Restless, again.
I love when people show me something I’ve never seen, tell me something I’ve never known or even thought of, have me listen to something that utterly blows my mind. I love when people are passionate about something I haven’t yet thought to be passionate about.
Really, I just wish I could be Debussy at the 1889 World’s Fair.

“Women just aren’t as basic as men. They are often less interested in what you...”
– - The Times
Yes, yes. *cringe!* *gasp!* - I read an article in The Times. It’s mostly “bollocks!” (as they wrote), but I thought this quote hit the nail on the head.

Never came so close to crying from an xkcd comic. (via)
No, but seriously… *heartbreak*
My last thoughts for the night
…seem to be amusing, but sad little vignettes inspired and also backed by, 1) the Amelie soundtrack, 2) the feel of a bed too big for me to be sleeping alone in. Goodnight, sun. See you again in two hours. xo, M.
At the Verizon store getting my Pre! Yay!!

We really are the same person. It's crazy.
Midori: "Ben: Holy shit I am so allergic to your plant"
Bonnie: Yeah, I know.
Midori: He told you before he told me?
Midori: I feel like I should have known first, if only to tell him to give it to Cody
Bonnie: WAIT
Bonnie: HAHAHAHAHAH
Midori: what?
Bonnie:
"ben: oh my god i am so allergic to midoris plant
bonnie: :( move it
ben: where to?
bonnie: I don't know, Cody's room?"
Midori: Thank you, fill-in gf.
Bonnie: LOL
Bonnie: I mean, we're the same person.

All proceeds made on January 20, 2010 will be donated to Haiti. You get great software, Haiti gets financial help in its time of crisis.
Buy any of the software on that page tomorrow (Wednesday) and the developers will donate the proceeds to charities for Haiti relief. (Huge thanks to Justin Williams and Garrett Murray for organizing this.)

The right music was on, the moment was pure - it was time to recreate Chuck’s season 2 yogurt shop (Orange Orange) at Red Mango.

Please do these. Every time a disaster of this magnitude hits, I realize how lucky I am to have what I have — and how much we are connected by our humanity, our mortality, the fabric of human kindness.
Another option: Donating to Medecins Sans Frontiers here. I’ve seen some of their work first-hand (in another situation) and thought them wonderful.

"Google Gets on the Right Side of History" →
A touch optimistic/fangirl-esque, but sometimes it just feels good to be able to place your hopes in something - Even if it’s a multi-billion dollar company.

This actually makes me happy. (WSJ’s coverage of this, in general, is making me happy too.)

katyisntfunny:
Sometimes I’m not sure if the fact that I’ve become so fiercely independent in the past few years (even more so than I was as a teenager) is a good thing or a bad thing.
I know you weren’t looking for an answer, but this resonates strongly with me - I too, wonder the same exact thing.
In a way, it’s self-preserving. It’s the power of knowing you can stand on...

Woo! New layout :D
Designed by Peter Vidani and tweaked by yours truly. The yellow “discuss” tab is Disqus commenting (haha, get it? I didn’t, even after months of using Disqus). Still to come: Search, and a Twitter banner.
My favorite feature of this layout is the scrolling “Stuff I’ve liked” at the bottom of the page. It’s nice to be able to feature other Tumblr...

Breaking Up in a Digital Fishbowl →
katyisntfunny:
“One byproduct of the digital revolution is that trust is being assigned new meaning. According to the Internet and American Life Project at the Pew Research Center, one in five teenagers polled shares online passwords as a way to build trust and foster romance. Grown-ups, explained Lee Rainie, the project’s director, are exhibiting similar behavior. And it is not just women...

This would be a T-ride over to NU for ice cream night. I miss you both.
We miss you too. For now, go crash at Ben’s place and make him get you ice cream :)
(…Wait, by “both” did you mean, both me and Ben, or both me and Haagen Dazs?) :P

[company : girl] - One is a slightly larger entity...
Ben: I don't want to be like [name redacted] asking out a girl every week until one finally says yes.
Ben: [Company A] must know that they are my first and only love, forever in my heart.
Midori: You're adorable, baby.
Ben: I just need [Company A] to say no definitely.
Midori: When will they do that?
Ben: Never! I will forever be left hanging on the hope.
Ben: (sounds familiar lololol omg why are jobs like girls)

Sadface.
It’s the end of winter break! Driving back to Boston in the morning, wrapping my entire body in swaths of warm fuzzy things in preparation for the crummy, windy coldness that is Boston.
But!
Here’s where I might be in the next two months:
Indianapolis
Wisconsin
Texas
Los Angeles/Anaheim
San Francisco

it's true, my DS was never returned :'(
Ben: I have an idea: You will adopt my Wii for free.
Ben: And as such, the overall Nintendo-karma balance of boyfriends past, present, and future will be restored
Ben: I must atone for my gender since apparently the last one made off with your DS
Ben: We now owe you a nintendebt which I shall repay.
Midori: I LOVE YOU.

Bipolar ambigamy: On not admitting you're sending... →
I’m an ambigamist not just about embracing a partner but every aspect of life. I watch myself and everyone I know wrestle with the tension between open and closed, romance and skepticism, faith and reason, confidence and doubt, tenderness and protectiveness, hope and fear, transcendence and realism, generosity and caution, friendship and business. I don’t see any way out of it. I think this...
