I just walked into my kitchen to see a mouse sitting in my frying pan on the stove.
I did the sensible thing and promptly yelled, “Holy fuck!”.
My course of action immediately proved to be the correct one, as the mouse scurried away behind the oven. I will assume that he will remember my display of dominance and shall never come back. Clearly I have won. No further action required.

I think what Elephant 6 meant for us is very simple: there’s something pure and infinite in you, that wants to come out of you, and can come out of no other person on the planet. That’s what you’ve got to share, and that’s as real and important as the fact that you’re alive. We were able, at a really young age, to somehow protect each other so we could feel that. The world at large, careerism, money, magazines, your parents, the people at the rock club in your town, other kids, nothing is going to give you that message, necessarily. In fact, most things are going to lead you away from it, sadly, because humanity is really confused at the moment. But you wouldn’t exist if the universe didn’t need you. And any time I encounter something beautiful that came out of a human somewhere, that’s them, that’s their own soul. That’s just pure, whatever its physicality is, if the person can play piano, if they can’t play piano, if they’re tone deaf, whatever it is, if it’s pure, it hits you like a sledgehammer. It fills up your own soul; it makes you want to cry, it makes you glad you’re alive, it lets you come out of you. And that’s what we need: we desperately need you.

I would first like to note the weirdness of anonymously asking if I will be attending something. My answer to your question is potentially giving you my exact physical whereabouts at a future date, and I have no idea who you are or why you want this information.
That said, I’m 22 and invincible so yes I will be at VidCon.

