We make this whole "work" situation fun. :)

Wouldn't you like it if someone left you cute little pictures on your desk everyday?!  Well, it's all I have to look forward to.  Everyday I exchange little pictures with Tim (I've never met or seen Tim), who sits at my desk during the day.  I'm glad I share a desk with someone who is also a 9 year old stuck in a twenty-somethings body.  Here are a few of our post-its that make me giggle.  




Peep Show

I've officially met the love of my life....Mr. Jez (Jeremy)
This is my new favorite show.

Random people are the best source for entertainment.


So, I'm walking to my car after class and I overhear two people behind me talking..... 
Guy, "Would you like to get lunch sometime?"
Lady, "No"
Guy, "You don't think getting lunch sounds nice?"
Lady, "No, I don't want a disease."
I couldn't help but to turn around and laugh.  This girl was utterly repulsed by this guy and I'm sure me laughing at him didn't help the situation any.  
Made my night.
I should have told him to take off that stupid pinstriped hat that he probably thought he looked sooo awesome and stylish in...and to stop being a raging douche.

Could you be this boring...I mean dedicated?

One Is the Loveliest Color
Commitment? Art project? OCD?  Five New Yorkers who wear only one color all day, every day (and it's not black).
Valeria “ValBlu” McCulloch (Blue)
Rebecca Turbow (Gray)
Karim Rashid (White/Pink)
Elizabeth Sweetheart (Green)
Stephin Merritt (Brown)

This is so weird to me! However, I'm obsessed with things that have tons of color or that's rainbow.  Is that similar to being obsessed with just one color? These guys are a little more extreme than I could ever be.  I mean, EVERYDAY SAME COLOR? Ugh...how boring.

~This really made my day!~
~Aren't they pretty??~


A Town Called Panic (Panique au village)

This was such a clever little movie.  
If you have ADD you'll love it! haha!


Hilarious and frequently surreal, this stop-motion extravaganza has endless charms and raucous laughs. Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series, A Town Called Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse, who share a house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to give Horse a homemade barbecue backfires when they accidentally order 50 million bricks. Whoops! This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures. With panic a permanent feature of life in this papier-mâché burg, will Horse and his equine paramour—flame-tressed piano teacher Madame Longray—ever find a quiet moment alone? A non-stop whirlwind of inspired silliness that will leave you smiling.

Happy Valentine's Day

Love,
Your Favorite Valerie

The 7 Somewhat United States of Facebook

Peter Warden, a former Apple engineer, likes to analyze data — so much so that he started scraping public profiles and photos from hundreds of millions of Facebook accounts about a year ago, and now has data collected from more than 200 million around the world. He wrote a fascinating post recently on his personal blog about what that data shows about how interconnected (or disconnected) users in the various American states are. The graph below is reprinted from that post.
In a nutshell, Warden’s data analysis showed that Facebook users in the U.S. can be roughly segmented into seven regions, which he named facetiously:
  • Stayathomia: This belt’s defining feature is how near most people are to their friends, implying they don’t move far.
  • Dixie: Like Stayathomia, Dixie towns tend to have links mostly to other nearby cities rather than spanning the country.
  • Greater Texas: Unlike Stayathomia, there’s a definite central city to this cluster, otherwise most towns just connect to their immediate neighbors.
  • Mormonia: The only region that’s completely surrounded by another cluster, Mormonia mostly consists of Utah towns that are highly connected to each other, with an offshoot in Eastern Idaho.
  • Nomadic West: The defining feature of this area is how likely even small towns are to be strongly connected to distant cities; it looks like the inhabitants have done a lot of moving around the county.
  • Socalistan: LA is definitely the center of gravity for this cluster. Almost everywhere in California and Nevada has links to both LA and SF, but LA is usually first.
  • Pacifica: Tightly connected to each other, it doesn’t look like Washingtonians are big travelers compared to the rest of the West, even though a lot of them claim to need a vacation.


Guy Posts His Sister’s Dick Sucking List To Facebook… And Tags All The Guys

This is seriously the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! ~Thanks Alex!!~

A girl named Katie found a twelve-pack of beer in her teenage brother’s room and ratted him out to their parents. This is not news in any way, but what young Chris, the brother, did in retaliation after being grounded for three months is funny as hell… and so, so wrong…

Not only did he rummage through Katie’s things and find her “hookup list” (aka “blow-jobs-to-hand-out list”), but he published it on his Facebook page…
…and tagged all of the intended recipients.


"Russell - He ate me out. Awesome!"
"Brian - Only kiss. If he cuts his hair I might give him a blow job"

No one makes my heart smile more than my sexy sea biscuit!



The Verve Pipe: A Family Album (Sayyyy Whhhhaaa?)

DC Cab

For those of you that don't know, I'm unnaturally obsessed with 80's movies.  This does NOT beat The Breakfast Club but it is one of my new favorites!  I have so many new quotes now!  

"Albert don't have no political convictions. He's an American!"

Haha! Greatness!


Nebraska is calling...but I still don't answer.

As I wait for a friend to attempt to get here through all the snow, I decide to play 4 differences.  Randomly, this picture shows up.  If this isn't a sign that I should probably go home soon, I don't know what is.  This reminds me of a quote that I had on my wipe board a while back (yes, I have a wipe board that I write quotes on in my room lol).  "When you live your life with the appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities."


~Really, I just miss Wade.  The End.~






Adams Morgan: The Movie

I never thought they would make an ADAMS MORGAN--THE MOVIE! haha! I look forward to seeing this!
Adams Morgan: The Movie is a romantic comedy that takes place over the course of Halloween Weekend in Adams Morgan. The story follows the actions of three couples: Richard and Shelby, who are a happily married but somewhat bored couple; Tonya and Lance, who are breaking up after nine months of dating; and John and Audrey, who are going out on their first official date after having intimate relations at a party the previous evening. The story is character based and dialogue driven, with each of the main characters, their friends and the quirky inhabitants of Adams Morgan, offering their opinions and commentary on relationships between the sexes.

People you never thought you'd be thankful for.

About four months ago someone wrote me an email that completely changed my way of thinking.  I disliked this "stranger" for all the wrong reasons yet she helped me move forward from one of the most depressing situations of my life.  Funny how life works out ay?  
~Thank you! Because of you the way I feel these days can best be described in the picture below.~


Rainbow Pancakes?!! aaaamazing :)
