New Decade Better Miki
2009 was a bad year. Out of all of the years, I would say that my worst ones were 1999 (bad freshman year of college, starting with a bang of an accident…involving me literally tumbling out of a car onto the highway while said car was in motion…long story). 2009 my dad went into the hospital for a pretty routine surgery involving removal of part of his colon (after quite a few...
This is Autumn. Apparently, she was a Xmas gift to someone who returned her.
It is a sad and known fact that many dogs who end up in shelters at the end of December and beginning of January are there because they were given as Christmas presents and then surrendered to shelters. Animals are not like ugly Gap sweaters. They shouldn’t be returned.
If you are looking to get a dog or a...
Xmas Gifts Like These Should NOT be returned :( →

I’m one of those people that believes if I verbalize something I want, it won’t come true. Meaning, if I tell someone “I want to attend _______ university for graduate school,” I will lose my chance of actually attending there because I said it aloud. Especially if I tell a stranger. Graduate school is making me extra paranoid.
I am sooo like this!!! Except…then I get antsy...

RSS
So, I’m going to probably sound like a silly and stupid girl (sarcasm), but I really don’t know much at all about RSS. I understand the concept, but not the mechanics behind it. I need a tutorial. Also, I don’t do directions/instructions. I learn by fiddling around with stuff, so I don’t know how to go about learning.
Maybe I should call Meghan Asha? No?

Chickenhead
A male co-worker asked me to define a ‘chickenhead.’
He did not know…neither did several others. Maybe it’s that I went to Brooklyn public schools, but I thought that everyone over the age of 12 knows the meaning of a chickenhead.
In any event, I told him to Google it.
If there’s one lesson that I’ve learned in my 28 years on this planet, it’s that you should never ever
interoffice mail yourself anything. You will never get it.

I keep having this recurring dream that I am still in school (usually it’s law school, last night, oddly enough, it was undergrad) and that finals are coming up and I haven’t read a single page of any of my text books and that I haven’t done a single assignment. Half of me is nervous and filled with dread. The other half of me doesn’t give a shit and thinks that I can...
Kids Say the Darndest Things
On the Q train yesterday, these little 9 year olds were talking about what Santa will bring them. So, it is safe to say that they still believe in Santa Clause.
These same children then bust out singing (in chorus), “blame it on the vodka, blame it on the Henny, blame it on the a a a a a alcohol.”

New Year's Eve Options
1) Bff’s house party at her parents’ place (more room than her current residence) where I will be Bridget Jones (the only singleton in a room filled with smug marrieds—imagine me saying this in my adorable British accent)
OR
2) Being a lazy lemming and going to where my friends want to go…one of those lame-o parties where you have to pay the low low price (ha) of $115 (by...

Is It Wrong?
That what I most look forward to this evening is a new episode of Teen Mom on MTV?
Is this really what my life has become? Yikes bikes. I sure hope things change for the better with my romantic life because girl needs to be cuddling up to a warm male body…watching Teen Mom on MTV :)
Shit, ok, I admit that I am way picky, but I know what I like and my pickiness is not in looks or other...

One year ago today I met my boyfriend. At a tumblr meet-up. We’re headed back to the place of our meeting one year ago tonight to celebrate a super happy, amazing year.
Anyway, thanks tumblr for giving me some really fabulous friends and the sweetest guy ever :) Awww, I know.
Aww, congrats!!! This is a wonderful story that gives hope for the wretched cynics like moi.

I know I’m up too late when all of the commercials for Interactive Male come on the screen.
Yes, I even made a little pun. So what?

Setting: last night in parents' tv room.
I was feeling particularly hyper and started choreographing a dorky little white girl dance. It looked like I was a cross betweeen the worst Riverdancer ever and Larry David in new sneakers.
Maddy, my dog: blink. blink. blink (in disbelief). Thought bubble: Miki is cray cray.

My Mom (to Maddy): Don't worry Maddy, there's medicine for that.