Seconded.
Someone just knocked on my door. Which is significant to me because in the year and a half or so I have lived here there have been maybe 2 people to knock on my door, and both times it was a scheduled thing that I was expecting. So this is the first time in my adult life of living in my own place that I received an unexpected knock on my door. Immediate thoughts went something like, “Oh shit, oh my god, someone’s knocking. Wait is that my door? Yes that’s my door. Oh my god. What do they want? Who is it? What did I do?”
Seconds later I opened the door and it was a dude with a package. He asked if Veronica(or some female name starting with a “V”) lived here. I said no. He read me the address on the package, and I told him that was not my address but it was only off in the last digit so he must be close. Probably a house or two down the street. Then he walked off and I shut the door.
PHEW. Really dodged the bullet on that one. I’m so relieved I lived through my first unexpected door knocking.
Yesterday I was at the dollar store and they had discount Valentines Day candy. That’s right, we’re already talking about the dollar store and then it was discounted on top of that. So I bought a bag of conversation hearts and a pack of only red and pink Starbursts for 50 cents each. And then I bought a normally priced thing of Oreos except they aren’t Oreos they are some dollar store knock off. Anyway, just now I made myself a plate of dessert consisting of generous servings of all 3 items and it looked kinda nice on the plate so I took a picture of it thinking I’d upload it to tumblr but then after I took the picture I thought to myself, “This is dumb, it’s just a picture of food. Tumblr doesn’t need more pictures of food, no one needs to see this. What am I trying to say? Look at me and the crap I eat!! No, I’m not posting this.” So then I deleted the picture and am now eating the aforementioned dessert while I type this post.
The following is a string of youtube comments I just received. 11 of them. From a single person. He’s done this kind of brilliant stuff before, but here I feel he has reached a new plateau in youtube comment quality and should be recognized for it. I have posted the 11 comments below and edited them together for readability.
Warning: This comment (or these comments) is mostly unrelated to the video as a whole. Also their fucking long.
Now, given that there was no “Commenter of the Year” award this year, I took the duty upon myself to calculate who has won… THE COMMENTS. First let’s start with those who one the comments once, but never came back to reclaim the honor: ceetor1110, RayOfSunshine355, justinhabit, MrFictive, andyglovertalks, Justtubed, bonjourelisa, iLeaveYouWithHugs, evmoneytv, bananabananza, johnetie, Od294, gunitBC, genericfirstname, videobloggery, toadroll, feclessman, wolfganggangwolfe, jbdazen, TopHatKitty, mymarblesandme, radionthestadiar, BlakesNo1, mommamia, itsamemyleo, alongcamesara, likeomfgrawr, ProjectFutureSelf.
Now then, the third placers, or the bronzers, or the one less than second placers… I think you get the gist. These men & women had the beloved, ‘winner of yesterdays videos” beseeched upon them twice. This, is a much more selective group of commenters then previous, they worked hard, and deserved it.
Coralinehope. Winning the videos “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” and “Strawberryfire”. She also makes cool videos. Check her out.
Taylahboone, on “YouTube” and “Chord Faces”. She made a video making duck noises once. Check that out.
Cateematthews on “Education” and, “Tom’s Got a Turtle”. Again, she makes cool videos.
Lonesome Major with, “The Sturgis” and another video which I can’t seem to find. Please accept my apologies.
Now assuming that both “Lauradidtheastro” and “Lauragonewhenanddonethatastro” are in fact just alter egos of the one and only, “LauraDoestheAstro”…LauraDoestheAstro. Winning “It’s Cool” and “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. Now if you haven’t watched her videos, shame on you.
Becoming even more selective now, we come to the second placers, or “the silvers,” or the one les— we don’t need to do this again do we? These two winners have, of course, won. But not only twice, not four times, but three times. Did I do that wrong? I don’t know. But let’s move on.
RatherBeSmiling, with his/her cheerful user name and, what we can only assume as being a cheerful demeanor, she been the Commenter of “An Assortment of Sorts”, “Internet Etiquette”, and “Microlulz”.
The other in this category is me but we can ignore that and go on to the FIRST PLACE WINNER!
Here we are, the pinnacle. This man has (let’s assume “has” was in italics) won five times, and he deserved it too. Not only does he make hilarious remarks such as, “You spelt, ‘Pffft’ wrong” on the video entitled, “Pfft.” or “I don’t get it. What does it mean? It’s hard to tell sometimes whether you’re being serious or joking!” on “VID00002” mocking those who make these sorts of comments on ThePeter’s videos, but he can also get serious, with his great remarks on the polluted comment section of, “Eating Animals”. Also racking in the videos “Orange Juice” and “Preparation” the winner of the Comments for the year of 2011 is….
NowWeAreAllTom!!!
Hurray! Hurrah! Oh, joy! etc… (Oh, and he makes wonderfully scrumptious videos, so you know, do it.)
Needless to say, he has the lead for 2012 by a WIDE margin. Here’s his channel, go tell him he’s a cool guy.
This video is a sample of The Chapter Titles Were So Good, A podular broadcast (or “pod cast”) chronicling the magical journey of three young men through the seven novels in the Harry Potter series, chapter by chapter.
Please feel free to share this sampler with anyone you think might like our show, or horde it to yourself like a greedy old miser. Whichever you prefer. You do what you think is right, okay?
Remember that time I went to Barnes and Noble this morning because my pre-order hasn’t arrived, and because if it does arrive and isn’t signed I’d be stupidly upset, and because I am crazy and stuff, and I stormed to the young adult section, and they only had two copies of TFIOS and neither of them were signed, so I did that thing you do when you can’t find something you want where you walk around and stare at that space several times, fully expecting, however illogically, to see something different, and then I ran back down the escalator all frantic and overwhelmed and generally acting as if someone I loved had just been shot, rather than that the first bookstore I’d visited of the many area bookstores I could try did not have a signed copy of the book I was looking for, and I circled in a panic (well, and bought a latte… panic break?) and was about to leave all crestfallen and dramaqueen-y, as is my way, when I saw a big display set up by the door, at which point I did an embarrassing little dance and grabbed a copy with the fancy “signed” sticker (not that the sticker stopped me from checking to be sure) and then raced to the counter and very nearly depleted my bank account paying for it (because of romanticized youthful poverty) and then I drove home kind of fast and a lot more excited than you would expect a person to be when they know they only have forty three cents to their name. Remember that? Well, it was all so that I could post this picture here right now and say, thank you, John; I can’t wait to dive in.
An excellent example of why your tumblr is my favorite.
“You got drunk, you flirted with him, you led him on - you paid the price.”
I’m going to try to say this as calmly and clearly as I can: THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR RAPE. Don’t you morons get it? You’re the reason this keeps happening to women (and men!). If you blame the victim, you give the culprit power; you give the rapist power. You justify his actions. You say, “It’s okay to rape girls, as long as they flirted with you first.”
You are the reason rape keeps happening. Not women wearing short skirts. Not women getting drunk and flirting. That’s not the reason that rape keeps happening. It’s happening because people like you tell rapists that it’s okay.
What the fuck has to be done before you grasp this simple-as-pie concept, you manipulative dickhead?
Actually, let me tell y’all something, in case anyone didn’t realize. I can flirt with someone and not want to have sex with them. I can be drunk and not want to have sex with someone. I can even make out with someone and not want to have sex with them. And that person forcing sex on me just because I kissed him, I flirted, I was drunk, is NOT OKAY. And it’s not okay to do that to anyone else. Because, actually, kissing someone, flirting with them, drinking, is not the equivalent to saying “yes, let’s have sex.”
Obviously I agree with that.
But, I feel like a lot of girls wouldn’t agree with the implications of that.
A lot of girls make a big deal out wanting guys to read them and pick up on body language and know what they want without having to ask or be told. So I really can’t blame a guy that much for misinterpreting a girl aggressively making out with him. But it’s not like the guy just tries to have sex with her and it happens. There’s a couple steps involved in between there. At which point the girl would be able to resist or say no or whatever.
And THAT’s the problem. When the guy keeps going despite resistance. THEN he’s a dickbag.
