Get Out Of My House
Five Reasons a DiTaranto Christmas is the best there is:
Tree Decorating Tradition: Each year we wait to decorate the tree until both my sister and I have returned for the holidays. We lay out all the ornaments while mom sets the timer. We then try to trim the tree in record speed. Our 2009 record of 6 minutes still hasn’t been beat.
Baked Goods and Eggnog: This event is normally...
YOU GUYS

A Blanket Of Sleep Is Melting Across My Face
This past week has been bizarre. Being my last full week in Philly before leaving for a semester abroad, I was anticipating a lot of goodbyes. I guess I hadn’t really dwelled on it too much because the program really only lasts four months and I’ll be back in the city before the semester here is even over. Yet as the week went by and I saw so many friends for the last time before my...

Text Conversation With The Roommate
Michelle: You were in my dream last night. I went to a coffee shop and you were there but didn't know me LOL
Me: I officially lost myself in the world of coffee shops. It was a premonition
Michelle: It's your life
Me: I was just in a coffee shop
Michelle: Go away
gublernation:
If my dreams could be videotaped they would definitely be used to get me committed to the most highly secure insane asylum available
This is so relevant.

Quaker Hardcore
My roommate and I have been avoiding laundry like the plague which has resulted in us using t-shirts as pillowcases instead of washing our bed linens like normal civilized people.

“My dad usually calls me ‘Whit’ when he’s speaking to me. My...”
– My response when my roommate and I were talking about how our family members address us.
But, Internet
I try to write down all of my dreams. I’m not really sure why. At the moment I don’t have any plans of compiling and publishing them or doing some kind of massive research project on what’s going on in my psyche while I sleep at night. It just always seems like a good idea at the time.
The other day I attended an event at which I had a conversation with a woman about Temple...

We Have Lights And I'm Eating Cheese From A Bag
Once in high school my best friend, whom you see above, and I decided to show up at another friend’s house unannounced. Upon arriving there we found that she had stepped out so we waited in her bedroom. I don’t remember who first suggested it, but the two of us decided to hide in her closet and then jump out when she returned. The above photo was taken during our wait.
But you see,...
What American Accent Do You Have?
Your Result: The Northeast
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

87% Philadelphia
85% The Inland North
60% The Midland
58% The South

You're As Sweet As A Savannah Peach
One of my absolute favorite types of comedy is what takes place when something completely absurd is present and those responsible for the oddity in question do nothing to acknowledge it. Some examples of this are as follows:
During the 2000 Academy Awards Matt Stone and Trey Parker showed up in womens evening gowns and whenever they were asked by reporters about their attire they completely...

I Don't Like That Song
Sometimes I’m really enthralled by the entitlement people seem to have over the lives of those that they do not know. I’m talking specifically about celebrities in the media that decide to step outside of the domain they built a name for themselves in to try their hand at another craft, and how the rest of the population somehow get PERSONALLY ANGRY that this person attempted a...
