summer girls. (the LFO version, of course)

Hey blogosphere,

Sorry we've been pretty damn negligent for...oh, I don't know, maybe multiple MONTHS. But we hope to change this over the summer. Yes, C, Ellen, and I are all working various jobs, but it's not like we have homework to do or anything.

Let's just take things slow as we get back into things. And of course, that means a good old TEXT OF THE DAY!


  • C: I'm dying. M: I am using my mom's foot massaging machine and watching the office [at 5:30 PM on a Tuesday]. WIML? C: Put that on the site!!! I just lol'd.
Might I also add that C and I went on a lunch date today? Let's just talk about how fabulous and classy it was for me to bring my own food to a burger place where C dined. I am that chick who brings her own lunch - bite me. Been doin' it hardcore since kindergarten. 

Love from M.!

bring tha motha****** ruckus!

I'm doing a new social experiment.

How long must I blast Wu-Tang Clan in order to get my neighbor to stop singing? It seems to be effective in making him stop after each 30 second clip of gangster rap. Then he starts again. But when he starts again, so do I. I'm hoping that this will soon become Pavlovian in that he will realize that he will be  rewarded with silence when he gives silence to me.

I might be evil. But wait! He's stopped. No noise for a solid two minutes. Success? At least for now.


VS

I'll let you know of any updates in this battle.

Weekend Update.

Surprisingly, I am alive and well after a week of midterms and illness! I was even alive and well enough to party a little harder than my cat lady schedule normally allows. Friday night I went with out with two friends. Because they haven't been mentioned on here before and I have misplaced my list of fake blog-friendly names, I will just refer to them as N and O. Get it? M, N, and O. Isn't that cute? Wouldn't you think that was cute if you were 70 and a cat lady? Yeah. No.

Anyway, I have digressed. We went to a party at a brother of a friend of a friend's house. It was a sausagefest of senior boys, which is preferable to a sausagefest of freshmen boys, but still a fest of sausages nonetheless. Activities included getting hit on (a rare occasion) by one very questionable character and one slightly-less-questionable character and playing 3-on-3 beer pong (or BP, or beirut, or rut, or whatever you want to call it) with 21 cups against 3 senior guys. This was a new experience for me, as was playing BP with a specific partner I had to challenge. The ball my competitor and I used was labelled- ahem- SNASHF#!K. Oh, of course, snashf#*k! Love her! Turns out this word, which was not even on Urban Dictionary, was the nickname of one of the competitor's former lady encounters. Good. Really good.

Though my BP partner had warned me that I would be drinking a lot, bragging about his skills before the game even commenced, he actually was pretty bad. Nothing compared to O's competition, who made every shot. Needless to say, her condition took a turn for the worse pretty quickly. After our game was over, she took to dancing, and this disgusting gorilla of a hipster interpreted that to mean that he had free reign over her booty. So he grabbed it. Then he grabbed it again as she walked by. Yeah, Hipster Gorilla, you're going to do more (or less) than grab a girl's butt and sport hipster glasses if you really want a girl to get with you. Maybe you should keep booty-grabbing to how it works out though! (I wonder what would have happened if George had been with us...)

Luckily, Hipster Gorilla did not have a chance to start such antics. Once O took to kicking a soccer ball in the corner, he came over to me and asked, "Is your friend okay?" "Yeah, I've got her covered," I said, "but she would probably be better if you stopped grabbing her ass every 5 seconds." He actually pretended to agree and said, "Yeah, I agree with that proposition." BOO-YAH. M CAN BE SASSY EVEN WHEN SLIGHTLY INTOXICATED. GET IT.

Overwhelmed with cheap beer and sausages, we left shortly after this incident and proceeded to return to the dorms and chat while recovering with chocolate-covered pretzels. It was a good night. We wore clothes when we went out, which cannot honestly be said by about 85% of the girls at our school who go out. We weren't stupid. Though one of us did not succeed at keeping the gorilla hands off her booty, we will be more on the lookout for those grimy booty-grabbers next time.

In stark contrast to Friday night, my Saturday night involved a trip to my parents' house for the long weekend, which of course means a visit with my cats. I may have been in my PJs at 8:30 PM. No big. I know y'all are glad to see that I really am a cat lady at heart, even if I sometimes have to watch out for Hipster Gorillas and their grabby hands.

If you're confused about this blog's name and the anti-booty-grabbing theme prevalent in this post, you clearly haven't been reading GCBIMH for long enough. So now this means you get to feast your eyes, body, and soul by reading every post ever.

Best of luck,
M. <3

The Day Has Arrived...

Today was Valentine's Day, and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. It had its ups (feeling like I did well on my first midterm), and it had its downs (coughing up both lungs and constantly sniffling). But basically it was a day of rebellion. And by rebellion I mean rebellion as likely defined by a 70-year-old cat lady.

  • I let Ellen's boy into the room this morning so he could leave some V-Day treats on her desk.
  • I received a cat card in the mail that actually meows. I listened to it for about a solid minute. It is probably the equivalent of a Howler for most people. 
  • I have come to terms with the fact that I love Taylor Swift. I don't give a damn whether her songs are filled with fantasy and things that will never happen and clichés and faux feminism. I love her. Get over it. This act of rebellion in particular probably just makes me a hipster because I like something it's not "cool" for hipsters to like. Hipsterism is so confusing. They need to teach a class on it. 
  • This isn't rebellious, but just plain exciting - I got one of my gifts from Paul. =) It is a bonsai/bamboo heart thing. It is unique (or so I tell myself) and cute and probably featured in Stuff White People Like
Speaking of white things, I received this someecard today:


...and now I'm going to go listen to Tay-Tay and study for my second midterm (and by that I mean trying to make my new bonsai plant happy). 

White, single, and sickly yours,
M.
