Super Straw
OH MY GOD. I usually don’t get all starry-eyed and fan-girly about TV characters, but I just want to, as Leslie Knope would say, make out with him. On his face.

Drive-by shootings scare me a lot more than they...
Now, I don’t know why the lady in the Lexus would want to shoot me off my pink bike (with the library books in the basket), but, hey- you never know.

Kids are the funniest, ever. Period.
I student-taught in a kindergarten classroom this year, and I learned this- six year olds are the funniest people EVER. Here are some snippets cards the kiddos made me when I left. They are so sweet and hilarious that they’re making me a bit damp-eyed even now.
THE YELLOW ROSE KILLS ME.

The best TV show idea ever would...

Also, Jennifer Morrison from House was my new stepsister. Whew. All I know is...

Per usual, the ladies over at HelloGiggles are spot on. I’ve been youtube-ing old episodes while I scrapbook (mii lyfe iz cRazzzY), and I realized how brilliant Lizzie McGuire was. That shit helped me through a lot of preteen things and taught me about the Rat Pack, to never hang out with someone named Angel, and, of course, that crimped hair is always cool.

A list of things that I did during my stint as a...
-Successfully convinced a child with an Alfalfa-style hair sprout that eating her tortilla rather than wearing as a mask would be in her best interests.
-Got stung by a scorpion in the middle of the night and convinced myself that I was allergic to them, then acted like a war hero for the rest of the day.
