blog-iversary: a year in review

so i honestly thought when i proposed starting a blog to my good friend, that there was NO WAY it would last more than three posts, or that anyone but us would read it, or that there would be things funny enough to warrant review. and it might not actually be that funny. but in honor of the one-year birthday of filterless, a few memorable lines (to us, anyway...)

1) only people with socially stigmatizing diseases get to live fun lives.

2) i had no idea you could have an awkward silence all by yourself.

3) lesson#3: kick self for not liking the guy who tried to make the 3rd date a weekend in napa

4) i have mixed feelings on a one-street ghetto. how can something both be an oxymoron but also true?

5) i've spent the last 2 days laid up in bed, dying a slow painful death of what i can only imagine is tuberculosis.

6) whatever the reason that rcfog didn't immediately (or in the face of my amazing persistence) succumb to my adorable charm, i'm sure that i might be in more favorable standing had i not hit the bottle quite so hard. it's hard to know when alcohol switches from social lubricant to enough rope to hang yourself.

7) i feel like there's a lesson in here somewhere, but i think i'm just too hungover to see it.

8) the journey of a thousand miles begins with one plastic penis

9) i am anxiously waiting to accompany my blogmate to unitarian service, because i heard the classical music is good, and because i have a theory that unitarians are skinnier than average but have more-frequent-than-average receding hairlines and evanston-professor's-wife-ness, and i feel it's my job to scope the place for men for my blogmate while she gets her religion on.

10) in the spitty, foggy haze that characterized my drive to work this morning, double non-fat latte in hand as a monday morning self-indulgence, i got cut off by "mac dog 1," as designated by the license plate of the big-ass black sedan, driven by what i can only presume was a big ass.

11) how many adjectives do you take in your coffee? the issue at hand: whether schmoofy lattes are rendered socially acceptable when they are seasonal. is it somehow OK to order a nonfat decaf pumpkin spice latte because of its association with autumn and halloween? clearly, ordering a soy halfcaf sugar free vanilla double latte is just annoying.
