i'm about to be so drunk.
that is all.
QUESTION
how am i supposed to sleep when i’ve just discovered scrabble for my iphone?
last night
i had a sleepover.
at my grandma’s house.
with my cousins.
and we stayed up till 5 am.
talking.
and eating donuts.
and sprite.
and chips and salsa.
i felt 14, not (almost) 24.
it’s been nice to regress,
have a week or two off from work.
rewind.
relax.
spend some time much needed time,
with people i hardly see.
it wasn't me
the christmas cookies and mini snowman cakes are now gone.
the dog was the only witness.
Please. Send. Help. Must. Stop. Eating.
(via damselesque)
chinese food. turkey. stuffing. penne vodka. two slices of pizza. one “mini” snowman cake. frosting. sprinkles. christmas cookies.
uhhhhhh.

What’s the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?
I waited until Christmas morning to answer this question. Normally I’d say the drum set that I received as a Christmas gift (six months after Christmas, but awesome nonetheless). But this morning my parents gave me a huge chunk of change so that I can go to Europe. So right now…as of this moment…that is my...
what up CHRISTMAS
Santa hat: On!
Reindeer underwear (TMI? TOO BAD): on!
Special Christmas socks: on!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Christmas Tradition
Last night was the traditional “wrap your presents and get your shit together before the family comes over tomorrow” night at the Bergin household. And like every year before, I bitched and moaned about wrapping gifts until my wonderful younger sister Kristie did it for me.
This year it took some physical abuse in the form of an empty roll of wrapping paper but she eventually did a...

What’s your favorite song?
Entire Hanson catalog aside, I’d have to say my favorite song is probably “Re: Stacks” by Bon Iver. Or “In An Aeroplane Over The Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel. And Hanson. Yeah. Just Hanson.
Ask me anything
I'm officially bored at work, and I have to wait...

Likewise. But instead of bored at work, I’m bored at home, in my bed, trying not to breathe out of my mouth.

ugh.
“You’re not…a shining example of normalcy.”
– My dad
SO!
I finally get out of bed, put on real pants, brush my teeth, put on a hat (in lieu of brushing my hair), put on a BRA and go to work.
I get here. Cough once.
Sneeze twice.
And then everyone yells at me for coming in and possibly infecting the office!
So. I think I’m going to go home soon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS OFFICE.

Because I like to live dangerously
I ate all my meals in bed today. Including popcorn chicken slathered in buffalo sauce with a side of blue cheese! AND I DIDN’T EVEN SPILL.
dear body,
we need to have a little chat.
tonight is big.
everyone is going to be there.
from out of town.
from california.
from NEW JERSEY.
so.
we need to get back on track here.
this coughing?
gotta stop.
this wheezing?
unattractive.
this slight fever?
NOT COOL, DUDE.
so let’s try to work these kinks out before 4:00.
i’ll hit you up with some gatorade and bagels and...
Wherein I wax poetic about 2009
This year has been a real challenge, a step forwards and one back in so many ways. A significant relationship ended and short term love became something I understood, could grab on to and remember later. I made decisions and I worked hard some days and was lazy others. I met people, friends who changed my life and became family. I listened to one song, fifty two times in a week. I moved in and out...
Top Ten Reasons To Love Lauren Farmer
Homegirl’s pretty awesome.
(I gave this to her the other night, so it’s not creepy.)
1. She’s cool. Like, cool-cool. She even likes good music.
2. She has really nice teeth! Like, weirdly nice. Like I don’t want to smile around her because her teeth are so nice and remind me of my failed adventures in orthodontia.
3. She also has nice hair. I mean it always looks good....
things i've said today due to hangover
1) i’m dying
2) i’m dead
3) i think i’m not alive
4) someone help me
5) someone shoot me
6) i hate christmas
7) this hangover is jesus’ fault
8) stop telling me to stop blaming jesus
9) kill me.
10) i’m gonna puke.
Fact:
When I walk down the street with music blaring through my headphones, I sometimes pretend I’m starring in the movie of my life.

inside/outside
lately.
lately.
lately i’ve been feeling worse.
i’ve tried to ignore it.
blame it on stress.
pretend it’s okay.
because the outside doesn’t match the inside.
because the pain does not match the happiness.
and i try.
i try to let it go.
to live for the weekends, to wake up early.
to see my city.
but it hurts my wrists to type and my body is noisy
and my feet are...

MTV RUINED MY LIFE.
I used to say I was from the Jersey Shore.
Now I’ll say that I’m from an area near the beach in a south state of New York.

On February 26th, 2008 I made a post announcing my at-the-time tumblr crushes. I was just a tumblbaby back then. It was well before I knew anyone other than yourdp was reading or would ever read my blog.
They were: mark / ian / stefan / anthony / josh / tyler / patrick / vinny
Heading into two years later, I now know (in real life) all but two of these lovely gentlemen. I would consider...
Wherein I learn about Bartering
Me: I'll trade you brunch for that gift card
Him: Hahahaha. If you're really willing to buy me brunch, I can give you the AE gift card
Me: This what it must have been like to barter back in the old days! Except instead of pigs for daughters, it's generic clothing for alcohol!
Just another day at the office...

Me: Are you planning on leaving work before 7:30? Work BFF: I don’t know. It depends on the pounding of my head and the pain in my heart.
This sounds like me and MY work BFF!
And then we each pop a Xanax and expense dinner!
AND BECAUSE THE DAY COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE
There was a hair in my oyster crackers! A black one! Which means IT’S NOT MINE! Because although I have multicolored hair from years of abuse, black is not one of them!
WORST THING IS THAT I STILL AM GONNA FINISH THE CRACKERS BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY THING I’VE BEEN ABLE TO EAT ALL DAY DUE TO RAGING HANGOVER.
The End.
today might be fucked
but at least i look good in hats.
Today is brought to you by the letter "F"

For “fucked.”
I hate today.

one hundred and eight days ago i struggled with the dissolution of a friendship, a curveball thrown at me when i had started feeling like i had enough fucking curveballs, especially during this summer, this summer that everything happened. this summer i spent days and days in hospital beds, allowed my relationship to finally die, sweated through the L train and watched my mother spiral down a path...
True Story
It’s been an insanely busy day at work, not at helped by the fact that I’ve been spending a good chunk of time composing emails to various friend/coworkers—friends because now they are, because it’s been a year now and we’ve worked, drank and sat together and wondered if we were going to be fired or if it was late enough to order free dinner. (Which, at this hour, it...
You've Got Mail (1997)
meaghano:
And really, email does seem to be a lot of what this movie is about. Or that Moment of email. Here was something new we hadn’t figured out yet, hadn’t discussed the ramifications of in conferences yet, because we were too busy doing the damn thing. We were still in love with email and no one had yet developed careers out of solving the problem of it. There were no listicles. In the...
