blood, bones and butter (need to finish. yes, i read two books at a time)
catcher in the rye (for the first time!)
instant love (because i met...

word of the day: persnickety →
a word that is just really fun to say
persnickety \per-SNIK-i-tee\, adjective:
1. Overparticular; fussy. 2. Snobbish or having the aloof attitude of a snob. 3. Requiring painstaking care.
The point here is to make your animal understand that its upstairs neighbour is exceptionally persnickety about territory.

word of the day: deucedly →
pretty sure i’m just going to keep thinking it’s “douchedly” though
deucedly \DOO-sid-lee, adverb:
Devilishly; damnably.

It’s most important. You will put me in...

arguments like this are exactly why IB is so necessary. the prevailing thought that “american” should stand for ignorance, complacency and anti-intelligence make me all the more glad there is a program out there fighting this overwhelming stupidity we now call “patriotism.”

How to Go to a Party Alone | HowAboutWe →
i am deathly afraid of going to things alone.
i hate it. i blame it all on prom. but then, what can’t be blamed on prom? my love of taco bell, the scar on my left foot, my hate of dresses with metalic threading are just some examples.
alas, dear friend Lauren Passell, the hilarious lady behind Loop Letters, is helping people like me (needy singletons) handle social events solo, with their...

apparently, Harvard students these days have nothing better to do than study “the Facebook pages of 200 college students over four years” (read: their friends) and ultimately determine that “students who shared similar tastes in music bonded.”
