#ThrowbackThursday: Baby Donk's Birthday

Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday! I've been feeling nostalgic about this year since it was exactly a decade ago that I was Bat-Mitzvahed (#jewstatus). To commemorate this special day I'd like to share a diary entry from my birthday 10 years ago. It's a doozy!

Movies That Weren't That Bad

The following movies were rated ridiculously low by critics. However, they were all movies I wanted to see so I went ahead and watched them anyway. Were they the best movies ever? No. But they weren't that bad...

You and your boyfriend must have spent hours chatting on Facebook chat. And Facebook chat is SO smart that they always post people you talk to most right at the top. How convenient. Until you break up. Then you get to stare at his face (whether he's on or not) and be miserable. And obsessive. Thankfully, you don't have to put yourself through this.

Will You Be My Girlfriend?

Let's be real. Nobody says this anymore. If your relationship began because a guy said to you "will you be my girlfriend" then you either have the most awkward relationship ever or you are in middle school. Nowadays you somehow just end up in a relationship and sometimes you're not quite sure how you got there. Or maybe you're trying to be in a relationship but you have no idea how to go about it without sounding ridiculously cheesy. Here's how I've seen relationships just pop out of thin air:

TV Review: Arrow

I loved Smallville on the CW and was sad that it came to end. When I heard that the CW was tackling another DC Comic book hero, I was skeptical. After much consideration I decided to give Arrow a chance and I was not disappointed.

The Day I Learned To Ride A Bike

Picture it. You eye that fresh new bike. There's no training wheels on it so it makes you nervous... but you're also pretty excited. Today is the day you enter society and get to participate in the saying "It's just like riding a bike." You look to your supporters.

An Ode To Tom Hanks

Disclaimer: Things are about to get weird.

I love this man. He has brought so much joy to my life. He is consistently good in everything. He can do comedy, drama, animation, parody, etc. My love for Tom extends irrationally. For example, I love everything Colin Hanks is in (even though he's not a very good actor) just because he is Tom's son. I saw Larry Crowne even though it was painfully obvious that it wasn't going to be a good movie. I read The Da Vinci Code because he stars in it! The man is planning on playing Walt Disney! Only a true genius loved by all can pull that off.
