YBK: "But Wait...There's More" is my second choice for naming my band that I don't plan on ever forming...but if I did, I would.  so don't steal it. YBK:  First choice: "Hey you, get your damn hands off her" Ash:  is that from back to the future? YBK:  indeed Ash:  mine might have to be "arbitrary standards."  b/c i have a lot of them YBK:  not bad - but I have dibs on the two greatest band names of all time YBK:  pleased with your back to the future knowledge Ash:  duh YBK:  few things are more important to me

Ashley:  so you band-wagoned it with the caps [game] last night? Nate: yes.  when you live in the district, you have the right to bandwagon Nate:  you and [Guitar Boy] -- no dice on bandwagoning Ashley: i am anti-bandwagon Ashley: you know me, with my arbitrary feelings about things Nate:  is it just sports? Ashley:  um, not exclusively.  but maybe more strongly. Nate:  if only you could export some tribe-caliber excitement into other areas Ashley:  i know, seriously.  i'd be unstoppable.

Ash:  did you do the meeting [with the famous designer]?? Libby:  no but i met Ash:  and?  i read about her once in vanity fair.  i wasn't hugely impressed.  you know, b/c she was famous first and THEN decided to be a designer. Libby: i was like ehhh.  nice to meet you.  i didn't act that impressed, because i wasn't. Ash:  it's like, your dumb shoes aren't all that Libby:  right.  like i'm going to cry with delight or something.  Whatevs.  she has some super cute stuff though.  caftan WANT Ash:  now, had it been lilly pullitzer... THEN you would have been PUMPED Libby:  yeah that would have been awesome

Ash: whyyyyeeee do you have [If U Seek Amy] as your status message?  not okaaaaaay Cherie:  i love that song now Ash:  what?!?!?!?!?  it's the worst! Cherie: its soooo clever!  u dont think so? Ash:  NOOOOOOOOOOO.  it's awful and sad and pathetic Cherie:  did u ever like [Britney]? Ash:  don't get me wrong--i'll dance to some of her songs, and i have a handful on my ipod.  but the fact is it really has nothing to do with her.  she doesn't write them. Cherie:  she doesnt write her own music? Ash: whaaaat? no!!!!! Cherie: oh i have no clue.  r u sure? Ash:  yes :)

Ash: you have to send that photo/description [of the intern in the tight ruched skirt] to http://dcinterns.blogspot.com/ Anon: i did.  DONE Anon:  oh.  update.  our interns saw her at [a hearing], sitting behind the dais.  as in she might NOT be an intern Ash: ??!!??!?!?!!?\ Anon:  right Ash: i would rather wear the same thing everyday than dip into my "club wear" Ash:  (though, as you know, i make it my business never to go to "clubs") Anon: [our] interns are worthless.  they think they are more important.  i am trying to get them to go learn how to run the hearing clock.  and they won't Ash:  ?! Anon:  HELLO i need you to know how to do this by Tuesday.  freaking GO over there and learn! Anon:  sorry yale law.

Nate:  link Ashley:  ok, that's not a good photo of W&M peeps.  this is bad PR. Nate: yes, it is.  someone needs a pr consultant!  get on it Ashley:  oh snap.  link Nate:  oh no Nate: knowing the thriller dance makes you cool, actually DOING it makes you uncool Ashley:  ding ding ding.  are you still watching this?? Nate:  nooo! Ashley:  omg, keep watching!  there are interviews with the people who chose to do it!  omg, there's a really uncool girl with a linguistics shirt on!!!!  HAHAHAHA Nate:  HAHAHA Ashley: are you watching? i can't do this alone!!!  "my mind went numb"  ???? Nate:  i can't watch! Ashley:  WATCH IT

Ashley: I just had to school Cara on how to spell "bourgsie" Ashley:  P-shaw Cecil: So sad, these commoners we surround ourselves [with].

Viv: i like people who know their shortcomings and figure out ways around them Ash: i am sitting here trying to think of my shortcomings Ash: i am loud Viv: loud is not a shortcoming Viv: loud is just a thing Viv:  shortcomings are like being late, or bad memory, or no follow through, or lying Ash:  omg, i am late Ash:  a lot Viv:  so am i Ash:  oh, i am a procrastinator Ash: i also have a fear of failure that i find stifling Ash: i'm on a roll! Viv:  procrastination is only a shortcoming if you don't get it done Viv: if you get it done, its just a style Ash: ooh, i like that! Ash: it is certainly my style Ash:  but, most of these [shortcomings] are countered with my sweet ass red hair Ash:  so it evens out

Ben J.: Also, for your blogging pleasure... Ash:  Okay, WHEN will the mascot search END!  It's over, people!  Col. Ebert was the last great attempt!  And the phoenix before it!  let it dieeeee Ben J.:  I remember a time when WM’s mascot was the Loony.   Ash: ?????  what does that mean? Ben J.:  It's not-PC and has to do with the fact that W&M owned the land that housed Eastern State Mental.  I'm sorry for even bringing it up.  I am ashamed. Ash:  Where you held meets… Ben J.:  Exactly.  Maybe just the Cross-Country team was known as the loonies? The whole thing could have been a story manufactured by the older guys on the team.  I was such an impressionable frosh.

T.Diddy:  Of course, I realize that you W&M peeps have issues with TJ. Nevertheless... Ash: this is really cool!  although i'm not sure what you mean by "issues." :-p Anne: wow - that was amazing. but they really should have mentioned W&M. Ash: A glaring, if singular, flaw. T.Diddy: right.  no "issues" here...

Ash:  clip of the day Ash:  yesterday:  freak shows from Nanna. today:  PSA from Mom. Cara: ???????? Cecil: I’ve learned my lesson- kitchen fires can be deadly.  So can leaving french fries in the oven when you pass out from drinking too much. Cara: For the record... it was fake buffalo wings.
