I don't travel often but when I do, I travel with purpose. Before every flight I make a plan for how I am going to spend those hours in the air. Am I going to sleep? Read? Do some work? Watch a movie? The possibilities are endless and frankly, I put a lot of thought into it. But then you encounter someone REALLY annoying and your plans are foiled. Here's how these fools ruined my flight.

Epic Movie Quotes: Titanic
Can you believe she let go?! Not sure if this clip is epic because it is so romantic or because it is such a LIE. Fourth grade Cara will never forgive Kate Winslet for letting go of the most handsome man in the world, Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't care if he was dead. You do not let go of that hand!!! Couldn't get a super clean clip but this Titanic montage features the epic quote:

You Are My Best Friend
You are my best friend.
"OMG she's, like, my best friend" is what I say about the girls I stay friends with for a month, three months, a year... but you? No. You? You ARE my best friend. You are the person I text at random hours of the night to ask you the name of the guy I drunkenly hooked up with 4 summers ago. You are the person I go to for clarity for anything and everything. Because you listen. You don't just hear me and agree with me. You listen and give the most honest advice of anyone I know. And you're always right. And it's always exactly what I need to hear. You are the person who can finish my sentences or speak the words already starting in my head as if you're in there with me.

Epic Movie Quotes: Apollo 13
Okay okay... You can argue that this isn't a movie quote but just a quote from life. That would be true. HOWEVER, in a few more years from now when you watch Apollo 13 with your kids that fact will be lost. Similar to how people didn't realize the Titanic actually happened (yes... it annoys me too), soon Tom Hanks will get official credit for coining this line.

The 10 Unsexiest Things I'm Doing While We're Sexting
I love to sext. It's fun, it's sexy, it makes me smile in naughty pleasure. 98% of the time when I sext I am NOT touching myself. Think about it, it's hard to do when it takes 2 hands to type on an iPhone. Plus, my sext convos can extend for a long period of time and lets face it, I don't have that kind of attention span. So here is a list of the 10 unsexiest things I'm doing while we sext.

Movie Review: Looper
Looper starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis exceeded my expectations. It isn't often you go to a movie and have no idea what it's about. It is even less often that you see a movie that isn't based off a book, comic, video game, etc. The fact that it's an original screenplay (as far as I know) gets major bonus points from the start. The great cast and crazy plot made it epic. Spoilers below!!!!

How The Dating Game Has Changed
Okay so I've been out of the dating game a while. Lots has changed since 2005. Some for the better, some not so much but overall it's a whole new ballgame! For many of you I may be stating the obvious but for others who haven't been on a date since high school, this may be useful for you! (Just me? Okay.)

#ThrowbackThursday: My Boyfriends Mike & Joey
I have found the motherload - my first ever hand written diary, starting in December 1996 and ending in what I can imagine is 1999, before I graduated elementary school in 2000. Below are 3 of my favorite snippets of this diary talking about my crushes Mike and Joey. I referred to them as my boyfriends..I don't think I knew what "boyfriend" meant. My reflections today are italicized!

5 Things You Can Never Borrow From Me
I think I'm an OK share-er. I mean I passed kindergarten without learning how to color in the lines so I must have won them over with my sharing skills. I let my friends borrow my clothes and shoes and I trust my mom with my beloved Kindle. But there are 5 things I will never let ANYONE borrow from me.

Epic Movie Quotes: Ghostbusters
Technically this is a quote from a song but the song originated from a movie so I am going to allow it. Ghostbusters holds a special place in all our hearts and when someone asks you who you're going to call, you only have one response...

Why Everyone You Date Is Weird
I was talking to a friend of mine about dating and going out to meet new people and a common theme that kept coming up was "But... I'm weird." I listened to the concern and frankly, I agreed. My friend is weird. But so am I and then I realized, so is everyone I ever met. Without getting too philosophical, facts are we all have strange quirks or habits that are fine in the privacy of our own homes but get "WTF faces" when we do them in public. For those of you freaks still in the closet or afraid to date because "you're weird", here's a list of why I am really weird. Also for those men out in the world who were interested in dating me before, beware as I spill my dirty secrets.

#ThrowbackThursday: Slinky
I don't know about all of you, but I had about a million slinkies growing up. I would attempt to push them down the stairs and fondle them across my hands. 99% of all my slinkies ended up destroyed, twisted, and broken. And yet, the bright colors and cool sound drew me in to buy more. The slinky wasn't the coolest of the toys, but they were quite popular.

Socialize Your Bookshelf
This was originally posted on Likeable Media
Ever since I received my Kindle last Christmas, I have become the ultimate book nerd. I always loved to read as a child, making frequent visits to the library, haphazardly picking up whatever books had a cool looking cover. Back then, the only way to get a book recommendation was through word of mouth, or by asking the old librarian. Today, the process of getting great book recommendations has become much more involved and much more convenient. Here are 3 ways to help figure out which book to dive into next:
