Why do we spend our nights on Tumblr?
amoureuxbelle:
( ) Because we have no social life.
( ) Because our friends don’t call us to get out.
(x) Because we are too sexy to the world outside, and mere mortals don’t deserve to breathe the same air as we do.

Signs that I am nearing "adulthood"
lookuplookup:
Yesterday I had the day off from work. I spent it at the office, working. Then I went to the grocery store, then I did the laundry, then I worked some more from home, then I made the quarterly payment on my regional income taxes.
I bought pants from an Eddie Bauer this weekend.
I ate Cookie Crisp for breakfast and it tasted awful.
