What I REALLY Want for Christmas
A pet. Preferably a dog, but would also take a cat, chinchilla or hedgehog.
My own apartment, so I have room for a pet. And a bed larger than a twin-size.
A trip to Italy. Or anywhere else interesting, really. Or even someplace that’s not all that interesting.
A cool volunteer opportunity that fits with my schedule and maybe lets me help animals or kids.
To not be sad around the...

It's funny when my brother makes fun of my nose,...
Nick: Did you know Lady Gaga is a tranny?
Me: She is not a tranny, she lived in my freshman dorm at NYU. Her real name is Stefani Germanotta.
Nick: I don't even know what she really looks like.
Me: She's an Italian girl with long brown hair and a big nose.
Nick: ...Are you Lady Gaga?
Frangelico = Grandpa Love →
I tried to make a joke out of it. I e-mailed him:
Hi Grandpa,
You’re Facebook friends with my ex-girlfriend? That’s not allowed! Totally against Facebook etiquette.

Love,

British Sunday Times Writer Who Thinks New York... →

Your food sucks. It all tastes like ass until American chefs take two months to do better what you’ve spent hundreds of years sucking at.

Pep talk from my brother
Nick: You need to start doing some hobbies. It's New York City, you can do anything in the world.
Me: What are your hobbies?
Nick: My hobbies are I do whatever the hell I want. If someone asks me if I want to go do something, I do it.
