Dreadful combinations
Simultaneously:
1) reading twitter updates that only depress me
2) listening to sad Jamie Cullum songs (it just came on randomly, blame spotify)

2) delete twitter account immediately
3) find a new hobby or research topic with tight deadline STAT

Every time someone said “no” to you — did you want it more? Did you want him/her more? Did you want to prove him/her wrong? If they say no, then you’ve gotta find a way to make yes happen. There’s more power in that than in being given carte blanche…

Indeed, I think you are entirely correct. ;)
I thought wine was supposed to warm you up? I’m freezing. Clearly, this can only mean one thing: I’m a very, very cold young woman. Men, watch out.

This is pretty much not how I feel, but what I’ll probably look like. ;)
