Overheard While Bumbling Through Blogs

From Soapy T. at Dear Diary:

"No more with that holidays/ new years business. It's all so very last year."

I was like, "No, I like buttons because they're more accurate when I type."

"The iPhone is accurate," he replied, getting all defensive.

I was like, "Really? Because I just tried to type the word 'hello' and it came out as 'hrlio.'"

From Meno at Meno's Blog:

"Em gave me Satsuma Body Butter and Mango Body Scrub for Christmas. I smell like a fucking fruit salad."

From Steph at Like A Bowl Full Of Jelly:

Me: Ugh! Gross, I feel gross -- I gained holiday weight!!!
FP: (in a kind, reassuring tone) Oh, you look great! Don't worry!
Me: Ugh
FP: (still kind) How much did you gain?
Me: THREE POUNDS! UGH!
FP: (all kindness gone) Oh my god. That's the weight of a poop. You just need to go and poop. Seriously.

From EJ at EJ Takes Life:
