The Night Before Christmas: Jersey Shore Edition
shiningstar:
Merry Christmas, Tumblr Folk! Apparently I have nothing better to do with my time than to write a Jersey Shore version of the classic Christmas poem, The Night Before Christmas so I thought I’d share it with you. Happy holidays, everyone!

What does it take to capture the heart of a seasoned man? What must a woman possess to interest you?
A seasoned man? Seasoned? Fair enough. OK, well, switching to first person…I’m done with games, done with drama. I think sincerity wins the day for me. I’m not here to save anyone; those days are over. Are you an emotional debit card? Go away, dip yourself into someone else’s...

Do you and the pork and beer guy know each other in real life? we haven’t met in person but we communicate almost daily online.

I really hope Matt adds the title of “pork and beer guy” to his business cards…

Our holiday party is after work today and it’s at a restaurant just feet away from my office so I’m obviously just sticking around here until it starts. I didn’t have time to curl my hair this morning before work, but I want to look cute for the party so I brought my iron with and figured I’d just do it right before I left for the Dane. Well, I don’t have a mirror...

sleep paralysis is the scariest fucking thing.
natface:
It’s so hard to describe to people who’ve never experienced it. I, thank God, haven’t had it in a long ass time but Christ. Imagine you’re having a nightmare, and then you wake up, and YOU ARE STILL IN IT. Like you can still see stuff from your nightmare just hanging out, and you are (usually) on your back and looking up UNABLE TO MOVE.
Shudder.

I Need Advice

Grocery shopping is a constant battle for me.
I’m limited to $50/week and that includes stuff like food, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, etc.
Generally, I do all my grocery shopping at Target. Good deals, nice environment, and excellent multitasking opportunities. But my grocery bags at target are generally filled with frozen pizzas and cans of spaghetti-o’s.
Yesterday, I realized...

They can’t recognize the sound of dial-up, they hear “Baby One More Time” and say “It’s the song from ‘Robots’,” but they know about climate change and how to download music to their cell phones. Yes, they are 9-year-olds just coming to understand the absurd decade they were born into....

Yesterday was my boyfriend's 25th birthday party. He was a little bit overserved, so when his brothers and I got back to his apartment, he needed some help getting ready for bed. I was trying to get him to set down his glass of water so I could take off his dress shirt, but he resisted. The following convo ensued...
BF: Species have died out from lack of water. That's how the dinosaurs died... they were really thirsty.
Me: How was there a lack of water on the Earth back then, yet there is still an abundance of water now?
BF: They didn't have any cups.
