I’m Just as Human as You, I Just Look Good While Doin’ It

Don’t hate, but for the second time in the past year, my hometown newspaper has singled me out as “Kind of a Big Deal.” Ok, they do this to lots of people, and it’s really just a look back on the news that was going on five, 10, 15 years ago. But I don’t know anyone who’s been mentioned twice. So, obviously, Big Deal status should be bestowed on me today.

I do have to say that at first I was like “oh man, five years ago, I can’t believe it’s been that long.” And then I remembered I’m actually 27, and this whole National Honor Society business was probably 10 years ago. And then I felt old. But then I remembered, I’m famous, and a whole 36 people probably read this article, Google-ed me, found my blog, and then exploded over how famous I’ve actually become.

Shout out to Alli Smith! Why those other NHS officers weren’t mentioned, I have no idea. Suckers.

Narcissistic Question of the Day: Can I Pull Off This Look?

I think I look like Jay-Z.

In second grade I decided that I really needed to have glasses. So I pretended I couldn’t see the blackboard from my desk and my mom took me for a checkup with her optometrist. Vision: 20/20.

So I never got my wish. That is until this weekend when my cousin Sam gave me these awesome specs! So I wore them all weekend in Philly, because I know no one there that would point and laugh at me. But now I’m back in the real world and need to make an important life decision: do these glasses look good on me, or am I really just trying way, way too hard.
