fall back.

This is most definitely how I feel since the whole "Fall Back" thing of 2012...

I'm all "what is happening in the sky right now?"

what makes this beautiful

If I were a 12 year old girl, I'd be nutty for the Biebs, Carly Rae and One Direction.

But alas, I'm not 12.

But wait, I'm not 12 and yet...I still listen to all of the aforementioned music (ON OCCASION. I mean, it's good to be well-versed across all genres, including teen pop).

Also, this is pretty dang awesome. Have a listen:



WHY ARE PEOPLE SO TALENTED?

flip this apartment

Every so often I get antsy and find I need to rearrange SOMETHING in my everyday life. I don't live in a huge apartment, but it's all I need for now. Although there isn't too much room to move the big objects, I have a few smaller pieces (a la shelves, tables and desks) which can be tested and tried in various nooks and crannies.

Alas one evening, I came home from work and feng shui-ed my little heart out!

Where the desk used to live.

Tugger for President! He slays me. I want him. I need him. Merry Christmas to me?

lol.

I don't "lol" and there once was a time where I was scared of emoticons (thanks, Emoji language on the iPhone, for I am frightened no more).

I'd like to take you back to when AOL Instant Messenger was the reason for breathing. That's right: back to roughly sixth grade until well, senior year of college. Yes, that's a fact and I'm not ashamed of it.

Oh to return to the days where your "Away" message was the biggest deal in the world. And you were challenged each day to have the cleverest (needless to say, I rocked that challenge each day).

But wait!
You can!

A genius invented this Twitter handle and although there's a bit more drama entwined than my Away messages of choice growing up, it's still entertainment:

All this raises the ultimate question: have Facebook statuses replaced AIM Away messages?
