Marathon Hands

Juli, talking about a dude: “…he did like to touch my face though, which was nice.”

Me: “I don’t like when people touch my face because who knows the last time they washed their hands?”

Juli: “Dude, this guy was training for a marathon, I know he washed his hands often.”

On Freaky Friday

molly: “i saw it in theaters.”

me: “me too.”

pat: “me too. i remember my mom picked up me and [my sister] from Old Navy after the movie. she picked us up there instead of the theater.”

molly: “i remember the makeover scene where Jamie Lee Curtis shops at this store Pink Ice that i’d been to, and thinking it was so cool that we shopped at the same store.”

me: “well, while you were shopping with jamie lee curtis, pat and i were at Old Navy.”

SOMNILOQUY (SLEEPTALKIN’)

shane: “icons, baby. i wish… i wish i were worthy of icons. like paula abdul, or justin timberlake.”

me: “OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU SAYING RIGHT NOW?”

shane: “I DON’T KNOW, I’M TIRED.”

While Discussing People With Funny Names

Molly: There was a girl in my school named Sha’Purple.

Me: Are you fucking serious. Sha’Purple.

Molly: Yeah. She kinda looked like Precious.

Me: Yeah, I inferred that from her name.

Are you sure you want to be my friend?

Yesterday, Harvard & Comm

Rachael, Pat and I are walking past a presumably homeless man sitting outside of Tedeschi’s with nip of unidentifiable liquor.

Man: Lemme ax you ladies a question, why don’t y’all ladies ever wanna talk to me?

Me: I mean… it’s nothing personal.

Man: Damn I like the way she said that!!! [higher-pitched, slightly mocking tone] “It’s nothin’ personal, Gaaaary!”

  • Panera Girl: (after taking my order) Can I get your name?
  • Me: Mary-Kate.
  • Panera Girl: There was a girl in here an hour ago who, I swear to God, could have been your twin.
  • Me: Was her name Ashley?
  • Panera Girl: No, it was like, Kelly or something.
  • (20 seconds elapse)
  • Panera Girl: MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY! I GET IT!

hi, i'm mary-kate. i initially got on tumblr as a wide-eyed college freshman to post sunny photos i took in my everyday life, but i now find myself still here on this website at age 23, reblogging memes and using phrases like "reblogging memes". the internet is fucking weird, and we love it, don't we? oh, yes we do.

about me? i'm a slacker in college--excuse me, i mean senior in college--and waitress extraordinaire*. i like most people, so that means i probably like you, statistically speaking. i am a communication studies major at emerson college who would rather mediate conflicts than publicize relations. i think that it's not about the destination, but the journey. that's why i expand my brain with the Metro crossword during my daily public transportation endeavors. i almost always thank the bus driver when i get off the bus, but never thank the T conductor. i mean, he doesn't even have to steer the thing.

here's my locked twitter

ask me anything?

*"extraordinaire" is the french word for "spilly and forgetful" right?
