The cupcake thing is so Yonge/Eglinton… ;)

What amazes me is that people are willing to shill out the crazy amounts of money for a cupcake! Yes, it’s pretty and all, but it’s basically a fancy Twinkie. (Then again I’m the type who really enjoys baking so find the whole idea of buying desserts kind of crazy.)

Just to show that I’m not totally immune to marketing, I’ve fallen in love with the Anti-Shoe and don’t care how much they cost – they look amazingly comfortable! http://www.swissmasai.com/CountrySelection.aspx

I’ll take the legroom and bring my own food (even though I am lacto/ovo). With a 36 inch inseam I don’t even want to talk about how fun even exit row seats are…add my dad next to me at 6 foot 8+ who can’t even put the tables down and it is awesome.

Of course, I have also perfected the glare when they ask about my knitting needles- as if I would stab someone with knitting needles, I need those to knit with.

Just be sure to build the school away from that awful Holiday Inn, Cambodia.

(Let’s see if anyone gets that.)

In other news, I can’t believe you’re only 5′4″. We’re so playing basketball sometime.

It’s a proud day when I get to say I helped to build a school in Cambodia *and* I made Naomi’s top-10-awesomeness-list! So I’ll celebrate that and ignore the small thing about the porn-pushing twitter boo boo…

@ Vandy — Dude! Y’all made cupcakes! I wonder if we could have a virtual cupcake contest. That would be killer. Or a virtual bake sale. Hmm…

@ Michelle — If you do come, make sure to ask for a whole can of coke on the plane. :)

@ Joel — Dude, I am totally bringing you to SXSW with me, just to dare you to ask for the rest of that guy’s Coke. That would be killer.

Damn it, now I want some of those cupcakes. How much is a flight from Oklahoma to Ontario?

It doesn’t make me want to open a cupcake shop, but it does make me want to learn how to make buttercream frosting…

And hells yes on the Cambodia school! That’s awesome! Mega congratulations!

What a fantastic way to celebrate the “Back to School” season. Big congrats, Naomi. This is very exciting.

By the by, when you buy coke on an airplane (not that kind of coke…) you can just smile and inform the steward that you’ll be taking the whole can. I’ve never been met with resistance.

I’ve yet to screw up the courage to ask for the rest of that guy’s can of coke.
