Just remembered this from my visit to the dentist
Dentist: So how long ago did you move to Austin?
Lacey: August 2008 - so about 7 months ago
Dentist: Oh ok, well that's good. How old are you?
Lacey: I'm 24.
Dentist: Well a cute girl like you should have no problem meeting a guy in Austin.
Lacey: Oh well actually I have a boyfriend, but he lives in Baton Rouge
--------------------------thinking back to this conversation, I should have replied with this instead...
Lacey: Yeah, especially after you slap those braces on!

Braces chat
Megan: its not that bad... i had them in middle school
Lacey: yup, no offense, but middle school is the perfect time socially to have them
Lacey: also your parents pay for them when you're that age
In case you don't read my twitter...
… I will be getting braces in a month or two at the ripe age of 24. I’m ready for all the jokes. Bring ‘em! Here are some I’ve thought of myself:
Lace face becomes Brace face!
“Hey Lacey, what did you give up for Lent?” “Not having braces”
While you a-holes are taking vacations, I’m spending $6000 to make myself look more like I’m 12...

Game On!
elizablr:
So I signed up for a “super social” softball league.
About me: I am not athletic, at all. Well, I was a cheerleader and on the tennis team. I can look cute, wear a skirt, and on occassion, hit a ball with a big flat racket.
The last time I played softball, I was probably 8 and hated the tight pants, the fact that we had to pull our socks up to our knees and was the girl in the right...
Guilty
For some reason, when I’m put in situations where I’m perfectly fine/innocent but it’s someone’s job to question that - I make myself out to be guilty. For example, at most Walmarts they have a greeter that doubles as a receipt checker to make sure you didn’t shoplift anything. Everytime I pass that person, I try to avoid eye contact and push my basket faster as if I...
Uhm...
My company just laid off a bunch of people today - 1 from my department. I was one of the last people hired - can you imagine how nervous I am right now?
New Orleans - Couch/floor needed
roadtrip2009:
We’re getting ready to tie up loose ends for our trip and our last big thing to set straight is a place to stay in New Orleans. We’re looking for a couch or floor to crash on for a night or two.
Let us know if you can help us out!

They are staying with me when they come to Austin, but they still need a place for New Orleans....

I broke down and got one. Not going to lie, I am hoping to somehow meet Shaq.

I found this buried in the comments of Sydney’s tumblr and it made me lol because I do weird shit in my sleep that I don’t remember. Jake could probably write a book. His favorite is when I had been completely in sleep zone of snoring and such for hours and I turn over and say...
WE NEED TO DO AN AUSTIN MEET-UP ALREADY
seagull:
WHY HASN’T THIS BEEN DONE YET. Well there was that one at SXSW last year that was really for all the NY media people…. that doesn’t count. And I wasn’t there so you know it wasn’t a party. Hurr hurr.
ANYWAY LET’S DO THIS.
If you are interested, reblog or email me at dorkyturtle at gmail. Be sure to tell me what night of the week you’d prefer. A fancy MSPaint flier may happen if...
Taxes
jgh:
This is my first year of filing taxes on my own. Internet: do you use a tax service or software like TurboTax.com? How do you recommend an abstract thinker parse through the bean-counting?
I’ve used TaxActOnline.com the last 2 years - really easy to do and for a small fee they will file everything for you and get your return directly deposited in your account in about a week.

Hypothetical
You know what would suck? If on your 8 hour journey back to your hometown, you stop about 3 hours in to fill up the tank and get a diet coke, but as you walk out of your car you see a creepy looking guy so you lock your car. Then you realize you need something in your car and turn around, but see the keys are in your locked car.
So then, since you are in the middle of nowhere you have to call a...
