It rings so true

"Maybe they're not interesting enough yet to want to be left alone."--E, on my freshmen

Well, of course...

(aim)

Rira: so yesterday on 6th avenue, this little skinny white kid came up to me and asked me for a couple dollars so he could buy himself a falafel, because he's vegan

nobody has ever begged me for falafel money before, so i had to give it to him

Really, it's good advice to all men everywhere....

(On aim, to brian)

MriaAsunta: yes
MriaAsunta: if you want to get in my pants, don't say the word orifice
MriaAsunta: as a general rule

Kara's away message (and btw, I concur)

If one day, I were ever to write a song.. it would not be about love, life, or any other complicated subject. It would be about coffee. *Keeping Kara awake since 2002*

We're so not talking about what you think we're talking about...

(aim)

Me: Well, I'm either popular or easy

Rainbows forever

Tom (to Rira): oh when I saw the room at your party I knew you were well diversified
I mean WOW
it was like the fucking UN in there

On discussing mutual girl crushes on Angelina Jolie with my sister...

(aim)

Shlee: sisters are more important than potential imaginary lesbian partners

Oh the joys of multiple meanings

Rira: Yes, right now I accept payment in booty. And not the pirate kind.

It really doesn't matter what it's the answer to. It could work for most anything.

(AIM)

Rira: yes
and the answer is alcohol and yoga

Shlee: yes and yes!

Rira: if you can combine those successfully, you'll keep your mind off it

There's no quote here, but more the aftershocks of another quote (the Susan B. Anthony one)

Thank god for the interweb--How else would we have access to these soul-deep and important moments of true communication?

Shlee: My coffee tastes like cigarettes
but in the good way
Rira: haha...ew
Shlee: and there's an old man at the table next to me singing beach boys songs out loud
i just had to tell someone before i burst
Rira: are you at the moose?
Shlee: yup
that would be an even more interesting anecdote if I were actually at home
Rira: yes, it would

Broad generalizations are fun!

(AIM)

Rira: boys are wimps, even when they're gay

Even I can say some silly things...

"It's always good to have a deadline to know if your soul will be crushed."

"Are you going to come do one of my legs this summer?"

Me: "I like that ice melts."
Rira: "That is one of the better qualities of ice."

On the streets of NYC

"We started getting it on, and I decided I'm so over this."--Woman in Union Square

"Hey, did you know redheads rule the world?"--Crazy man addressing me as I walked through US

Gems from a conversation with the checkout manager at Trader Joe's:
Him: "I tried to eat my jack o lantern, but it tasted awful."

Him again (later in the conversation): "I bet you didn't know that pumpkins have testicles."
Me: :::pause::: "Well, you learn something new every day."

Rira is a wealth of quotage!

"I actually asked that while I was unzipping my pants."

"I want to see nipples."

"Ten forty twelve is not a time."

"I get confidence from alcohol."

I wouldn't believe this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...

Seen on a billboard standing along the interstate (in PA, on my way to NYC):

"SANTA IS A MYTH
LYING TO CHILDREN
LEADS TO MORAL DECAY."

I almost drove off the road trying to write this down while I was driving so I wouldn't forget.

Brian always hits the nail on the head

(AIM)

Shlee: i got an ipod shuffle for xmas
i'll a little amazed by it

Brian: it's going to be one of the little robots the big robots use for torture when they take over
it'll develop intelligence to shuffle the music that makes you want to kill yourself.

Oh Christmas--a wealth of quotage!

From Christmas Eve:

"I WILL NOT talk about cauliflower again!"--Poor Daddy

"What do you call people who dance for Jesus?"--K

Christmas shopping at the mall makes us loopy...

"It's funny because it would hurt him."--shlee

:::shlee is reduced to extended incoherant mumbling when she loses interesting in her own comment:::
K: "Annnnnddddd...scene!" (With accompanying hand gesture)

'Tis the season for vivid visual imagery!

From K, via text message:

"You should see my apt. It's like a sugar plum vomited. It's stellar."
