My kingdom for a Megavideo password
Any of you lovely folks out there have a Megavideo password so this bored little office worker can watch WWII documentaries all day? I’d be eternally grateful. Email me at georgiaisyourfriend@gmail.com
Answers from my "what to buy on Amazon.com"...
chocolatecherrycupcakes - I’d buy books and a new lipstick, because it always makes you feel kick ass. (: [oooh! I didn’t even realize they sold cosmetics! shows you how often I shop online]
goingnumbertwo - Check to see if one of your favorite local stores accept competitor gift cards. Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA does this and it’s awesome. [this is right up my ally, and now I know...
Help an indecisive girl spend money.
A nice coworker gave me a $25 gift card for Amazon.com, and I have no idea what to use it on. I’ve been wanting to get my cats a little kitty condo, but I’ve also been dying to get this shower filter that claims to remove chlorine from your shower water…but I’d also love to buy a couple books, since I always have to give the ones I love back to the library when I’m...

They had this god awful brand called Smokes (written...
The “Press” page on our website has received quite a shot in the arm today. I’m sorry if I seem all “me, me, me” today (as if it’s any different than any other day), but this is seriously one of the craziest, most exciting days of my life. Thanks so much for all the Tumblr love, peeps!

"be here now"
Something pretty amazing and huge is happening to me tonight/tomorrow and I’m having a hard time grappling with it. Sometimes I have the bad habit of thinking about the worst possible scenario, or daydreaming things to oblivion, instead of just enjoying life. My good friend Jonah Ray just said the above phrase to me, and he’s so right. Why am I worrying about the potential negative...
WatchWhy aren’t Jake and Amir besties with Alie and myself? We’d drink McNuggetini’s all day and play spin the bottle. It would end in tears, most likely.

Mean Mrs. Healy
You’ve got to hand it to a woman who perms and dyes her hair to a big blonde mess. It acts as a calling card to everyone she meets: “I AM AN ANGRY, ABUSIVE MOTHER!”. Poor David, his mom is harder on him than the futon she makes him sleep on! This blonde bombshell is a real piece of work, thank goodness she’s leaving town. Children around Lanford are...
