The problem I have with the Blue and Grey Cafe.

This post takes precedence because Sevde responded with this:

I feel like there’s not a large variety in the B&G.

Let me start by explaining the Blue and Grey Cafe for those of you who only know me in cyberspace or simply don’t go to my school. It’s a grab-and-go eatery conveniently located in our union building. If you don’t know what a union building is, familiarize yourself with college lingo and come back. I don’t have time for these shenannigans. Anyway, blue and grey are our school colors, and grey conveniently rhymes with cafe, so I can only imagine that’s how some genius concocted the name.

To address Sevde’s comment, holy dear God almighty they have no variety at all. The only reason I can stand it at all is because it’s where Starbucks is housed.

BUT that actually was not the pet peeve it’s created for me.

My pet peeve is, (drum roll please) how my friends will text me and say, “meet at the blue and gray.”

Yep. That’s it.

Why does this bother me, you may ask.

Welp, gray is not our school color. It’s not the name of the eatery.

Gray is a mixture of red and brown.
Grey is a mixture of black and white.

They. Are. Different.

And no, this shouldn’t bother me. I’m just neurotic.

Things I’ll be blogging about…soon.

You can tell me what you’d like to see first. Or not. You’ll see all of this in the coming days..or hours..because it amuses me.

  • Why I dislike the “like” button
  • My subsequent pet peeve surrounding the Blue and Grey Cafe (which is a grab- and - go eating arrangement at my school)
  • How I fell in love with Lolita…or what I remember of that process 
  • A poem…because my creative endeavors have been suffering 

I’ll add to this list if I think of something else.

"The phases of our lives have become strangely blurred, as girls try to look like adult women and adult women primp and preen and work out like crazy in order to look like girls. Once again we find ourselves in fairy-tale territory, but instead of the jealous queen, it is the MILF who is gazing in the Magic Mirror, competing with her daughter to be Fairest of Them All."

More butts.

what..what…what is going on?

I’ve noticed this blog is significantly shifting toward a majority of feminist or otherwise activist posts. I’ve had multiple people suggest I make a strictly feminist blog, or shift this blog to meet the feminist blog agenda. While that might be fun…I’m not sure if I’m up to it. I really like the idea of a personal blog, where I gather and share my interests — and that’s what this serves as. And really, that’s all I need. 

I also don’t like the idea of taking tumblr too seriously. I don’t want to consistently blog about the injustice throughout the world. Sometimes I just want to blog a picture of a cat. 

In case you’re still with me (or you’re new here), let me give you the run-down of my interests. READ: if you follow me, these are the things you’ll be seeing on your dash, more or less. 

  • Cats. Caffeine. And otherwise nerdy antics.
  • Feminism
  • Education
  • Nature
  • Literature, poetry, and the occasional book review
  • Student woes
  • The occasional otherwise personal post
  • #condescending english major
  • #pet peeves 

Not necessarily in that order and definitely not of equal consistency. 

Let me know what you’d like to see more or less of, and I may or may not take that into consideration based on whether or not I like you.
