I couldn't stay in the city any longer, I just couldn't...Escaped to Quogue for 2 days of bestever.

Every time I head to Kat's country house, I am like a Fresh Air FUnd kid, basically. We went to a farm to pick our own berries and they had some animals and I was like..THAT'S WHAT TURKEYS LOOK LIKE? WTF?

It's a whole new world out there.

You know what rules? Eating a strawberry you picked yourself and it's all warm from the sun. THAT. RULES. Look at me up there. SO PSYCHED! Def ate twice as many as we put in the box, whoops.

KATIEBERRY

BUNNICULA

You know who else loves strawberries? This crazy ass bunny. He had a serious case of BERRY FEVER. We named him Bunnicula, duh.

BEST LUNCH

I drank a Budweiser barefoot while we drove to a farmstand. We cooked thangs all weekend and I now have a dangerous addiction to rhubarb. 

Most important thing: Upon learning that me, Kat, and his mom all have beaus who are younger than them, 8-yr-old Thomas (a genius, clearly) declared: "I know why. Because younger boys know that older girls are H-O-T-er!"

CORRECT, THOMAS.

CORRECT.

A VERITABLE DOOGIE HOWSER, THIS ONE.

My nose is sunburnt.

good company

You take the good, you take the bad.

laters for you, oh nine

All I remember about last NYE was that Brendan did the Single Ladies dance and Ivan played the Seinfeld theme song at midnight. Other than that it was a wash, but the best thing about New Year's ( I guess) is that there is always another one! Tonight I shall tip my champs to another year past, and be thankful for the great friends that I have.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you for reading my rants and obsessions and commenting and emailing and being completely better than best. I resolve to still be a weirdo in 2010, if you resolve to still be awesome. Deal? Deal.

So...what's your resolution? Tell me! Lemme live vicariously through you.

you'll eat raw fish but you won't accept a guy's TONGUE in your MOUTH?

Thank JEEBUS I am at an age when things like First Kisses and Losing Your Virginity are just the stuff sentimental moments & hilaritymaking. That being said, I love to discuss those sentimental moments all the time, often.

Let's talk about them, a lot, to everyone. Cmon! You know you want to!

Marisa Meltzer & I are making a one-off zine about first kisses called, naturally, FIRST KISS. And we want to hear about yours.

Send us the story of your first kiss. It can be as long or as brief as you like, but we'd love to know things like where you were, with whom, what you were wearing, what song was playing in the background, if it was a good kiss, how it happened, any emotional fallout, etc. We hope you'll want to use your name, but you don't have to.

Email your submissions by January 31st to mslightning@gmail.com and/or mnmeltzer@gmail.com
Kisses,
Elizabeth and Marisa
 
Hottest First Kiss of all time (or any kiss, for that matter):
 

 
My teenage dream First Kiss (my real one was in 7th grade and so not dreamy):
 

 
This one would've be pretty great too (without having to have my brother die in Vietnam, that is):

I actually found glasses I like! On MY OWN FACE..this never NEVER happens.

 

All thanks to Jordan & Erik at Silver Lining Opticians. Kinda can't wait to get them back! I haven't worn glasses on the regs since 7th grade. But my eye doctor says I'm suffocating my eyeballs fro VANITY and SO...time to try something new (just more often, not ALL the time).

Bigger better post on Silver Lining & dope shades to come next week. Hopefully I will get these glasses with my actual nerd scrip in 'em back soon. Let's see how stoked I am then (coke bottle alert).

Happy Birthday, Marie Antoinette ! Happy Day of the Dead, Mexico ! Happy full moon, werewolves and the criminally insane!

Oh and...
It's my birthday, today?

How did that happen?
Another year older (ew), not too sure about wiser.. (Eh, overrated.)

I can unequivocally say that the past 365 days have been unlike any other in my entire life.
The biggest ups and downs and sad and happy and crazy and fun and carefree and worrisome and exciting moments of my life so far, TRUESTofFAX.

I can't decide if I am sad to see it end or relieved to put it behind me...mabes a bit of both?

Well anyway.
Here's to SCORPIOS, the sexy assholes of the zodiac.
I intend to have a pretty good day.

i'm crazy for you, blog

i have missed the hell out of you my darlings and that is truestfax..i hate not blogging on the regs, and i hate that that sentence is really true. (NERD)

check it:
we had a day of free time on saturday!
it was basically devoted to sleeping in and then it took about 400 hours to walk to the tate modern (and about 400 more hours to navigate it. NEGATIVE POINTS FOR FLOW, ENGLISH MUSEUM PLANNER BRAHS.) and it was HUMID and a little bit ICKY but we POWERED THROUGH. all in the name of ART.



there is a ruscha ROOM. dopeness.
the top left is an all time favorite, obvs



the tate is the only museum i have been to that devotes so much space (or any?) to fluxus artwork. as a certified yoko ono lovah/aesthetics nerd, it's pretty exciting.



m/m paris posters..superhuge and pretty fucking cool I R Lz.



there is also a jeff koons room, or did you already know?
it's obscenely reflective, if you were wondering.
see...I STILL EXIST!
i know this blog in the past week has not supported that argument.

things are gonna be back to norms soon enough...
one more day in londontown..and then it's back to bikes and beers and layers in july. (i miss portland!!! i really do...what does that mean?)

obligatory reality bites reference!

i am in love.
it is neon orange with grey splatter paintz.
it cost me 40 bones.



i am still nervous to ride a bike in major traffic you guys, i get scurrrrrred.
who cares, it's DOPE.
i was like, it's PRETTY, it GLOWS!
jill was like, mmkay let's see if the brakes actually work, you freak.
WHO CARES! it's SO BRIGHT!

look, it's so me:



yay, FRIENDS FOREVER!

speaking of which:
