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.

What to do when you're bored-Christina

What do you do online when you're bored? Usually I go to youtube or Facebook. Sometimes, when no one's looking, I might take a peek at fanfiction.net. Recently, though, I've been browsing around Kickstarter.

Kickstarter is an amazing way for smaller businesses and people in general to gather funding for any sort of project. You put up your campaign (very simple) and people can pledge a certain amount of money. People often give out prizes for certain donations (ex. a pony if you donate $10 or more, a jackal if you donate $20 or more, etc.) The best part is that you only actually pay if the project reaches its full funding. That means that you won't donate $10 just to find out that the guy never reached the minimum and used the money for a burger. There is a certain amount of accessibility and accountability that makes Kickstarter amazing for people who want to support great ideas.

I'm thinking about posting Kickstarter projects I find interesting every now and then. Hope you enjoy and hope you support.
