Overheard at the Co-Op
For all of you non-New Yorkers, there is this stupid place called the Park Slope Food Co-Op in Brooklyn. It’s been around for decades, and members are required to put in a few hours per month working there in order to be able to buy groceries. There are about 15 full time employees who manage the members and do other stuff. Everyone there is really smug and if you don’t bring your...

Rock Bottom is Pretty Awkward
So um…like twice a year when I’m between paychecks I have to scramble around my Turkish apartment turning over couch cushions and collecting up random currencies to pay the bills.
10 UK pounds from my trip to London two years ago? YES!
5 Euros from a friend’s wedding last year? SCORE!
80 bucks from the last time I was in the states? OH BOY!
4,500 Kenyan Shillings from...

This is really a story about beanie babies.
When our friend V was about fourteen years old, her parents bought a new house about five minutes away from the house she’d grown up in. It took a few months for the old house to sell and her parents left behind a bunch of stuff in the old place to make it look “homey” and more attractive to potential buyers. V’s older sister used this opportunity to have BOY/GIRL HANGOUTS...

MY GREATEST FEAR →
As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, my greatest fear in the world is the thought of people posting on my facebook after I’ve died. Or having my last tweet “immortalize” me. That’s why I, and I encourage everyone else, to find a buddy to IMMEDIATELY DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET after I’ve passed.
caroline, you still know all my pwordz?

Viva Brazil!
I’ve waited a really long time for this…
25 years, to be exact.
My dad’s Brazillian, and when I was younger my brother and I would beg him FOREVERRRR to get us citizenship. He looked into it recently and said we were too old since you can’t get it after you are 18 and he should have done it earlier and..whoops!
Recently they overturned that law and decided that...
Jellyfish - "IMMA GIT YOU!"
Last night I watched a wonderfully terrifying new show on the Discovery Channel. It was called “Rise of the Jellyfish” and it was amaaaaazing. The gist of it was that for reasons unknown, but possibly the coming apocalyse, jellyfish are increasing in numbers and will soon become our new overlords. If you think that I am sounding overdramatic, you need to watch this show because they...
