Y’all, I can’t stop listening to this Adele/Britney Spears mashup. Approximately 100 of the views on this YouTube video are from me. Dance along with me and catch up with your frayns in tonight’s open thread!

I don’t know where this came from (yes, my inbox, but before that) but I love it.
‘Mamihlapinatapai, you say? Hmmm, how do you spell that?’
I think I added another 100 views to this since last night. I love Adele. I love her so much. And I never noticed how much she looks like Leighton Meester before. Maybe it’s the headband.
I love mash-ups. Why did the reply space move all the way down under the comments in stead of on top though?
I updated to the latest version of our theme and it broke everything. I should have the comment box back where it needs to be as soon as I remember how to do it. : )
Aha. Thanks for the update!
Oh, don’t mind me. I’m packing. At 6am. An hour before taking the bus to the train station to catch my train to Germany. Yeah, I dragged that one out.
Today was (still is) my birthday. Is it me, or are actual birthdays always disappointing? Thankfully I had a kickass party on Saturday, but today was a regular workday with slightly colder weather than I’d like for April, punctuated by a spat with a friend that really was just a miscommunication. Ick. Then tomorrow I just settle for being 27. Ignore the pity party, sorry.
I’ll join your pity party if there’s place for one more. My birthday is next Monday, and I’m sulking over the fact that I’m here in Canada with cold, shitty weather instead of being home where April means flowers, warm weather and kick ass bbqs. That, and I still don’t have a very close group of friends here, so I think I’ll be at home downing a bottle of wine in my party dress. Maybe I’ll convince the man of the house to make me dinner…
(Happy belated birthday, by the way!)
Aww, hope it turns out to be better than you’re anticipating. If there are any even slightly-friends, birthdays are a great way to force them to hang out with you and be your friend :). Maybe you’ll get a beautiful day, too. Happy early birthday!
Every once in a while, I have to think about and make a list of Things I’m Saving Up For. Tonight, I’m going to share some of that list with you, and I think it would be fun if you did the same.
1) French Curve tattoo (over my left kidney) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_curve) (I have been sewing since I was 9, and they are used in pattern-making) (This will be my first tattoo, and probably my only one)
2) The entire X-Men Animated Series on DVD so I can watch it in an awesome marathon weekend (note: might need to take several weekends).
3) A nice gray cardigan that goes with almost everything.
I’m not consciously saving up, but I’m pretty tight with my money in general. If I had to say I was saving up for anything, it’s more along the lines of a big move. Out of state. That’s really saving! Those tattoos are kick-ass, though. Happy saving!
At the moment, my two cousins and I are saving for a trip together: instead of buying each other stuff for Christmas and birthdays, we pool our money together into a joint bank account. Aside from that, I don’t really save for stuff, but I do think it over for a long time before buying new things, and I’ve noticed that I’m evolving towards a more frugal/uncluttered life.
The french curve tattoo rocks! What colour would you get? I too have been thinking about tatoos lately, considering the idea of getting a literary one… But I’m debating about the visibility, the money and so on…
I just want the outline in black. I don’t even want it filled in. It’s like a nice piece of abstract art that way, but it actually means something.
Re: X-Men animated series, if you’re anything like me, it won’t take nearly as many weekends as you think it will. :-p
I got the apartment I wanted! It’ll be my first apartment, and I only looked at a few but I really liked this one. Now I get to go to Ikea!
Whooooo go you! I got up ridiculously early this morning to look at an apartment, and totally didn’t feel like going… but the space is perfect. I called one other place to check it out and they haven’t called me back, so I think I’m just gonna go for it. A friend and I will probably be road-tripping to Ikea soon :)
I’ve finally made my way over here, though I ditched Jez ages ago, and hello, everyone! It’s been a busy couple of months!
Hello! Welcome to Persephone!
I just accepted my first subsitute job ( starts tmrw 2nd grade) any words of advice for me?
I just accepted my very first substitute job ( starts tmrw 2nd grade) straight outta students teaching any words of advice for me? I should mention that I’m a certified Art teacher so I don’t have much standard classroom experience, should I be worried?
*learn everyone’s name as fast as you can.
*go early and talk to the other second grade teachers, make sure you have a lesson plan and figure out what all the procedures are.
*in an emergency and you lose their collective attention, whisper.
*introduce yourself to the secretary, get to know her name and make sure to tell her goodbye. She’ll remember you if she needs a sub again.
*eat breakfast, drink coffee, take vitamin, put bottle of Excedrin in glove box.
*find a great book on the bookshelf and read to the kids if they do a good job for you.
*2nd graders don’t tend to test subs as much as older kids, but they’ll push the boundaries. Make sure you know the classroom rules and enforce them.
*have fun, 8 yr olds are really cool.
Um, wow. I am neither a huge Adele fan nor a huge Britney fan but together, I like. Very much.
I am going to listen to this on repeat forever. Play it at my funeral. I don’t even care.
I was playing Rockband with my brother and I missed Community. Pout.
I was walking to meet a friend at a restaurant she was at the other location of. I always end up watching that and Parks and Rec online on Fridays, though. Looks like both were good, from the Tumblr posts I’m seeing about them!
Yeah I blame you for this song being in my iTunes rotation now. I love a good mash up. I use to go to a bar/club and they played the BEST mash up of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ and Lady Gaga’s Just Dance. I have yet to find a version on youtube that matches the perfection of the one I spent many a night dancing to.
Getting settled after a move SUCKS. And is wicked expensive. I knew there was a reason I didn’t do it for almost 11 years. Tonight’s adventure: assembling the wrong height counter stools and trying to figure out how to get the dogs to stop “helping.” Tomorrow’s adventure: bringing back the wrong size stools, and maybe, just maybe, getting the right ones.
I hate moving so much. I’m pretty set about never ever moving again, but I guess we’ll see.
