Chicago Pride Parade 2011
1. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And no, I’m not that girl.
2. Are they Jewish? I need to know! It gives me hope that my neuroses, overbearing mother, sensitive stomach, and cheap tendencies won’t get in the way of a fairytale life.
3. I’m starting to save up now so I can one day hire this videographer.

You are a mean girl and you are in high school, and while you’re in high school I’m in Brooklyn, trying to survive in this economy, working.

Can you guess which question I intended to Google?
Wikipedia confirms: Jake Gyllenhaal’s mother is from a Jewish family from New York City, and Gyllenhaal has said that he considers himself “more Jewish than anything else.”
SCORE!
I should write for SNL
I’ve decided that writing a part of a Stefon sketch sounds better than finishing my day of work. I assume once it goes viral and Lorne Michaels sees it I’ll be hired on the spot. If you don’t know who Stefon is… well you probably shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet.
Stefon: New York’s hottest club is RASH. Club promoter Homo Simpson is back and he’s gone manic! This place has everything- monkeys in diapers, fat babies drinking Four Loko, a boy who cries wolf, a snowman that looks like Michael Keaton and none other than human bobsleds.
Seth: Um Stefon… what are human bobsleds?
Stefon: Oh you know it’s that thing of when you like grease up a midget in a parka and four Jamaicans ride him down a mountain.
Whoops whoops whoops! Pug wearing pug slippers! Sorry for the heart attacks, friends! RIP, everyone!
I. AM. DEAD. LIFE. COMPLETE.
Watching this made me realize two things.
1. How much I miss speaking french on a fairly regular basis (7th grade through the end of college).
2. How much I want to go to France.

“If you’ve ever had to learn a new language on the fly in a foreign country, you’ll know how disorienting, humbling, and exhilarating it can be; it has a way of making the whole world seem new again. A language teaching company called EF recently commissioned a series of videos that captures that feeling perfectly, and with the help of some excellent photography, catchy music, and a willowy model or three, they make you want to fly to Paris right now and start fumbling to order something at a boulangerie in broken French. Also, check out the excellent typography.”
“Burn Book”
I found my sorority “Burn Book” recently. Whoever made it really hit the nail on the head with what they said about me (except nobody in college called me Jilly but whatever).
NICKNAME: Jilly
USUALLY FOUND: Babylon Café
QUOTABLE QUOTE: I swear I never do this…
TRADEMARK: Waking up with bruises.
STARRING IN THE REMAKE OF: Weekend at Bernies II
DREAM: Marry the perfect guy.
REALITY: There are no perfect guys. Multiple divorces.
BEST KEPT SECRET: Reeves Price.
MOST LIKELY TO: Bring a guy home at night and forget his name by morning.
To clarify- Babylon Cafe was the laundromat/Middle Eastern restaurant near campus. Oh and for more info on Reeves Price see Most Likely To.
