Anticipating 2012

God. I remember the post I made about being confused about what to "call" 2011. And now this! I'm never going to catch up. This year, I graduated from college, celebrated a lovely anniversary with Boyf, traveled a bit, made new friends, strengthened bonds with old ones, and started my MBA candidacy on the right foot...it was a big year for me and I'm so, so grateful to everyone who helped make it so.

To my readers, I hope 2011 was as good to you as it was to me - and I trust 2012 will be even better! I really can't wait to see what this year will bring.

Love,
-Priya

PS. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! LOL

MOI!

So you guys have obviously seen the Shit Girls Say video that came out a couple days ago? If you're confused, it's something that reminded you directly of me because it's a movie about MOI! But just in case you haven't seen it (I mean come on?!), here it is:



And because it is so hilarious and so well done - that guy walks in heels better than I...well, nobody walks in heels better than I do (ed note: outrageous lie)* but it was close - it obviously became super popular, and you know what happens when a "viral video" gets super popular right?



Sigh. I love a good Response Video! [Insert disclaimer re: my reservations about painting huge swaths of humanity with a single brush] I mean, I'm sure there are some girls out there that don't really identify with the characters in that first video but 1. I haven't met any, and 2. WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK ANYWAY (humorless cunts).

I apologize for "cunts" but I've been listening to a lot of Ricky Gervais lately and he's got me convinced that it doesn't have the same American brand of misogyny attached to it in the UK and other parts of the world, so I'm going to say "cunts" and just let people think I'm very Continental or generally Well-Traveled. You might find it hard to believe that cursing a particular way can make people think you're cultured, but I HAVE SEEN IT WORK.

*Uh, fuck yeah I just (ed. note)'d myself. I have multiple personalities and they all hate each other. And you.

Jay is a Fashionisto

I love this. It explains rap lyrics to you so you can become an Urban Scholar!

Of course, unfortunate things do happen occasionally, like when I clicked on a word in "No Church in the Wild" and this popped up:

I feel an impact tremor...in my underpants!

Guilty!

I like your Christ.

I happened to see an ad for this in the corner of a gossip website I was reading. This is called the "Bless and Protect Knife." That's right - it's a knife that just happens to be a cross, not a cross that happens to be a knife. Isn't it kind of gruesome? And during the holiday season too! If Christ came back today, do you think he would appreciate this?

WOMAN.

Me?

I would love to just BE this moment, suspended in time, forever.
