be brave.

however you are choosing to spend your holiday, remember this..

be brave.

and, if you're me, spend as much time as possible in your pjs while watching way too much hgtv {but that's besides the point}. 

{i love this song and the video is just perfect. i couldn't help but share the goodness.}

in the spirit of rebecca black, turkey, and the canadian "eh"...

i present to you....

 

pure holiday gold.

nicole westbrook, i am thankful for you.

and your parents, who clearly have too much money on their hands.

Meme Proposal | Tim * Audrey from Crazy Monkey Studio on Vimeo.

sweetest. proposal. ever. 

i just think we have a really strong connection...

yes. it's true.

i watch the bachelor.

and i love it.

(mostly because i get to watch it every monday night at new friend kim's house and she cooks me dinner.)

don't judge me.

i found this little gem while perusing the bachelor site on abc.com during my lunch.

you just can't find such quality television anywhere else. 

enjoy the utter ridiculousness.

ames, can i borrow your pants?

this just goes to show that no amount of awkwardness (or an odd choice of pants) can get in the way of true love.

(fast forward to 2:55 for the defining moment of my life.)

love: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

confession: i'm a sucker for strangers' love stories.

it's true.

watching these proposal videos just about made my day.

i hope you enjoy these as much as me.

i want the gold.

This is quite possibly one of the best youtube videos out there.

Enjoy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from me to you!

p.s. And to think...last year this time I was drinking beer out of a bowl in a Chinese college cafeteria.

Happy National Grammar Day!

Here are just a few of the reasons why National Grammar Day might have taken over as my new favorite holiday...

#1 Grammar Rock gets a comeback.
I could watch these videos all day long.

#2 I am reminded yet again how much I love Grammar Girl.
Yes, Grammar Girl is a real person.
She has a podcast and gives a lot of great tips.
I suggest you go here for an unparalleled conglomeration of activities to celebrate today.
Knowledge is power, people.

They even sell AMAZING t-shirts like this.
(My birthday is May 20th and you know I would sport this shirt proudly.)

#3 The internet helps me see that I'm not alone.
There are others who cringe when they see things like this
(and not because of John McCain).


#4 I find grammar blogs!
The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar
The Afternoon Nap Society

#5 Lastly, I watch ridiculous music videos that put me even further on the margins of society.

I hope you find a way to celebrate the wonder that is National Grammar Day!

facebook is ruining the world.
