your heart's on fire but you're cold to the touch


My name is Denise Ngo
On paper, I am a 22 year-old Fordham graduate in search of a job and a life, and exploiting her parents' generosity by living in New York City without having either. This blog documents what happens off the page, and outside of resume bullets and cover letters.

Brilliant! The whole, “Gay marriage is a gateway to marrying ducks” argument is ridiculous. It’s one thing to not agree with homosexuality; it’s another to put the lifestyle on par with bestiality. Fine, be convicted, but don’t be cruel about it.

Erm.

Flippin’ Fordham would probably be at the bottom. Pretending that sex doesn’t happen doesn’t actually discourage students from having it. Many get diseases in the process, thanks to the lack of resources/testing/contraceptives available.

They finally told me I could tell you the news. I’m gonna host Saturday Night Live. WHAT?

I’ve known for a couple months now. Wasn’t allowed to tell anybody. Still wrapping my head around it. Hard to believe it’s happening. I know it sounds cliché, but I really have watched that show ever since I was a little little kid, and it really does occupy a unique place in my big picture. thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I’m still not exactly sure what/how hitRECord/tumblr/vimeo/everyone can play a part in my NY experience that week. I imagine something will work itself out. Got any ideas?

more to come…

Yay! He’s adorable! <3

My Queens --> Manhattan Morning Commute Playlist

My morning commute playlist consists of tracks that are either super catchy/energetic, or totally brainless. Most of what I listen to while staving off early bired fatigue requires very little focused appreciation. Think of this playlist as caffeine in auditory form. It’s dubiously nutritious, but it does the trick, and I love it for that.

The Wombats - Let’s Dance to Joy Division
(at the top because this has been my wake-up song for the last year and a half, and I’m still not tired of it)

KE$SHA - Tik Tok

Sean Kingston - Fire Burning

Sean Kingston - Take You There

Phoenix - 1901

Pixies - Here Comes Your Man

Alphabeat - The Spell

Calvin Harris - Ready For the Weekend


Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad

Leighton Meester - Somebody to Love


Mariah Carey - Obsessed

Cascada - Evacuate the Dance Floor

Jet - Cold Heart Bitch

The Maine - I Must Be Dreaming

Badly Drawn Boy - Something to Talk About

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

21st Century Life - Sam Sparro

Private Eyes - Hall & Oates
*obligatory dorky entry

Never - Heart
*see Hall & Oates

Merry Happy - Kate Nash

Hilariously pervy Asian commercial. I don’t think companies here in American could get away with airing something like this.

“Watch this 100 times, and you’ll still laugh”

Call it a sign of my degenerating intelligence, but I really did laugh hysterically after watching this video.

SIGNS OF AGING: These pictures were taken almost exactly four years apart (the first was was actually taken four years ago to the day).

sometimes i watch The Motorcycle Diaries and think how much better it would be if it was just me and Gael Garcia Bernal hanging out and eating tacos and drinking a whole 32 pack of Tecate and then MAYBE we’d make out a little. and then laugh it off. and then do some shots of rum. and then MAYBE make out a little more.
there, i said it. god i feel so much better now.


YESSS, COMMENCE LADY BONER IMMEDIATELY.
