The Irony Never Ends
Last night I went home for dinner with my floor-family (my closest friends that live in the same dorm as I do [or at least did before the roof started leaking]) and it was really hilarious. My dad made amazing food as usual and we pigged out. Kyla dropped several F-bombs in front of my parents while we were playing an intense game of Twisted Fish. They just laughed. Woo.
The only bad thing that...

Cool Karma:
the guarantee that a moment of extreme coolness will ultimately lead to tripping on something in front of an audience later.
On Friday I had an insanely cool moment. I was wearing my new boots and my tight jeans, feeling pretty cute as I rode around a corner on my bike and simultaneously whipped my sunglasses off my head, flipped my hair, and put the sunglasses on my face.
I looked. So cool.

Back At School
Just took a 20 minute snooze in the sunshine on the green before I had class. Which I am clearly paying close attention to now. This has been a very chill Friday. I’m liking it. Especially since tonight Kyla and I are going to a rave (?) sponsored by our university.
Also, it’s finally cold enough for THE FIRST FLANNEL FRIDAY OF FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope you’re celebrating....

Snarkyness
When I was working at Macy’s on Wednesday……… someone told me I was…………………………… doing a good job.
I didn’t know the people there knew how to say those words in the same sentence.

Mushy Gushy
I am craving hot cocoa.
However, the point in my creating this post is to direct your attention to this:
http://kisstixx.myshopify.com/
Compatible lip balms made for kissing. Wow.
At first I was like, OH THAT’S ADORABLE.
But then I thought about the times that I’ve kissed somebody with lip gloss on and how boys tend to make this -what the foshizzle did you just do to my lips!?-...

Nicolette, Don't Read This
Dear River Song,
I think that you are beautiful and really, really bad@$$. Of all the weird crazy shizz that has been going on in Season 6 or Doctor Who, the big reveal at the end of the season finale was probably the most shocking. I am proud to say that I loved it.
I’m still really confused about who you’re going to kill and why, but I think that you are a total BAMF and I’m...

Fatties
My sister is always worried about gaining weight, despite the fact that she is 13 and looks way too hot for her age. This was today while she was baking cookies.
Me: You're making cookies? I thought we were making pudding.
Christine: Well, we could still make it and then dip the cookies in it.
Me: ...
Christine: What?
Me: What happened to your inner diet freak? You just suggested we dip cookies in pudding.

Why I Am Now A Sony Worshiper
So, at the beginning of July I randomly inquired about a job position on my campus that was being offered by some company named Volt that I had never heard of before.
When I got a call an hour later and acquired a few more sketchy/vague details, my step mom assumed these were people who wanted to sell me into the sex trade.
Nonetheless I got a Skype interview with someone who appeared to be a...

"ARE YOU A DEER?"
I found out that Sneffles is dear Mr. Ralph Lauren’s pet mountain. We passed by his property as we were driving to Telluride today.
Colorado is so amazingly, baffling-ly gorgeous I can barely explain it without expletives. It is, in fact, so stunning, that I finally had to make a Flickr account to host the images in this post.
Today Daddy took me to the “Mountain Market” to get...

Hello, Colorado!
So, pictures are to come, but for now I will share with you through text that I am typing this post in Ridgeway, CO. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
I need to live here.
Today we’re headed to some hot springs.
When I turn around in my seat at the kitchen table and look out the window of my uncle’s house, I see a mountain. And another. And another, and another,...

Don’t panic. I will still be blogging about my life for the delight of a million random strangers. However, change can be good. Which is why I ask you to continue amusing yourself via Rose by following my gorgeous new tumblr with Nicolette:

This blog is dedicated to highlighting the large number of super-attractive gay men on TV, the stage, the movies, and...

The Best Thing About Parties is the Food
I tried Newman-O’s Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate cookies last night at a wedding.
That was supposed to say party, not wedding, but I was watching a commercial on TV and got distracted.
The point is, those cookies changed my life. Buy them.

Greetings Received at Work
#1
Me: Oh, hi Vicky!
Vicky: What the hell did you do to your hair?!?
*insert awkward silence in which the infant conversation becomes legally dead and is then resuscitated by Nicolette asking if Vicky likes my hair and her saying no*
#2
Me: Hey Madeline!
Madeline: WeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Me: Wow. Can you greet me like that all the time?

