Need to reach teenage girls that typically feel uncomfortable talking about being women? 

We partnered with mun2 to create a webseries, through crowd-sourcing and curation, about all the things Lateenas want to talk about but sometimes do not have the courage to discuss with their friends or family.

Dating Dangerously

I got this email today that I thoroughly enjoyed. I don't know that I would ever actually do any of these things on a date, but I won't deny that I thought that every single one of these things would be incredible to do. Especially #s 15 and 19. Now I'm just waiting for someone to go one these adventures with me.

1. go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
2. go to a major chain bookstore and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books
3. have her dress up as a ghost and you dress up us pacman. walk around downtown holding hands, and whenever anyone sees you two, pretend to be embarrassed, and run off screaming “wocka wocka wocka.”
4. create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen
5. dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering….”
6. build forts out of furniture and blankets and wage war with paper airplanes.
7. try and visit as many people as you can in one night and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can without them noticing.
8. go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
9. write a piece of fiction together. outside at a cafe. ask strangers when you get stuck.
10. dress to the nines, pretend to be married, and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
11. do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. have an unabashed good time!
12. in the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. bring a sun umbrella.
13. drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. with fake names.
14. go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. randomly cheer for both teams. eat lots of cracker jack.
15. go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things
16. walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras
17. with camera and pair of boots, make photo-log of a day in the life of the invisible man.
18. walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn
19. go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
20. rent a movie you’ve never seen before. set on mute and improvise dialogue.

Google Funny Things

I love Google. I can type in anything and magically get an answer. That's way better than asking some of my friends who couldn't come up with an answer to any question to save their lives...So I've been googling random stuff like whoa once a day, every day.

Today for my random google experiment, I typed in "funny stuff" which provided these classic links helping me waste the day away.

(One of my favorite things on this is probably 11. Hoff Rolling Hooga Hooga Ooga Chaka!)
* http://www.avclub.com/denver/articles/flight-of-the-falconater,34295/
(Because who can get enough of that Falcon kid)
* http://www.google.com/finance?q=funny%20stuff&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&tab=ge
(Because there is NOTHING funny about Finance)

Down the Rabbit Hole

For some reason, I really happen to like bands named after Rabbits (see: White Rabbits). So when I stumbled upon a new song called "Swim Until You Can't See Land", I was super pleasantly surprised to find out that it was by Frightened Rabbit. And imagine how happy I was to find out that Frightened Rabbit was from Scotland! New.Favorite.Band. While I'm actually only so-so about the rest of their album, I really liked this song.

I can't embedded it in the blog, but you NEED to check it out:

Dream a little dream with me...

I've been having terribly weird dreams recently. I'm not sure why either. Maybe it's because I have been falling asleep while watching TV. Or maybe because I'm taking an obscene amount of caffeine. Anyway, after the dream when Shaq ate me like a slurpee, I decided to chronicle my dreams. Here's the one from last night. If nothing else, it's entertaining.

me: awesome
that's good that you're working in the mean time
i had a really weird dream last night
or this morning actually
where for some reason, you and i and this guy called megan harney
and i carefully asked her how she was and she was talking about how she was terrible because she had just gotten her stomach pumped
and then i was like "oh geez i didn't know" and she said something like "sorry, i just assumed you did"
and then almost instantly i was on the phone with you
and i was asking about all the things that you were doing in your free time before work starts
Sent at 9:58 AM on Friday

me: and you were like "well i actually dont have any free time because im in Afghanistan right now"
and after i freaked out a little bit you said "yeah they're training me to be a legal spy"
and i said that i really wanted that job
Sent at 10:00 AM on Friday

me: but then i realized i was a spy for the Aamerican government and they had actually asked me to put you to a test to see if you could conceal that you were a spy
so when i coughed you changed your story to be like "haha like they would ever want me as a spy" and the govt bought it
but the agent in the background on my end was telling me that it was time to start my mission
and then you were telling me all about this fake paper work that you were doing although you didn't tell me it was fake
the line went dead
how sweet is that
