8.5.13

It is good that you can love all kinds of people – but to make the relationship last in a meaningful way, it needs to reach past normal love and get to the deep, very personal love that can only be shared with that one person. Like, if love was a Poke'mon: Charmander is the easy one that you get with many good friends. Charmeleon is the love between close family and really close friends. Charazard is the really special love that only can exist with the significant other. Sorry if Poke'mon reference is over the top; seemed like an easy way to express my thoughts.

I despise fluorescent lights. There are few things that tick me off more than bad lighting. It does NOT increase productivity. In fact, it stifles it. Now, cool lighting – there’s something to be said about that. 
A. Horner
8.10.13

*whip sound* Jacksons, homie. 
G. Geitzenauer with a stack of 20 dollar bills in hand

I just don’t understand the thinking behind it. It somewhat makes sense, but why does she have to be Tony Stark naked? 
E. Bretl on Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” video
9/12/13

'Lipstick’ – as in the type of lesbian she was. If i was going to objectify her, I would have called her 'Blonde’ or 'Boots’. She had nice boots and I thought about yelling it each time I passed her – but then she’d think I said 'boobs’, and I didn’t wanna deal with that.
J. Toetschinger

J. Eide on Michael Douglas
10.25.13

Yeah, dating sucks – until you’ve been married for 30 years and then it gets fun again. Just kidding, I’m not dating anyone. Your mom and I go on dates once in a while – when she works up the courage to ask me out. 
J. Boyer
10.26.13

Ugh. You got clare drunk without me? See, none of this would have happened if I’d been there. We probably would have gotten naked, and danced around, and everything would have been FINE.

Wanted to tell him to back off my jimmies and maybe smile. 
B. Zimmerman
10.31.13

It rattled me viciously, to the very core of my being. And when I recovered, my judgement had passed of “Eh, not for me”. It came off more as a goose birthing a bunny, which I don’t condone. Poop jokes, however, I am usually for.

A. R. Augustin
11.30.13

Honestly, regarding the beavers, I don’t mind a hairy one and I told [her] it was fine if she let it grow and stuff. But now she explicitly grows it out and refuses to go back. I keep mine trim enough. I would be willing to do whatever she requested – and that’s the difference. I empowered her and she betrayed me.
