I want to see this movie because:
— Felicity Jones’ face! Her face is perfection. If I could steal another human’s face and wear it, I would steal hers. Because I can’t do that, I will go sit in a dark theatre and stare at it for 2 hours. That’s not creepy at all.
— The trailer warms my heart. Falling in love! It’s a beautiful thing, especially the movie-perfect first time. I feel sometimes like I missed out on that kind of easy, fearless, optimistic love. Both times I’ve fallen in love, it’s felt like a fight. I’ve never got to promise someone forever just because I was young and naive and really, really believed it. I’ve always been way too aware of all the ways it could end. But all that’s a different story. This is about me really enjoying watching people fall head over heels for each other.
— This trailer breaks my heart and I’m pretty sure the movie is going to make me ugly cry in a public place. I have a weird thing for movies that make me sad. They’re some of my favorites. But I always like to experience them alone, so I won’t be taking anyone else to see this with me. Those two hours are going to be mine. I haven’t seen a movie on my own in way too long. It’s one of my favorite things.
I’ve been on a country kick lately and my one friend who is a massive fan of country has a lot of fun giving me recommendations of songs and artists. Today he calls me up and asks, “How’s your day going?”
“Oh, fine, just working on some homework. Feeling pretty good.”
“I’m about to fuck your day up.”
“Hahaha, what?”
So he tells me to go to youtube and watch this video. He says to call him back when I’m done. Halfway through, I text him, “FUCK YOU,” because, dammit, I was crying a little bit. The video is so intensely emotional, even just to watch. I mean, that moment when Jennifer Nettles breaks down and has to stop singing for a second? That’s not even fair! Those aren’t beautiful studio created tears. That is raw emotion that we have no business seeing, but it’s there and it is STUNNING.
Now, I manage to recover from watching that video. I listen to the song a few more times, download it (legally!), let a few more tears fall, then go about my day. Finish some homework, watch some Australia’s Next Top Model, go out to dinner with my boyfriend before he heads off to work.
It’s late now and I’m just getting ready to go to bed for the night and this song just hits me again. Out of nowhere I start crying. Not the single tear from the corner of the eye kind of crying. No. More like the silent, tears streaming down my face kind of cry. The one that comes right before the ugly cry.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a song hit me like that, especially not after I’ve heard it a few times already. But this one just doesn’t want to let my brain go. It’s a little emotional terrorist, lodged right behind my eyes.
The worst/best thing about this song? It preys on those little thoughts I try to ignore. The ones I’ve pushed to the back of my mind again and again. The ones I pretend I’m over. I mean, I’m never been the other woman, but there are parts of this song that just make me say, “REALLY!? Really, Sugarland, you gotta make it this personal?” And the one line that is determined to stab me through the heart every I listen to it? “I’ve given you my best/Why does she get the best of you?” Like, fuck, man. I’VE SAID THAT. Not quite those exact words, but that exact sentiment. And that hurts like nothing else.
So I just texted my friend “FUCK YOU” again. And now I’m going to try to get some sleep.
Royal wedding, Kate and Leo William, blah, blah, blah. I don’t really care about this whole event, but this is just plain adorable. It’s sweet that they made their wedding a little more fun and personal like this. Also, Kate Middleton is gorgeous and her dress was beautiful. Alexander McQueen is always a good choice.
(I blame Tumblr for all my knowledge of the royal wedding.)

Lawrence O’Donnell chokes up while defending Planned Parenthood: After playing a clip of Senator Jon Kyl slamming Planned Parenthood, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell defended the clinical service provider by reading an e-mail from a friend who had used their services in the past.
As he read the final words in the email from his BlackBerry, O’Donnell became visibly emotional. After reading the last portion of the email, O’Donnell placed his smartphone on the table and turned away from the camera as the show faded to black.
The show was taped before a budget deal had been reached between the White House and Republicans which preserves federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The framework of the federal spending budget goes to a vote next week and is expected to pass. [MSNBC]
I have a lot of feelings for this man. I want him to be my new dad. It doesn’t help that my mom calls him her “boyfriend”, rofl. LOOK, IT’S HARD TO FIND A GOOD, LIBERAL IRISH MAN. It’s between him and Liam Neeson for her.
I will defend Planned Parenthood to the death. I donate monthly to their organization and have done so for nearly two years. Sometimes I can only afford $5, but I give what I can because their services are crucial to so many women, including me. It saddens me and enrages me when people focus only on the abortion part of their services. When my grandfather lectured me after seeing a Planned Parenthood condom fall out of my purse, he told me, “That name is a joke. They aren’t interested in parenthood or families. They are trying to kill those things.” I was younger then and didn’t know how to respond. I was shocked that he believed that. I wish I’d had the words and the courage to tell him that he was wrong. I am so grateful that there are people out there who are willing to vocally and repeatedly defend the mission of Planned Parenthood, to defend my right to make decisions about my body and my sexuality, to defend my right to a minimum of healthcare.
I guess what I’m really trying to say is thank you, Lawrence O’Donnell. Thank you for speaking up for those of us who don’t have a voice or who just can’t find it sometimes. Those Republicans can get too damn loud sometimes.

Jimmy Fallon - Born to Run - Emmys Opening Sketch - 2010 - Glee - Emmy Awards - 720P HD (via supernoikz)
Fuck the Glee kids (even though you’re really pretty, Lea Michelle). This video is all about Tina Fey and Jon Hamm (DO ME) and Betty White for me.
Also, Joel McHale (COMMUNITY DESERVED ALL OF GLEE’S NOMINATIONS) and Jane Lynch (EXCEPT HERS) were fucking dynamite together. Yeah. Dynamite.
“Gay PDA Experiment.”
i believe this is from “what would you do” on abc, which is an amazing show.
This is heartening. I know I live in the gay-friendly bubble of San Francisco, but that doesn’t stop people from giving my girlfriend and I dirty looks for holding hands or kissing in public. I’m still not used to the attention that just being out brings. I hate that other people can make me feel so uncomfortable about what should be nothing of importance to anyone but me.
This will forever and ever make me swoon.
New Music Video! Lady Gaga - “Alejandro”
Third single off GaGa’s second studio album, The Fame Monster.
Let the parodies commence.
[vevo.]
I’m not even sure what’s going on here, but I love it. Definitely my favorite video of hers yet.
I am basically just like Ted there when I am drunk. But I am not vomit-free since ‘93. Oh, no. I am vomit-free since 11 hours ago because that’s what nine shots of vodka does to you, kids. Fuck yeah.
(Last night was really fun and gross. But mostly fun.)
OMG! Adorbz of the Day: Carlos unintentionally crushes his poor little son Losiah’s heart with the six ugliest words in the English language: “You are not a single lady.”
[collegehumor.]
“I’m a horrible father.” Hahahaha, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
