| BEST OF A&A.COM 2008 BELOW! |
| BEST IMs of 2008 Keya: [she] is like the third [person] who has straight up hated on me in the past who [has] sought me out on facebook. Ash: yeah... i want no part of that . it's a web of deceit! Keya: ...but see I don't judge Facebook. I judge them. Ash: but they found you THROUGH facebook! Keya: how desperate are you for facebook friends that you would request someone you poured a beer on!? Ash: or are you outright so curious about my life that you'll fly in the face of our past history by fake-friending me? Keya: totally, People in general are a disappointment. On Facebook, they're downright appalling Ash: i think this will be my new fave im for this week Keya: heehee. good thing IM is such an exclusive medium. Ash: or else i wouldn't be on it! Keya: I like that you have scruples, even if they're totally incoherent. Ash: incoherent? or just eratically arbitrary? Keya: better word choice, but generally the same idea Ashley: skiing and PBR - two sports that are wise to be promoting increased helmet usage Nate: Pbr? Ashley: professional bull riding :-D Nate: That's the most obscure acronym I've ever heard Ashley: what??? that [madness] is on NBC on the weekends! Ashley: you work in govt and you think that acronym is the MOST obscure?? Nate: Who watches NBC on wknds? Potter: i need your opinion on what to wear on friday. i want to dress it up, but i wasn't sure if that was appropriate. Ash: omg, do NOT worry about overdressing Ash: that's the mark of true class Potter: what's the mark of true class? Ash: the mark of true class is not worrying about over dressing Potter: ahh, where did that come from? Ash: my brain. i made it up just now. |
| BEST QUOTES of 2008 "If there is a dipping behavior out there that actually offends you, then it's gotta be too much." ~Annie D., to Ash [02.14.08] "We would actually be closer friends if you would text." ~Clarissa to Annie D. [03.15.08] "It's a good thing you were born in the 20th century, otherwise I think you would have made a good political prisoner...for most of your adult life." ~Jack, fave colleague and fellow W&M grad, to Ashley [07.09.08] "It's Vidal Sassoon!" ~Anne, as Paul Mitchell walked by us at the Black-Eyed Peas show [08.27.08] "It says, 'My fashion statement is more important than the state of the country,' and I don't think it is." ~Carter, commenting on why it matters if Biden's daughter wore footless tights vs. regular tights [11.04.08] |
| What's Going On... I think people are on to me. At least 60 percent of the birthday cards I received were kitty-themed. The belated birthday email I recieved was also kitty-themed. To say that my fave birthday present was kitty-themed would be an understatement: it was a tote bag with a picture of my own two kitties on it. I will carry my other fave birthday present in it (a TUB of House dressing) when I picnic on the Ellipse after a visit to my OTHER fave birthday present, a membership to the Corcoran. (Consider this to be your thank you note, people.) Strangely, I also recieved a PediPaws (AS SEEN ON TV!) from a friend of mine. She explained the gift by saying that when she saw a commercial for it, it reminded her of me. Why?? I asked. Because there were cats in it. That was her only explanation. Of course, this is from the girl who thinks that I should be able to do riverdance because I have red hair. But all of this in the aggregate, while it should beg the question, "Am I a crazy cat lady?", instead simply makes me sublimely happy. Kitties everywhere! Nuzzles for all! LOLcats across America! Though I still think that just to be on the safe side I should state for the record that I'm not interested in receiving a subscription to Cat Fancy for my next birthday or anything. I still prefer to be have Vanity Fair when I nestle in to my cat-tapestried pillows for a good read. [happenings archive] |
| BEST MUSINGs of 2008 ALSO, if any of you remember what we did for Annie D.'s 24th birthday in 2004, I'll buy you a chaiiiii. We're pretty much trying to piece together that entire year... When asked where our husbands were, Adrienne declared, "We don't need boys." To which Jen's mother-in-law replied, "You must be Jen's friends..." I mean, Rooker should really hate me because, not only did I get the MINI, but I stomped on her foot so hard last weekend that it gushed blood. Silently judging is better than judging out loud. There are exceptions to this, of course. The corollary is that if you're going to be out-loud judging, make sure you're not wearing orange lipstick and gaucho pants. |
