emerging from hiatus for a modest proposal

Christina and I were just exposed to this delightful video thanks to facebook.

As you can see, this is a middle school girl's guide to getting a boyfriend. In middle school. Now, this may seem silly, but this prepubescent child has exactly one more boyfriend than either myself or Christina can currently stake a claim to. We are choosing to blame this on NYU.

It seems like this girl has the right idea. She does say "if you're in high school, you probably shouldn't be watching this," but we're not in high school! Fuck! We're in college! This obviously applies to us!!!

We are contemplating setting a challenge for ourselves: follow the advice in this sage video down to the letter. Would it net us a sexy college man (not a middle-schooler)? We're desperate to know.

During our hiatus, one or both of us may act in accordance with the instructions set forth in this video. Maybe not. But if we do, we will write a follow-up post letting you know just how that went. Who knows, maybe we and the other straight females of NYU could profit off of this.

I know that I, being a consummate coward, have never really told someone that I like (LIKE-like, to use middle school parlance) them! There is in fact a good chance that this middle-school chick has balls of steel in comparison to me. As for Christina, well, she's allergic to love. And relationships. Just in general.

What do you think? Should we go for it? This could be the beginning of a new and beautiful era. Let us know what you think.

Holiday gifts for...-Christina

People you only kinda know

Amazing greeting cards from The Oatmeal with dead Rudolphs and guys crapping out butterflies. I usually hate most greeting cards. Especially the ones that sing. WTF? Crappy. super crappy. fun to take apart though. The Oatmeal greeting cards, however, will horrify people and endear yourself to their immediate enemies. Just kidding, they're hilarious and cute and extremely offensive.

Super feminine pampering people

Something cute and smelly from Lush, the purveyor of all goodcutesmelly things. Just ask Marie. Since buying some Lush shampoo she asks me to smell her hair all the time. Seriously though, get this person a bath bomb or a soap or maybe a massage bar if your friendfriends.

"Geeks" who you're jealous of cause they're super cool :D

Cute T-shirt from Tee Fury, a poster from The Oatmeal or XKCD. How can you resist these designs? And they're so nicely priced! And they help artists who are sad and alone during the holidays because their families have disowned them! It's a winwinwinwinwinwinslightlosewin

Hipster friends

Anything you've heard of they've heard of first. Anything that comes from a rundown store. Vinyl. A poster from Molly Crabapple. Maybe something cool from Kickstarter. The latest Coilhouse is always good (and rare). Handmade gifts are always a good option because they've definitely never seen your Bffl-Blaster (patent-pending) before.

Besties

Nothing. You've wasted all your time and $$ on everyone else. But hey, that's family ;)
