Girl With The Pearl Nose Ring

I simply can’t end the day knowing that I wrote an entire effing list specifically of things I hate. So here is an abbreviated one of things I like, hopefully the first edition of several to come:

1. Book reviews. 

2. Accidentally saying the same thing as someone then looking at them knowing you essentially share the same brain.

3. bracelets bracelets bracelets (nose ring)

4. elephants

5. My glasses

6. Anything to do with Spain

7. Unexpected nice texts

8. low raspy soulful voices (Grace Potter specifically in mind)

9. Writing. 

10. More in depth: making lists yee YEE

11. The Beatles/Edward Sharpe

12. High waisted anything, which brings me to the question: how many pairs of high waisted denim too shorts is too many?

13. Hearing your favorite song at a concert

14. Dancing like an idiot

15. Mary Kate and Ashley/old and new school

16. vodka tonics

17. Andy Samberg/Gerard Pique/Craig Anderson (surfer not hockey)

18. Clever tweets; clever people in general; not to be confused with the word “cleaver”

19. getting in the water after being in the sun all day

20. More importantly: getting into bed in a really cold room and snuggling way down in the sheets

Go listen to White Nights by Oh Land and get yo self happy. 

Happy Memorial Day, patriots. I’m feeling uber-pessimistic and love making lists, so in a genius combination of the two, here is a list of things I hate:

1.     Wet paper- specifically toilet paper or wet straw paper at a table

2.     Men who wear those horrifying European business shoes (usually of the pointy or extra-square toe variety)

3.     Red wine hangovers

4.     When it’s sunny and raining simultaneously. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??

5.     The question “Who are you?”

6.     The question “Why do you think you don’t have a boyfriend?”

7.     Cleaning up the mess of the murder scenes of the people who ask me said questions

8.     Voicemails- Just let it go, tekkies of the 90s. Let it go.

9.     Not being able to do something fun because you have something un-fun to do

10. The color mauve

11.  The word “mauve”

12. The name “Hortense”

13. Ventriloquist dummies/Jeff Dunham is the worst comedian in the history of planet earth

14. The fact that I suck at Instagram as a concept.

15. Putting clothes in the dryer that I meant to hang up.

16. Starting a book then realizing it’s never going to improve when you’re 2/3 through it

17. The fact that my animal in the animal game is Mr. Ratburn.

18. Listening to heinously embarrassing music on Spotify and realizing it’s showing up on Facebook (a la Scissor Sisters on extreme repeat)

19. Gory movies/action movies, by and large

20. This blog is called “Girl with the Pearl Nose Ring” and I no longer have a nose ring.

21. Overuse of the word “dude” in daily conversation (me)- ack I can’t even read this I sound like Lord of the Tools

22. The fact that after reading this list I have come to realize my true cynical /borderline misanthropic ways of life. 

LYLAS!!!!!!
