Typical Greek Man
Me: Would you consider yourself whipped?
My dad: I can't answer that...
Me: Why not?
My dad: She'll hit me!
“It’s acceptable for you to put a leash on me.”
– My brother to his girlfriend prior to leaving for China—where he’s afraid he’ll get lost.
Skype Chat with my dad (for the first time)
My dad: Hey
Me: Yo
My dad: hey
Me: My flight is still on for tomorrow as of now
My dad: hi
Me: Why do you keep saying hello?
My dad: Because I'm old and confused
Five minutes later he called me on my cell.
The good thing about procrastinating
is that sometimes when you procrastinate from doing one thing, it leads you to doing/finishing something else.
Example: I leave for home in around 12 hours, and there’s a goodbye party in four that will probably last the entire night. I have yet to start packing and am avoiding it like the plague.
BUT, I have successfully applied for five different work-study jobs. So that’s pretty...
“He’s amazing. In the special Christmas DVD we did, he gets naked. I asked Rob if...”
– Kaitlin Olson talking about Danny DeVito

“We were secretly dating in season two, but we didn’t tell anyone. I didn’t want...”
– Kaitlin Olson (aka “Sweet Dee” on Sunny) about her husband, Rob McElhenney (“Mac”)
Cool things about being sick

As you go up the stairs, your nose clears up little by little with each step
That’s all I’ve got
Sherry, I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while—I love you and all of your posts. That is all.
The only thing worse than using a public bathroom...
is when someone else walks in directly after your brief tinkle and most likely thinks you left the smell.
When I woke up this morning
I thought I was in the baby single. Oh, how I miss my baby.
I love It's Always Sunny but...
…I see right through their ploys to get people (like me) to buy merchandise. In the season finale, all the characters wore a “Flipadelphia” t-shirt, and I thought to myself, “I wonder if they’re gonna try to sell those.”
Sure enough, FX already has them up on the website for $25/each. Same thing with Dick Towel from a few episodes ago.
I know I...
Dear_____
For the past hour I have been responding to your interminable speaking with subtle nods, occasional mmm hmmms, and one-word, nondescript responses all without shifting my eyes from the computer screen. Will you please emerge from your self-absorbed bubble long enough to notice that I don’t care about the funny t-shirts on Charolotte Russe’s website, I don’t care that your friend...
My Lame Life
Jena and I just discovered how to bold and _underline_ on facebook chat. Seriously made my day.
Currently Skyping with my mom
We’re discussing what “team” each member of our family is on: Edward or Jacob. No joke.
Results:
Nick: Jacob
Maria: Jacob
Kristy: Edward
Mom: Edward
Dad: Undecided
“I like the sensi type. Edward worries about souls. Poor Edward.”-my mom
And it begins...
Just got an email from one of my professors for next quarter to remind us that we have an assignment due on the first day of class.
After four months of studying abroad (which, let’s face it, involves absolutely no studying), I don’t think I’m ready for Northwestern.
EDIT: Nevermind. I completely forgot I’m an LOC major. The assignment is to write down two “learning...
Yeah, I smell
After 5 days of having no hot water (and subsequently only one—freeeeeezing—shower all week) our water heater is finally fixed!
Praise Zeus for that. Shower time!
First thing tomorrow morning….
Just have to vent

The sound of my roommate’s voice makes me cringe.
Had a discussion about it last night with one of my friends (she brought it up, not me…) and now I can’t help but notice how annoying she actually sounds. I can hear her skyping in the next room and I just want to punch her in the face.
Yes. I am a terrible person. But it’s awful. Just horrible.
Totally...

Learned recently that

the French type “miam miam miam” when referring to something delicious, instead of “yum yum yum”.
But it sounds the same!
(Except “yum” would probably be pronounced “yooom” by the French)
Little things can blow my mind.
That’s like how the Greeks sometimes type xaxaxaxa for hahahaha. Good stuff. I guess hahahaha would be pronounced eeaeeaeeaeea.
History of the Modern Greek State
It’s currently 12:18. Class was suppose to start at 11:30. We’ve been eating cookies and talking about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah for the past 45 minutes.
Love it.
EDIT: It is now 12:28 and we’re talking about Mormon wedding ceremonies.

Every morning for the past three and a half months I’ve bought a 1.5 liter bottle of water from this kiosk outside of school. And every morning I have paid 1 euro for said bottle. This morning, I found that the kiosk has closed down for “winter” (if such a season exists here…). So, I went into this little store right next door where I paid FORTY-FIVE CENTS for the exact...
Me: Did you like New Moon?
Nick: Yeah, I was pretty wrapped up in it. I'm really jealous of Taylor Lautner.
Nick: So jacked
Nick: Did you know he is dating Taylor Swift?
Me: No, I didn't...are you jealous?
Nick: I'm jealous of his body, not of Taylor Swift you ass.
Me: Still sounds pretty gay...
Nick: Did you know if they get married there will be two Taylor Lautners. So awesome.
Me: Don't you have homework you should be doing instead of contemplating a world with two Taylor Lautners?
Nick: I was doing homework. My thoughts interrupted it. How sad.
