ooh, it's like I'm a grownup!

Grout. It's squishy, it's white, and it keeps water from getting between your tiles. Over the past two nights, we've fixed a bunch of cracked grouting in two bathrooms. Hooray, home improvement! (Boo, people who didn't do proper maintenance in the first place...)

You have GOT to be kidding me...

Oh good LORD. I'm flipping channels and I happened across My Super Sweet 16 on MTV. Could these children be MORE SPOILED? I caught the end of the ep with Janelle, a Cuban girl living in Miami who was having her Quinceanera and seriously, before I knew I was watching MTV, I was sure it was a wedding show. What else would explain the primadonna all in white with identically-dressed attendants hovering around her and gushing over how pretty she looks?

This one, about Carlysia, whose daddy is an R&B star, is more disgusting, because this little girl is greaking talking about herself int he third person and demanding a Mercedes convertible for her birthday and so on...

This is like the antithesis of my 16th birthday. My huge excitement was that I got contacts. Oh, baby. And I went to a New Year's party at (oh god) Darren's house which was a big deal because we'd just gotten back from 4 months in the Netherlands and I hadn't seen anybody since the end of August.
