Liberty Bell.

Ever since I saw the movie Juno, I have been obsessed with the name Liberty Bell (I'm also fond of the abbrev. LB). I try to name everything Liberty Bell (i.e. friend's babies, dogs, plastic cups...anything!). Well, next month I am actually going to see the REAL Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. It looks beautiful.

Rockstar Summer.

I had an amazing summer, here are some of the highlights I never want to forget…

1. British men @ Brits.
2. "Get up and shake the glitter of your clothes…"
3. Grandma's Marathon - giving ME, JG & AL marker tattoes.
4. Playing shuffleboard in Loring Park with RB and later dodging his kiss.
5. Helping rewrite blind date's New Year's Resolutions b/c I thought he could do better…
6. The Vault with JB.
7. Making origami flowers before the fireworks with JB, TO and laughing with cool kid and his mom.
8. Stellas: "Have you met my friend, E?"
9. Bevin (enough said).
10. "I gotta feeling…tonight's gonna be a good, good night."
11. Snow cones and Bret Michaels with JB. "I think he's probably a really nice guy…just misunderstood."
12. Bachelorette Party on an old-fashioned firetruck, "Shorty got 911.."
13. Mpl Institute of Art and learning how to drive a stick-shift with BL.
14. Family vacation to Okoboji (also, Boji nightlife with JS, ha!).
15. Outdoor 3-D Movie Extrvaganza: KL using port-a-potty, police officer finding cell phone.

Astrid Sweater

My, oh, my...I am loving everyone's version of J.Crew's Astrid sweater.

The Hills

I am sooo excited about the next season of The Hills. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from seasons past...


1. "You know what you did…you KNOW what you did."
- Lauren to Heidi during their confrontation at Les Deux

2. "Abby, Abby, Alex, Allison, Allison, Bambi, Britney, Blonde Britney, Vegas Britney..."
- Lauren reading Brody's contact list on his phone

3. "You should put up some signs."
- Justin Bobby after hearing Stephanie Pratt's concern that Spencer violated the family rule of 'call before you take off, and call when you land.'

4. "Homeboy wore combat boots to the beach."
- Lauren talking about Justin Bobby as she consoles Audrina

5. Lauren: "He thinks I like him."
Audrina: "He thinks you like him?"
Lauren: "Seriously, I never wanted to stab myself in the eye more."
- In the Les Deux bathroom.

Dumped!
