About
Kelly michelle is the name. I just moved to Buffalo, NY after finishing up an undergraduate degree at SUNY Fredonia in contemporary history and museum studies. Talk to me, I'm nice most of the time. I'm most likely down to see that movie you're trying to get people to go to. I'd love to help you on your paper on the USSR.

Best spoof I have seen yet.
This Is Funny, You Should Watch It of the Day: Can’t be bothered to spend two hours in a hot box full of moist preteens perpetually screaming at the top of their lungs, but still want to know what all the sparkling fuss is about? Jack Douglass has got your back with a minute-long abbreviation of New Moon that covers all major plot points (or lack thereof).
Spoiler Alert: Twilight blows.

“For hours she danced and sang and flirted and did this thing that’s—she did Marilyn Monroe,” Avedon said later, adding that the white wine helped things along. “Then there was the inevitable drop … she sat in the corner like a child, with everything gone.” And he clicked his shutter once more. “I wouldn’t photograph her without her knowledge of it. And as I came with the camera, I saw that she was not saying no.” The resultant final frame is among the most famous portraits ever made—one that is, as the photographer Vik Muniz neatly put it, “a picture of Norma Jean, not Marilyn.”(via slackmo:iamchrysanthemum:exclamationmark:bunnysuit:jopiedevisboer)
This kind of breaks your heart a bit, yeah?
yeah, a little bit.
Which is more important: Tradition or Truth?
If you answered “truth”, then the following article on the real origins of Thanksgiving is for you. I get so fucking sick of reading about/hearing on the radio/seeing on television people regurgitation bullshit stories made up so long ago they have become public truth. But they aren’t real truth.
AND DON’T GET ME WRONG! I love my family, and thus I love Thanksgiving. I just think that to lie to people and educate people incorrectly for generations is injustice. The truth of Thanksgiving doesn’t ruin the holiday for me, it almost makes me appriciate it more. Because it was created by a woman, and it’s a wonderful tradition! So instead of lying about the Indians and Pilgrims sharing a meal that didn’t really happen, let’s celebrate Sarah Josepha Hale, for giving me a few days off of my hectic school schedule to help my mom mash potatoes and laugh with my cousins. Because I really do appriciate it.
Now without furthur ado, click the Read More for Elizabeth Plecks article “The Making of the Domestic Occasion: The History of Thanksgiving in the United States” Journal of Social History 32/4 Summer 1999 p. 773-789, which i copied from JSTOR, for those without student access anymore.
So my parents saw me dressed like this for years and then my mom acted surprised when I came out? pshaw. (That’s my little brother on the far left, me, and my two cousins Gregg and Shawn at the Endicott Pumpkin Festival in the 90s)
Things I’m thankful for, mushy I love my bf edition.
fun fact: I’ve never dated a boy who didn’t play guitar.
