Do you remember this week? I sure do. In some ways, it’s still happening.
- The face of Mrs. Gorf still scares us, even now.
- Phoenix Tso and Alexandra Flanagan summed up five years of sexual assault policy at Tufts.
- We saw Vampire Academy! They’re…not really vampires.
- Once Nicole explained the joke to me, I laughed heartily.
- Dirtbag Hamlet warmed our hearts:
Enter HAMLET, skateboarding
OPHELIA: My lord, I–
HAMLET ollies over OPHELIA’s head
HAMLET [offstage]: we were never dating
- Jaya got just a little bit more caught up and we all decided to hate the past for making such small boots. No, the past, we’re just kidding! Come back! My God, come back, if only for a moment!

Off-topic: HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THIS AWESOME, ABSURD, MISANDRIST RESPONSE TO ALL THOSE “Date a girl who reads/travels/etc” posts??
http://the-frenemy.com/post/76250743420/date-a-gi…
Some heavily abridged segments:
“Date a girl who breathes. Date a girl who takes in oxygen the same way you take in bullshit tropes, in and out and constantly. Date a girl who you don’t call “a cool girl” to imply that other girls are lesser and she’s only unique because you’ve labeled her that way. Date a girl who doesn’t get “points” for liking video games. Date somebody you think is a “slut,” you elitist old-timey prick. Date a girl who wears grandpa sweaters because she ate all the grandpas.
Date a girl who has been dead for FORTY YEARS. Date a girl who reminds you of the ex that still thinks you’re an asshole. Date a girl who is a mermaid that will drag you to the bottom of the sea. Pearly white teeth, sharp. Huddled ocean fear. You can hear yourself screaming.”
Edit: I know I should have waited for Cocktail Hour but I just couldn’t
I LOVE IT
…and now I am reading the frenemy obsessively. Thank you!

Y’all, Ellen Page came out [surprising exactly no-one] AND I saw Vampire Academy tonight and it can’t even be a femslash friday on account of it’s basically just there on screen being amazing. TODAY, y’all.
