Day 79: After we bought this table cloth for Thanksgiving it has since acquired quite a few doodles and messages and song lyrics (such as the Space Jam song). I wish we’d done this sooner!

Day 80: Anthony and Abby demonstrate how to do the Joe dance

Tonight the club on campus,

Club Sandwich, held a Christmas themed party with the promise of snow machines.

However, much to our surprise, this fake snow was actually soap.

Soap that I am most definitely allergic to.  I left with two other Allergic Americans, and after showering and two Benadryls, I’m still very, very itchy.

I have since encountered yet another Allergic American.

Hey, Club Sandwich! Poor decision making skills on your part.

EDIT: Talked to another Allergic American.
Still itchy. 

I really love museums

but I also really hate people.

I just get angrier and angrier as any museum visit goes on.

Furthermore, I finally got to the British Museum thinking, “I’ll appreciate this more now that I’m older than I was last time.”

But I’m pretty sure I just went and saw the exact same exhibits because Ancient Egypt and Greece are really fucking cool.

Only this time I cared more about the centaurs and less about the artistic penises.

Spotted at Harrods: Rupert Fucking Grint

Rebecca and I were in the book section and she runs over to me and was like, “I WAS STANDING NEXT TO RUPERT GRINT” and grabs me and we go to follow.

We catch up when he’s getting on the escalator.

He had pulled his hood up already, but he was with his girlfriend.

I didn’t see his face, but rebecca said he looked strung out.

Then I was like,

“maybe it wasn’t him.”

But they have a Diagon Ally section in Harrods and legit, everyone was talking about it.

EVERYONE.

Apparently, he was in the furniture section and was just like, wandering,

and he came to the door to Diagon Ally, looked up, and just like, turned around and booked it.

MARY, ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS THING DOESN’T EVEN HAVE T9?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS PHONE? DID YOU STILL HAVE A BEEPER WHEN YOU BOUGHT THIS PHONE? I CAN LITERALLY ALIGN THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE WITH MY PHONE, AND IT TAKES PICTURES SO CLEAR I CAN DEPOSIT CHECKS WITH THEM. 
DOES THIS THING EVEN TEXT OR AM I JUST DIALING A 52 NUMBER SEQUENCE?
… YOU PROBABLY HAVE AN AWESOME LASERDISC COLLECTION AT HOME, DON’T YOU.

Can we just talk about how extremely awkward Simba looks in that middle photo?

We all looked pretty awkward in middle school.

OMG this is what my mouth looked like the entire time:

THESE GIRLS ARE ADORABLE.

2 Q T

(Source: thingsmakemehappy)

We live in a culture that supports the obsession with the body, food, self-improvement, and personal transformation of a physical nature. Perhaps this is why we are fascinated with eating disorders and why they have been glamorized by a media that highlights the rich and famous celebrities who have fallen in its wake. In the mainstream, we love to eat and focus on food, and yet we also condemn ourselves for engaging in this very act required for our survival. Any girl who has lost or gained weight can provide evidence that people respond more positively to thin people than to fat (more friends, more boyfriends, the kindness of strangers, etc.). The “before” and “after” pictures used to sell diet products and place, weight-loss camp, plastic surgery, and reality TV shows such as The Swan and Extreme Makeover rely on the shared assumption that our bodies are an extension of the “American Dream” — blank canvases of a meritocracy where we can pain our own dreams and achieve our goals if we devote enough hard work, money, and time to get the job done — the Puritan ethic interpreted within the culture of narcissism.
