The Best 100 Opening Lines from Books →
Such a nerd- but I love this so much. It includes one of my favorite lines from a book, (opening or otherwise):
“In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the...
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted...”
– Elizabeth Edwards
Straight.up.rant.
Things I don’t want to hear as soon as I walk in the house:
Shit for not getting ashes today and the reasons I’m a “heathen”
Shit for what time I leave the house in the morning, be it too early or too late
Shit for not making my lunch at home today (or apparently ever)
Shit for coming home and being “in no mood/state to talk”
Shit I hear as soon as the...

Someone just asked me what my favorite song was.
That is so much pressure! I judge so hard based on music.
Thankful
I have ridiculous friends who discuss such important topics with me:
On what we’re giving up for Lent: ”I’m giving up meat for lent again. And bread… I really need to lose weight and I feel like Jesus will help me.” -MF
On a certain piece of drinking paraphernalia: ”I don’t remember seeing it on Sunday? What did you do with JT and I’s love...

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Speaking of which, Amy Poehler returned to Saturday Night Live last night to reunite with former Weekend Update co-host Seth Meyers for a special birth-control segment of “Really?!?” which delved into all the wacky, anachronistic mishegas the Republicans were up to this week.
On the one hand, I hope Amy returns to Weekend Update more often. On...
Useless announcement: I wish my first name was Blair.
It’s my middle name, and my grandma’s maiden name. Of all 50-something of the Blair grandkids and great grandkids, I’m one of the only few who still have the name. If I have only boys, I will continue to have children until I have a daughter. So I can name her Blair.
I will say: I do love my name. Brenna Blair. It’s...

If I said I was crying before, I was lying. I am openly crying at my desk. This is the sweetest story. Perfect for today. Read it here.

Well this stupid (and heart-breakingly accurate) Thought Catalog post just set me back 30 minutes.

LOL.
Reason #1 I need to get my desk moved:
I almost just fell down the stairs……..for the third time today.
PS- I’m wearing flats.
Reason #2: I think I’m high. It smells like a dentist’s office up here. I also just spent the past 15 minutes crying tears of joy. So either the fumes are making me loopy or my parents’ strong suspicion that I’m mentally ill is correct- whichever.
“Never look down on anyone because of their present situation. Sometimes the...”

Looking at my next loan payment and whimpering at my desk. Damn you, past-Brenna, for choosing to attend a private college instead of going to a damn SUNY school.

I'm so incredibly happy.
I walked into my new job, former internship, yesterday and someone waved from their office and yelled “Welcome home, Brenna!”
An hour later, I saw the same person in the hall and she grabbed me, hugged me and said “I’m so happy you’re here.”
These two events sum up my feelings about yesterday. I woke up today feeling incredibly grateful- and I know I’ll...
