White girl: I find that women from other races tend to be very, very ugly or very, very hot. There's not much in between. Whereas white women are usually not very hot or very ugly but fall in the middle.

White Girl: No, I think I'm right. I've talked to other people and they all agree with me.

a child’s Christmas in Forest Park →
The thing I like about spending Christmas with Joe and Jacinda and Jacinda’s family is that I feel like family, too. I’d always feel guilty about wanting to spend Christmas with them, but who wouldn’t?

I hate it how
sleeplessinsouthie: every wife/girlfriend on House Hunters and Property Virgins makes the same “Well, this closet will be big enough for *my* clothes, honey. Ahahaha!” Somebody’s reading my mind.

…I’ve spent my entire day in a gray short-sleeved t-shirt and black stretchy pants. Of course, then I see that angelonfire is now following me and I think “Oh crap, I just knew I should have dressed better today.”
