Collegiate #1: I can't believe that asshole MTA called the cops on us.
Collegiate #2: Seriously, isn't it enough that we risked our lives crossing the subway tracks to get to the other side? Fuck that guy, we wasted $2.00 and then had to take a cab to escape the police.

i don't normally wear lipstick (or make-up. diega's a freak) but lancome has this amazing (natural-looking) lipstick called gliding magenta (ata) that's pretty nice. it's also really expensive. so no, i can't justify it to myself. haha

i want this ring so badly!

her shoes. i want her shoes. steph, where the heck do we find these shoes??? (got these in grey!)

necessity buy: my laptop has been out of commission ever since the cord died on me. :( bad trip.

a graphic novel about a girl's trip to france. it's supposed to be really good?

i want necklaces! especially the small timepieces i see a lot of.

(awww, thanks, gita!)

since i'm freakin' bored with my hair, i guess i should start doing something with it. like maybe with a blowdryer (yeah, i kinda need a blowdryer!)

i want a watch

but i want a watch with a tan wristband (obsessed with tan). maybe if i had a watch, i could tell time much faster.... hmmm, the possibilities....

for those who don't know, i didn't learn to tell time on an analog watch until i was in junior year. sad. but true. what's the point if u can check your phone for the time, get a digital watch, or if you're a lazy ass like me, ask someone else? so it takes me roughly two minutes to tell time, which is kind of stupid because by the time two minutes is over, i'll have to retell the time again because two minutes have passed. it's a sad, vicious cycle.

My name is Abbi. And I am a Gleek.

goddamn, there's a hiatus until April??? Who cares about giving them breaks! Make them work, those lazy bastards! work everyday if they have to!

P.S. i like diana agron's tumblr: felldowntherabbithole. you can pretend you're friends with them. oh my god, loser right here! hahaha

late again: happy thanksgiving? he. he?

I see this a lot in blogs... lez give it a tryyyyy:

10 things I'm grateful for:

1. the people in my life are pretty damn amazing. there are different nuts to crack but quite crackable! to translate abbi-speak to normal people-speak: the people i know are all quite different but i'm lucky enough that i'm their friend.

2. a great job that compensates me well. hahahaha. no, really. i love my job. i love oxfam. OXFAM!!!!!! take me into your permanent fold! biiiig shout-out to my obi-wan, teddy, who has quite kindly taken me in as his padawan. yes. that's how cool my job is, i am a padawan.

3. my room. wuuutttt. no, really. i will pimp my tiny cabana up it's hizzouse. i will find a mini-fridge and then i will never ever go into the main house except to see my grandmother.

4. art. i like my creative outlets. i like this blog, i like fashion, i like pretending i know how to scrapbook and adobe and gimp.

5. baking. my newfound therapy is fantastic. no, seriously! i will not reveal my sources for what i use to bake (it's all natural! i swear!)

6. baptiste is coming here. to everyone i know, he is an amazing guy. absolutely the best and i am a huge pain in the ass coz i haven't been appreciating it so much and i don't deserve him.

7. crap. am running out. hehehe. i'm grateful it's the holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need some happy happy in my life.

8. i am seriously grateful i am not yet a diabetic. i would die if i couldn't eat cookies and brownies.

9. oh yeah, how could i forget my iphone. the love of my life (blargh, kidding!). the grandkid of some other people's phones (yes, you. i'm talking to you).

i am grateful. i just down't always show it.

i am easy..

... to make happy. i kinda wish someone would just come up to me with fresh flowers they just happened to buy coz it reminded them of me or cookies and my day would be made. it'd lift this stupid sadness for a little bit.

puddle of sweetness right there

SWEETEST AD EVER!

fuck feelings

there are times when you think life is tough enough without making it harder on yourself.
and you mess up the best things in life because you're tired of how hard it is.

it's hard to understand yourself when you think that way.
but you also try to struggle with the fact that life is difficult enough as it is, and do you want to make it harder?

but. but. but.

and the struggle between wanting to make things easier for you in the short-term and knowing how the long-term is worth the wait.

honestly makes you just want to take yourself out of the picture. or someone will see that you aren't worth it? you'd rather be the one hurting than make someone else hurt coz you're a stupid git after all.

