I was talking to my college housemate yesterday and she mentioned that the Target website was down because of the Missoni collection debut. She then sent me links to the A&F website where they were having a mega-clearance sale. This got me thinking to the last time I went shopping for clothes. I did a little bit of shopping when I was in Malaysia ( Read more... )

At the top of my list of "Foods I'd never been exposed to until I moved to the States" is goat cheese. Have any of you ever tried the stuff? I swear it tastes like dirt.

I told myself I wouldn't let it happen to me again. I've been hurt too many times already. I vowed to keep my heart away. I tried to make it seem like I didn't care. But, things don't always work out do they? There's always that tiny sliver of hope. When will I learn? Is this what it means to be a Cal fan? Is this what it's like to bleed blue and
