This post has been a long time coming. The industry in which I work (advertising) and my job title (writer) have put me in contact with loads of hacks, wannabes, posers, pricks and just overall obnoxious, self-assured jerks. I’ve been mentally keeping track of the worst, most horrifyingly pretentious conversation topics I’ve experienced, and these are my own personal list of the top 10...
Molly: An abacus would confuse her, so the Internet stands zero chance.

WatchSo Brad and I are going to France for our honeymoon!!! I’m beyond happy/pleased/jazzed/tons of other feel-good adjectives. Then I found this happy video series called “Live the Language” on Vimeo and the Paris one made me even MORE excited. If that was even possible. Anywho…beware: watching these will bring about a terrible ache of wanderlust deep in your heart.

The Furnace + The Firefly
His body, a furnace that’s always on,
Fueling our rotisserie of blankets and limbs.
He glows steady—a stationary star,
And I’m a troupe of traveling fireflies,
A long string of tangled Christmas lights,
Flickering on and off.
- Elyse Gibson
