomphe, and had some bitchin’ seafood pasta. After a long walk (around the corner from your house MY ASS, Kat) to not be able to buy crepes because the machine was broken, Kat and I went to the supermarket and bought Orangina and some fancy chocolatey dessert...

So I went to Naples...
and met my family! Awkward? Oh yes. Awesome? Absofuckinglutely.
This, dear followers (of which there are apparently now 40 and really I don’t know why but hiya and thanks!) is why I have been nonexistent for the past few days. It’s been such a whirlwind and I don’t know if I’ll ever properly be able to get my thoughts down.
My grandfather left Monte di Procida, a little...

Parisian Accomplishments: Day Three
Today’s episode is being written at 3:20 in the morning because today Kat and I are flying to Italy! Hooray! Our shuttle is picking us up at 4! Not so yay!
My sleep for the past couple days: an hour and a half Tuesday night, a full night Wednesday, five hours Thursday night, and about three hours last night. Meanwhile, yesterday two of my three meals was comprised almost entirely of a...

Quotes without Context
“Can I fondle your dog?”
“I am a god of sex!”

“Does that mean party place?”

Parisian Accomplishments: Day Two
Soooo I’m feeling very fancy that my 600th post is being written from Paris. *tosses hair* SO European.
So the accomplishments for yesterday are being written today because, to be honest, I was really drunk last night. I realize this is probably not the best thing to write on the internet, but honestly I think that’s a little ridiculous and smacks of America’s lingering roots in...

Parisian accomplishments: Day One
get lost a lot Kat claims this is “successfully navigating Paris”
babble incoherently whenever someone makes eye contact
buy a hat because either I lost mine on the way to the airport or I forgot to put it on in my sleep deprived stupor
buy a scarf because it matches the hat and a pair of gloves because I perpetually underestimate how cold it is going to be
not fall over halfway...

iTunes and Amazon won't let me buy the Inception...
Mondo bummer.
In other news, I just watched like eight different Disney recuts set to the Inception trailer audio and it’s pretty much the best thing ever. My new life goal is to have a movie I wrote (either actually wrote or an adaption of one of my novels) turned into that meme, despite the fact that by the time I get to that point this meme will be long dead.

Packing is exhausting.
Seriously, y’all. My hands are shaking from trying to cram everything into one bag.
I don’t even get a purse in addition to that bag like normal. Thanks for being a douche, Ryanair. I bet you anything they’re going to make me check my bag.
Still, I think I have a decent range of clothing for the trip, my sneakers, a pair of flats, and I’ll be wearing my black boots on...
We should move to Williamsburg.
Kat: by the way, I have so many plans for cooking next year
Moi: lol of course you do
Kat: I really want to try and make my own pasta. also, I think I should try my hand at jams
Moi: lol if you really want
Kat: I just think it would be nice. and then we can have homemade jam on your fresh made bread
Moi: oh my god
Kat: I COULD CHURN BUTTER
Moi: we can rule all the hipsters in the world
Kat and I are awesome and our hilarity must be...
Kat: I think of you whenever I see that Brendan Fraser gif too
Me: That's good. If I greet you like that in Paris will you still be my friend?
Kat: Absofuckinglutely.

I apologize in advance for spamming you with .gifs...
Well, lately I’ve been talking about my friend Kat a lot, and I thought I would explain our relationship through interpretive dance gifs, I mean really they’re basically an addiction now and I’ve had five snacksize Mars bars so I’m ridiculously hyper.
Anyway, Kat was my roommate at Fordham for the past two years and is easily one of my closest friends. Living with me means...

So far so good.
I’m in that state of mind right now where pretty much everything is a stressor. Basically anything I think about makes my blood pressure spike. Partly this is just part of my depression cycle that I am firmly pretending is not happening right now in the hopes that that will magically make it stop happening, and partly this is because travelling is stressful for everyone and this would be a...
I just can't help myself.
TIME FOR ANOTHER GIFS POST. I just like having an excuse to use them. Just ignore me.
Anyway, I’m done with exams!
Today was my British-American colonialism exam. I didn’t really like the class anyway, so it’s hardly surprising that it kind of sucked. I DID study for it, but my brain was just not in exam mode. Most of the time I was just sitting there like “BRAIN IT...
amantes-amentes replied to your post:“Have fun going abroad!” “But I’m already abroad.” “You know what I mean.”
Honestly, it is a bit of a revelation, even to set foot in Italy if you’re of Italian heritage. You’re like, WHOA. THESE ARE MY PEOPLE. MY BLOOD PEOPLE. MY ANCESTORS WALKED HERE. HOLY FUCK. Have fun!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that’s...

"Have fun going abroad!" "But I'm already abroad."...
Tomorrow morning I will be flying to Paris.
I keep telling myself that, but I still can’t quite believe it. Of course, I also keep telling myself that I have an exam in like an hour and a half, but I don’t quite believe that either.
And then on Saturday I’ll be flying to Naples to visit my grandfather’s cousins.
As excited as I am to see Paris (I mean, it’s Paris)...

I need to work on this whole "going to sleep"...
Steph, I know your exam isn’t until two in the afternoon tomorrow, but that doesn’t make staying up until 3 am a good idea.

IN WHICH I GET STUCK ON A WORD THAT REMINDS ME OF THIS CERTAIN MAN AND I GET UP AND LEAVE AND RUN THROUGH THE COLD, BRUTALIST HALLWAYS ALL THE WAY TO HIS COZY HIDEY-HOLE AND THROW ALL THE BOOKS OFF FROM HIS DESK AND CONFESS MY UNDYING LOVE FOR HIM?
Maybe if I was drunk.
Instead I’ll just put a question mark if I don’t know the word.

disneyhunks replied to your post: HI NEW PEOPLE!
Hello! It’s always nice to make a new friend :-)
Hiya! I just like that you called the Disney princes hunks. It makes me feel less like a crazy person to be like “You know, if he were real I would totally tap that.”
MAKE IT STOP.
So tonight I had dance rehearsal for Guys and Dolls with the St Andrews Operatic Society (which sounds super fancy but it’s basically the community theatre group). We use a rehearsal CD that’s basically a midi file of the whole show and now I CAN’T GET THAT MIDI SOUND OUT OF MY HEAD AND IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE.
I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO THE HAVANA CLUB SCENE...
HI NEW PEOPLE!
I can’t remember the last time I did one of these, but I think I have a few new friends.
Um, say hello if you would like! Thanks for thinking I’m interesting?
I’m sorry, these gifs are just like shiny new toys and I can’t resist playing with them.
What should I get my Italian relatives? Part Two
Right, so talking to a friend while waiting to audition today, I said something about not knowing what to get my Italian relatives. And she automatically said, “Shortbread. Bring them some good shortbread.”
And I was surprised, because she was the second person to have suggested that. I asked her if it was an established “thing” and she was like “Well, I don’t...
