A few of the hilarious, sad, insightful and clever things I’ve come across the web this week:

What would your fashion blogger name be? The Cut’s name generator can help you find out. Mine is Je ne Sais Quinoa. (NY Mag)

The Simpsons inspired auto-correct, the plot of The Hangover and eight other popular phenomena. (Huffington Post)

I went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday—all sale items! I haven’t gone shopping like this in a few years! my old clothes have holes in them!—and it was at Ann Taylor Loft that I discovered the cool capsule collection Lou & Grey. Very hip, very New York, very lounge-y, very black, white and grey. (Loft)

There were many moments at the beginning of my time in San Diego that I felt friendless. And despite how much I’ve adjusted and acclimated, there are some days even now when I feel friendless. So when I saw a post by a woman in her late 20’s asking for advice on how to make friends, I was all ears. But as it turns out, this age is one of the hardest times in our lives for friendships. (NY Mag)

*Shameless Plug* Do you love The Princess Bride? Then you should check out the piece I did on 13 things you never knew about the cult favorite. (Yahoo)

    that thing on feeling friendless, i struggle alot although i have been in Dallas for almost 2 years. i moved countries, then moved to different states so its struggle to have friends who you can really visit whenever you want and do random little things.

      I’ve heard that 2 years is the magic number, so fear not. It all takes time, and I tell myself the same thing!

      I know how you feel—that weird in between phase where you still feel young yet not quite *that* young. It made me feel better to know that this is a totally normal and common emotion. Chin up…for all of us!

    My husband is a Marine, so we move all the time and it can be hard to make new friends — especially since I now work from home! But it usually happens eventually (sometimes right before we move again, ugh). I’m lucky, because a few people I was friends with in other places now live in the SD area. But it is really hard to really connect with new people!

    PS Apparently my fashion blogger name should be Cat-eyes and Chives. Love it!

      I’ve heard similar feelings from my military wife friends, and I imagine it’s not easy at all. Glad you came to a bit of a home base in SD!

      Now that I think of it, when I first met you, those are the two words that first came to mind. That name generator is so (not) on it!

    So my blogger name is cashmere and cauliflowers. Which is completely random (i think that’s the point). Also, I hate cauliflower.

    I loved the loneliness/friendless article too. I think we can all relate to that one at one time or another in our lives. Makes me want to make new friends all the time!
