A post in which boys giggle and I suffer much humiliation.

This past Sunday I spent the day moving into my dorm. This involved going up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down stairs until everything was in my room. I don’t have that much stuff, but it seems like 900 million things when you don’t have your dad [...]

I move into my dorm on Sunday and start classes on Tuesday. I promise more interesting blogs will be coming your way SOON.

Often in life I turn to my mother, sister, family member and/or best friend and say “remember the time we/you/I…” and then I go on about something that usually happened within the last, oh I don’t know, ten minutes or so, and they just look at me and say, “you mean the thing that just [...]

In the Car

The brother: “That woman is ready to rock and roll!”
Me: “That isn’t funny, I think she has scoliosis.”
The brother: “You don’t know that. You’re not a doctor.”
Me: “No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.”

CRUISE VACATION: DAY FIVE

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
I think the best part of last night is what happened on the way to dinner. My mother and I were going to the upper parts of the deck to take pictures of this giant chess set they had set up (and yes, the Harry Potter [...]

CRUISE VACATION: DAY ONE

A long, long time ago (last week) Lauren of Improbable Fiction went on a cruise with her family. This is the (as promised) detailed list of her travels. This is day one.
We arrived at the airport fairly early but that is okay because I do love to people watch and there were definitely some [...]

If Only…

Mother: “So my question is, what do we do if your blood tests come back negative?”
Me: “We go to Dr. House”
Mother: “Why so you can make out with him?”
Me: “Well that is just one of the perks.”

She Should Know By Now That Half the Things I Say Are Movie Quotes…

Mother: “Well Lolly, how did you sleep?”
Lauren: “On me back Mush.”

It is Weird Not Putting “BEDA” In the Title… Oh Wait, I Just Did…

A conversation during linguistics.
T.A.: “Okay, We are going to do a sample of cockney rhyming slang. ‘Don’t sit on that Tony.’ Anyone have an idea what ‘Tony’ means? Think of famous people named Tony.”
Girl in class: “Tony Montana.”
T.A.: “Uh, no. Think of a politician.”
Girl in class: “TONY SOPRANO!”
T.A.: “…No…”
[silence]
Me: *repressing laughter* “Tony Blair? As in [...]

BEDA 15: Baby It’s Cold Outside

I can’t believe we have reached the halfway point of BEDA!!
Today consisted of going to French class, eating lunch, going to Jewish American Lit, spending two hours practicing French, spending one hour translating French and then answering questions about what I just translated, going to Walmart for an umbrella, going to dinner, coming home, finishing [...]

We are f.a.m.i.l.y.

This is what happens when I enter a conversation only hearing the last few words of the previous sentence.
Mother: “…so Hamas would raid and attack the place…”
Me: “HUMMUS RAIDED AN APARTMENT?!?!?”
Mother: …blank stare…
Rubi (sister): “Yes Lauren. Hummas raided an apartment. And it only attacked when the pita was bad.”
