2012 resolution: don’t make the same mistake twice.
Never be daunted.
I say I’ve grown at the end of every year, and it’s always true, but I swear to god, it’s more true now than it’s ever been.

I made a castle tucked...

Brad: Yo, I feel like we're supposed to kick this guy's ass, or something.
Max: You do it, you're black, he's probably already scared of you.
Brad: Yeah, but you're gay and chubby, no one will see it coming!
Max: Chubby...?

She asked for one more dance, and I'm like, "Yeah!...
I was going to go to a party tonight, but intense rainstorms and having to drive everywhere when you’re in a suburb got in the way, so instead: I’m going to dance around to this song and maybe work on my script, and maybe start my rewatch of Happy Endings now that I know I have to have two story pitches ready for the first day of class, and maybe just Facebook chat people until 3AM. No...
“Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of

Bright: Oh, no, oh no -- he's not her boyfriend.
Ephram: Well, they're dating. He took her to prom, she wore a dress, what would you call him?
Bright: Personally, I'd call him an asshat.

Mom: Remember [one of her students we'd talked about]? I found out today that her dad's a writer for Jerry Springer!
Me: Oh, really? They have writers? I guess they have to write what Jerry says... OH, GOD. OH, GOD. CAN YOU IMAGINE WRITING FOR JERRY SPRINGER?! That's so sad.
Mom: No, it's not! It's a job -- a nice one, at that!
Me: Yeah, but it just reeks of crushed dreams. He probably wanted to write for something real, and now he's writing for....Jerry Springer. Dear Lord. I can't.

Me: Yep, my wedding food will be all Chipotle, cherry coke fountains, and Panda Express.
Rachel: But Panda Express is actually disgusting.
Me: RACHEL, YOU'RE ACTUALLY DISGUSTING.
Carly: No, but it really is.
Me: BUT IT'S MY DAY! No one said you had to eat any of the orange chicken!
Carly: Will it be like chicken or steak on the invites -- Chipotle or Panda Express? Besides, don't brides never eat at their weddings?
Me: Oh. OH. OH.
Emma: ...Taylor will definitely be eating at her wedding.
I'm loving Game of Thrones, to the surprise of...
But, having not read the books, and as we extensively discussed on Twitter, I’ll be damned if I’ll know anyones’ name by the end of the season. It’s much easier to refer to everyone as:
My Queen (Okay, I know her name. It’s Arya. But she’s still the shit.)
Bran (How appropriate is it that I only know the ten-year-olds’ names? Although admittedly I...
