iTunes secret messages

As I scour my billion-song iTunes for some perfect songs for my Halloween mix, I have encountered a few odd things...

When I search "Evil,"
Hannah Montana's "life's what you make it" and "Nobody's perfect" show up

When I search "Bone"
Madonna's entire "erotica" CD shows up

When I search "Die"
Aaron Carter's version of "Run rudolph run" shows up.


Hmmm...

105%

Do you think hookers go as moderately clothed college girls for Halloween?

This is why I love Collegehumor.

those brownies must be delish

Alex: Hey.
Me: Yeah?
Alex: Have you tried one of these brownies?
Me: nah.
Alex: They're REALLY good.
Me: Kay.

*2 minutes later*
Alex: Did I already ask you if you've tried one of these brownies?
Me: Yes, just a second ago.
Alex: What did you say?
Me: That I didn't.
Alex: Ugh, they're really good.

*5 minutes later*
Alex: Melissa?
Me: Yeah?
Alex: Nevermind.
Me: What?
Alex: I was gonna ask you again about the brownies, but I thought it might...
Me: ...be too much?
Alex: Yeah.

Ahhh, Thanksgiving.

Has anyone ever noticed that probably the biggest week of the year for America is Thanksgiving week?

The day before Thanksgiving is known as the biggest bar night in the year (due to people not having to work the next day and people having a "homecoming" with their buddies).

Thanksgiving, of course, is the biggest gluttony celebration there is, AND there is football on that day AND parades.

Then, of course, is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which is known to be the busiest shopping day of the year, when most people do their Christmas shopping.

What joy. All in celebration of a little event where some Native Americans taught pilgrims how to grow corn to survive the long season ahead, and the pilgrims returned the favor by giving them disease and stealing their land.



How proud I am to say "I'M AMERICAN!"

like...toaster?

I was reading a definitions list my Spanish teacher sent the class, and came across this definition:

"The use of words that sound like their meanings."

Aloud, I thought "like, Toaster?"

Then I read the word it was defining: onomatopoeia.


Silly me.

Subway?

Alex and I were heading toward the bus stop last night when a teenage couple stopped and asked us a question.

"Where's the closest subway?"

Alex paused, thinking.
At first I was confused (this isn't NYC, we call the train "the El"), then I took initiative and responded.

"You mean the train? Well, see that street there? That's Chicago. Walk about two blocks that way, and right in front of the McDonald's you'll see stairs going down. Take those down and there you are!"
The girl nodded and said "Thanks."

As we were walking away, Alex said "See, I paused because I thought she was talking about the sandwich place."
"But I said 'the train,' right?" I replied.
"Yeah, but she didn't say anything when you said that, so I don't know if she meant the train or the restaurant."
"oh."

Well, we figured out there was a Subway near there, anyways, but it wasn't located underground down some staircase. Hopefully the couple found their way.
