Pickup lines

It's just one of those days where I can't really think of a post, but want to write something. So, why not put a little bit of the good, the bad, and the REALLY ugly pickup lines out there. Trust me, I've been privy to QUITE a few. One of my friends tends to think it's because I'm too easy to smile (I've definitely been told that I'm sucker for the Save the Children people, but that's because their tagline, DO YOU HAVE MOMENT TO CHANGE A CHILD"S LIFE, is too damn heartwarming. Sorry, have a heart, which is also a new discovery). Which, basically translates to, Stop being a freaking sucker E. I mean, I kind of agree. It's quite amazing that I'm not bankrupt from charitable donations--I thank sunglasses. Anyway, horrible one-liners after the jump, along with my reactions.

"Can I buy you a drink?" - I was drinking water

"Hey girl, what you listening to? Oh, Britney? I LOVE HER! She's my gurl. I love that song, Toxic. The taste of your lips.. I'm over itttttt"- Sadly, not uttered by an adorable gay man. Uttered by, an easily 200 lb pound, 6'2 black man. I mean, get it gurl, but really, not as an opener.

"You and I would make beautiful children together." Ok, sorry to disappoint, this one actually got me, because: 1) He was incredibly attractive and 2) IT WAS TRUE. We would make beautiful mixed race babies together. But, alas, twas not meant to be.

"Hey, want some of this tequila?" I was at a Regatta and he was a hot (rower!) man wearing spandex. I think you know how that ended.

"I can give you a ride home on my bike." It's a lot cooler if you think that it's a motorcycle, but....it was not.

...And I can't call out men (and sometimes, women. Though, I feel like lesbians tend to be smoother and nicer about hitting on me) without calling out some of the absolutely HORRENDOUS pickup lines that I've used on people.

"Wow. This scene is getting awkward--wanna makeout?" No.words.

 "Oh my goodness. Did you just see that?!?!" Though, to be fair, a guy did drunkenly fall down the shorter flight of escalator stairs, so how can one not comment on something like that?

"You're a nurse...That's just so fascinating." I mean, helping people is great, but really, no. Pretty sure drunk E was just getting after it. Sorry!


What about you guys? What are the best/worst pickup lines that you've used/have been used on you?

Aka those shows that you'll only admit to watching with people that you feel somewhat close to, but never when you're first meeting someone. Not to be confused with the shows that EVERYONE"S watching, even if they're really bad. There's something about the 'hate watch' that feels so deliciously naughty, but is actually pretty mundane. So, below, behold, is my list. Shows: 1. Pretty Little Liars 2. Empire 3. Younger 4. The Vampire Diaries 5. Grey's Anatomy Now, I know that last show is somewhat controversial because a lot of you are probably saying, "Erika! That's a really popular show! How in the heck is that a 'hate watch'?" While others are probably saying, "Wait, Grey's is still on the air? I thought Shonda killed everyone off!" And see, my dear, that's exactly why it is a 'hate watch'.

Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room…

By far my most favorite cartoon from The New Yorker I know, I know! I realize that I’m the prodigal daughter that only comes home during Thanksgiving. And even then, she’s only there for a quick plate of food and to do a couple of loads of laundry. Oy vey! This year has FLOWN by and as you might remember there was a period there where I wasn’t super into writing. Remember ? Then, I’d start a post only to be distracted or unable to fully flesh out the idea. But! Here I am and ready to go full steam ahead. I feel like I can’t fully talk about 2017 (what?) without reflecting a bit on 2016. To catch you up, here’s what I’ve been up to this year: -Graduated from grad school - Started a new job - Went to countless concerts (actually, I can count, but doing so might be overwhelming) - Visited Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen                 - Made some new friends and saw some old ones - Said goodbye to a dear friend that moved back to Thailand - Got clo

Puffins, Seals, and Glaciers, OH MY!

Helloo all,    As some of you already know, and maybe some others have gathered if you follow me on Instagram (feel free to here ), I spent the week leading up to July 4th in Iceland! Not the most patriotic thing I've ever done, but it was certainly, capital D, different. I traversed a small bit of the island that is Iceland with four, mostly random people (a post for another time), and here are some of my takeaways. First of all, Iceland is ridiculously beautiful. I have said the following phrase to multiple friends of mine since getting back, but it has never rang so true in my life: I'm not an outdoorsy person, but Iceland brought it out in me and I see myself doing more active vacations in the future. I mean, just look at this:  Beautiful, right? What you can't see from this photo is the path leading up to the top of the mountain so that you can actually stand ABOVE the waterfall. Crazy. This was actually the SECOND waterfall we saw that day. The first waterfall