Drunken Strawberries
Slice strawberries. Toss with a splash of white zinfandel and slightly more than a splash of Grand Marnier. Allow to marinate at least 3-4 hours. Enjoy over cake or under a fluff of whipped cream.
YUM.

It's All About The Lighting
I always like to take a shower during the day or by candlelight. But it’s not really for the reason you would think, oh no, it is much more irrational than that, I promise.
Most people who share this preference with me dislike the harsh fluorescent lights often installed in bathrooms. I do understand this sentiment and even agree with it. But really the reason I like the natural light of...

Disillusionment
I hate it when someone leaves the toilet seat up and I almost sit IN the toilet rather than on it. Some days it’s like the one thing you can count on to be there for you is the toilet seat. After the shock of almost falling into the bowl (which is always kept a certain distance away by that protective barrier) it’s like… you can’t trust that the world is on your side...

Every day of his life, my grandad rose to meet the sun at 5:55
My grandfather was always a jokester. He would put on the most serious expression when you asked him a question and say, “What are you, stupid?” Then his eyes would sparkle and a gigantic grin would light up his face as he laughed, and you couldn’t help but laugh too. The last sentence I ever heard him utter was a...

Title Unnecessary
Despite the fact that it is already early into Thursday I wanted to mention something I forgot to mention.
This past weekend I had my first experience being tickled with a beard.
That is all.

Up Til 5, Got Up At 9
Just saw my cute ROTC neighbor sitting in the hallway by my door. He’s tall and blonde and very good looking. I talked to him about his classes and wished him good look* because he has a late date to register for classes. But what is the best part of him? He has an identical twin.
Yes please. That’s all I have to say.
*Realized several hours after posting this that it should read...

Shrooms
Today I was wearing a sort of odd necklace. It's half a mushroom, gilded, on a thin gold chain. My friend, Ari, and I are waiting in line at the dining hall.
Ari: (staring at my necklace) Rose, you're on shrooms.
Me: Wrong. Shrooms are on me.
Ari: Yeah they are. High five.
(We high fived.)

Lies
See, I knew I would procrastinate some more. I just thought of something.
The other night my friend Kyla came back from… a party or something, I don’t even know, and she was, um… not exactly herself if you know what I mean. It was pretty late so she decided to lie face down on my bed with her arms wrapped around her stuffed Appa (the flying bison from Avatar: The Last Airbender)...

Blue Nail Polish
My cell seems to have exorcised itself for all of you that were worried. :P
Also, I love blue nail polish. I will never let my age stop me from wearing it.
The weather was really nice today. I just wanted to stay outside forever. But now I’m going to stop procrastinating and write a paper and study for my philosophy exam. I am typing that in hopes that it will actually be true after I post...

When Your Life Becomes the Twilight Zone/A...
So guys, I’m afraid I have some bad news.
My phone is possessed.
Don’t panic BUT I’ve assessed the situation and it appears there are one to several ghosts attempting to make contact with me right now. Left untouched, the front screen of my phone lights up at random, and when it’s unlocked, oh-ho! it gets crazy. It’s like someone is just pressing random buttons. If...

Living for the Weekends
Tyson Ritter is really flipping attractive. Just putting that out there.
So today I’m going to tell you about how I am creating a time machine so I can travel back and relive this weekend because it was AWESOME.
On Friday (already wonderful by virtue of it’s being Friday) I went to go see The Good Doctor, which is a very funny series of stories acted out about all kinds of ridiculous...

Being a Real Live Dork
So you know how sometimes in movies and TV shows the really nerdy kid goes up to a water fountain and when they press the button for water it squirts them right in the eye? I was really thirsty before Spanish class the other day so I went to get a drink. I had never used the water fountain before but I nonetheless positioned myself at general water fountain-drinking level in preparation for some...

Dude Seriously What the H
That’s my question of the night. Here’s the dealio. I’m an English major, so what am I doing? I’m writing a paper. I’m totally down with that. I don’t love writing papers, but I knew what I was getting into when I decided to study my first language. I was less prepared for the fact that people would only ever respond to hearing my choice of major with “Oh,...

Late Night Delusions
Either I am losing my mind, or this is the second (possibly third) night in a row that I’ve heard geese honking as they fly across campus around 1 o’clock in the morning. Do geese have great night vision? Could these be some kind of strange hybrid — bat-geese — and I have unknowingly discovered a new species?
I don’t know. My throat really hurts. I think...
