An Explanation for My Absence

I can sum up my absence from this blog in a hypothetical situation: Let's say that your relationship of 7 months ended miserably on HALLOWEEN while you were wearing your dream costume (sexy Hermione Granger!) and then you went on to mope for the next two weeks, wearing only black as a means of mourning the death of your relationship ... oh, and you had midterms.
Not that this is what happened, but let's just pretend it's my excuse for putting Hugfire on hold. Who could blame me, right?

Moving on (like I really should! Ok, bad pun), here is my list of 3 things that will make anyone (or maybe just me) feel genuinely happy, at least temporarily, after a bad breakup:

1. Sasha Fierce's (wtf, why the name change Beyonce?) new single "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) - First off, she's hot and plain ol' fun to watch. Secondly, the lyrics will be your new facebook status because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I watched this video 8 times. In a row.


2. "The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World's Greatest Human" by Ian Spector - Example: "Chuck Norris eats pencils and markers for breakfast, and he shits out masterpieces." Better example: "Chuck Norris can create a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it. And then he lifts it anyway, just to show you who the fuck Chuck Norris is." This book will get you through the toughest times of your life, GUARANTEED.

3. Dressing in disguise - As I previously mentioned, black was the new "every other color" in my wardrobe. I was still in that wardrobe stage between "I have a boyfriend" and "I'm newly single and would like to attract as many men as possible." So while I was home in LA I picked up some awesome nerd glasses and laceup leath-uh boots at the Fairfax Flea Market and a pair of faux leather leggings from Target. Dressing in black on black on black made me feel like a badass instead of a mopey, brokenhearted grump.

Yeah, it was a pretty shitty couple of weeks. But I think I'm done being emo and done neglecting this blog. I'm still wearing the nerd glasses and the black on black on black though!