Time's 10 Questions with Tracy Morgan. Because it made me laugh out loud at work and lose my dignity.

How much does your 30 Rock character, Tracy Jordan, resemble Tracy Morgan? —Azeem Khan, Karachi
Tracy Jordan is a lovable comedian. So is Tracy Morgan, I guess. Tracy Morgan doesn't exist in Tracy Jordan. Tracy Jordan exists in Tracy Morgan. Everything they write about my character is ripped right out of the headlines. If I sneeze, next week it's in the script. So that's cool, man. I'm a 40-year-old black man. I'm from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. What do the young white writers know about me? I have to give 'em the ammo.

Are there any parts of Tracy Morgan that you wish were more like Tracy Jordan? —Alice Rodgers, Belfast
Yes. I wish Tracy Morgan had $300 million. That's about it.

How does being on 30 Rock compare with being on Saturday Night Live? —Declan Murphy, Manassas, Va.
Saturday Night Live is the hardest thing I ever did in my career. Period. If you can survive Saturday Night Live, then you're good as far as show business is concerned. My ex-wife, she was considered a widow because I was never home. You had one day off, and that was Sunday.

What are the cast members of 30 Rock like to work with? —Alex Murfey, Kansas City, Mo.
I don't know what they do when they're at home. Tina — she's a mother and a wife. We don't hang out. But at 30 Rock, everybody pretty much gets along. Jack McBrayer, we're very close, and it was an honor to be nominated [for an Emmy] in the same category with him. If he would've won, that means we would've won. If I would've won, that means I would've won. I'm not sharing my award with nobody.

How did Tina Fey react when you called her a bitch on national television? —Dean Head, Saskatchewan
It made for great television, and everybody knows unless you live on Mars that Tina Fey, she's my sister from another mother with a different color. It was just like when I told Lorne Michaels, Get me a soda, bitch!

I once saw an episode of NBC's short-lived The Tracy Morgan Show on a plane. What did you
think of your foray into the world of traditional sitcoms? —Pablo Torre, New York City
People would always ask me, Why aren't you on Saturday Night Live? Because everybody has to leave Daddy's house sometime. People say, I'm sorry your show didn't stay on television. Well, maybe if your ass woulda watched it! You know what I'm saying?

Why did you decide to write a memoir now? —Michele Herrmann, Monroe, Conn.
Because they gave me a big bag of money now! And if anybody wants to read what my life was like, fine. Cool.

What's it like growing up with a girl's name? —Mark Fleming, Dublin
I think that's part of the reason why I'm funny, because kids on the playground would make fun of my nose and my name. When kids are making fun of you in the schoolyard, you go get your big brother, and he comes back with you and he turns into the Incredible Hulk. But my oldest brother was born with cerebral palsy. So I had to develop a sense of humor.

How has having diabetes affected your comedy? —Ari del Rosario, Manila
I feel fortunate to have the disease but not have it affect me. My first season on 30 Rock, I wasn't taking the disease seriously. Then one day I got really sick. The doctor was like, "Hey, listen, we may have to take your foot." That was it for me. Now I take my insulin every day. My blood sugar doesn't get over 120.

What do you think of President Obama's winning the Nobel Peace Prize? —Chukwunwikezarramu Okumephuna, London
I think he deserves it. I think he's really trying to stop nuclear war. I love Obama. You see how cool he is? You see the way he gets off of Air Force One? He kicks that leg just like Richard Roundtree. Ain't no other countries gonna mess with us. And as far as health care is concerned, tell them to put cocoa butter on it. Those old remedies still work!

saving the environment doesn't have to be hippy-dippy

fashion doesn't have to hurt.

guerilla ad showing how much exhaust can fill up a balloon in a day.
