No one is alone.



The weather in New York is freezing and wet, but I went to the Shake Shack & Duane Reade anyways. I bought this weeks' issue of New York Magazine (as seen above). 1 in every 2 New Yorkers live alone, but we are no where near as lonely as you would think. In fact, it said that people who live in small towns are much lonelier than urban city dwellers. The author said the average New Yorker's network of acquaintances can be just as good for ones health as a small group of "good" friends.

And ironically enough, I read the article by myself while eating a burger at the Shake Shack.

True Life: I'm a Southern Bell

"This is my boyfriend. He knows that one day he will be financially responsible and run our household, and I will entertain him!"


I do believe that people with this mentality are the reason why America is not as progressive as it should. The second girl is 24 and unmarred and fears becoming an "old maid." Are you SERIOUS? They all perform in beauty pageants, tease their hair, and aspire only to get married.

This girl that I went to school with refuses to go to Planned Parenthood because of the kind of "people" that go there AKA lower class, not-white people. She judges people like it's her job, but she doesn't want people to judge her for the current affair she is having at her office with a married man. Oh no, of course not. Hypocrites...

This is amazing.

From JuliaAllison:


I'm on the far left, size 12! (Same size as Marilyn Monroe!)

I ventured into Target on 225th Street and bought 21 on DVD for $8; and I spent most of the day today reading Baby Proof, I love Emily Giffin!

"ideal-weights" need to go.

I'm watching True Life: I'm a Yo-Yo Dieter and I can't understand why people have "ideal weights". I rarely get on a scale, it's usually only at doctors appointments. I don't care what my weight is, only that I'm happy with how I look.

I have friends with "ideal weights" and I just don't understand it. If anyone that reads this has an ideal weight, comment and let me know why you have such a fixation on a number! Please?

1,000!

Happy 1,000 hits for my blog!

Thanks for visiting everyone!
