BUBBLE POP ELECTRIC

let joy into your hart (in case my very brilliant wordplay above didn't help you figure things out...) i'm joy hart, and i have no greater life goal than to be just as happy as buddy the elf. the prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. proverbs 10:28

Today was good because I didn’t fall during yoga and I ate a really good cookie. How was your day, internet??

[joyharts-blog]

That is the best possible day a Bo like you could have, if I do say so myself!

My day was mostly spent trying to vegan-ify as many recipes as possible.  My class was cancelled this afternoon, and I just went a little stir-crazy!  If you’d like to sample any of the goodies, let me know.

[elijahchristopherrose-blog]

Sorry, Joyful Noise. It’s been a rough couple of days.

[joyharts-blog]

Oh no, E.  

Is this because of those things the gossip blog was saying?  You know you can’t take those things to heart, okay?  You’re far too wonderful and beautiful of a person to ever let some mean things an anonymous person is saying about you (UNTRUE THINGS, BY THE WAY) hit your heart too bad.

[elijahchristopherrose-blog]

Hey. Hey, you. We’d be happy to help with like, your art mastery. It would be a safe space.

[joyharts-blog]

You typed without any capitalizations and that makes it sound like you’re not nearly as enthused about any of this as you could be!

But I’m all here for safe spaces.

[joyharts-blog]

Sooooo you know the cute ass Havapoo that's been at the shelter for a couple months now?

OF COURSE I DO!  Actually the purest of cinnamon rolls, if I thought I could handle more than one pup in my apartment right now, I would be adopting them so fast.

DID THEY GET ADOPTED OUT?  DID I MISS IT?  MY SHIFT STARTS IN LIKE FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!

I’m getting ahead of myself here.  

tl;dr: YES, I do.  What’s up?

[hamiltongossip-blog]

@perrymcintosh is a platypus.

[joyharts-blog]

CAN CONFIRM!

But he’s the most adorable platypus I know.

(And have you seen a platypus?  They’re ALL cute!)

Galileo is starting to get bored cooped up in the house all day long. He needs other people to play with besides me. If anyone wants to get together for a doggy play date, let me know.

[joyharts-blog]

MY PUP, NOELLE, IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS TO HAVE PLAY DATES WITH!  If the offer stands, we would love to join you, Toni.

I hope your into dogs with cotton-candy ears, because that’s totally the look my little bee is working right now.

[carolynflanagan-blog1]

Okay! I suppose there’s no harm in trying.

I’m afraid that I have a terrible blushing problem, and my entire face is as red as a Solanum lycopersicum. I’m glad that you like my face. I like your face.

[joyharts-blog]

I have total and complete faith in you and our secret handshake of awesomeness.

THAT’S NOT A BAD THING!  Blushing is arguably one of the cutest things a person can do with their face.  I’m very glad we like each other’s faces.

[antheaporter]

Alright, alright, I’ll be there. See you soon, cutie.

[joyharts-blog]

Oh, stop.  You’re the cute one!

[elijahchristopherrose-blog]

I am like, so completely still reeling from that epic beyond all epic proportions bake sale yesterday. Which has like, totally got my wheels turning. Does anybody want to join me in starting a Baking Club? I mean, I’m sure we could find some time for it! But seeing so many awesome bakers come together for the cause made me feel so inspired. Who is in? #bakeyourpansoff

[joyharts-blog]

I’M STILL TRYING TO MASTER THE ART OF BAKING DELICIOUS VEGAN GOODIES BUT YOU KNOW I’D BE HAPPY TO SIGN UP FOR THIS!

[f1nnhuds-deactivated20180324]

I’m sure he likely didn’t, but it was still ignorant enough to get me going.

No problem, I figured if I was going to bitch someone out I might as well be kind enough to be informative about it to the rest of the world to maybe stop them from being so ignorant.

[joyharts-blog]

Well, I’m sure that traveling all day as it was couldn’t have done, like, wonders for your mood or anything in the first place, you know?

Hopefully they’ll take a few notes from that, and you won’t have to worry about it as much in the future!  Even if people are probably always going to be asking silly questions - but helping to make sure people are educated is, in my opinion, one of the best things you can do to help them out!

[carolynflanagan-blog1]

I’ve never had a secret handshake before. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be any good.

What?! No, my face isn’t nice. My plants are nicer.

[joyharts-blog]

THERE’S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!  We can make it easy, promise.

Your face is very nice.  I’m sure your plants are lovely, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be as well!

[antheaporter]

What time do you want me to come over?

[joyharts-blog]

I’m at the shelter for another, like twenty-ish minutes, and you can swing by after that!  Hope you’re ready, because I’ve got the Mary-Kate and Ashley marathon totally locked and loaded and ready to go.

[carolynflanagan-blog1]

Oh, wow! Thank you! I love your hair. It reminds me of a Hydrangea. Lovely. Maybe it does make us a part of a secret club. It could certainly seem that way, given that we have to attend different restaurants. 

Hello, Joy! I like your name.

[joyharts-blog]

THANK YOU!  I’ve honestly never heard that comparison before, but I love it.  I usually just hear bubblegum and cotton candy!  So, should we come up with a handshake?  Because I’m kind of very into that!

Thank you!  I like your face.

[joyharts-blog]

@beapierce: Did you perhaps mean you SEA what I did there?

😘

@joyharts: THAT'S ACTUALLY EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT. MY PHONE REVOLVED AGAINST ME. :(

@joyharts: It is urchin that I resolve this with a proper pun.

[gretchenmcintosh]

Do they not have vegan Girl Scout cookies? I’m sure Perry can whip you something up. Especially the fucking peanut butter ones. Like, I always feel like I need a cigarette after I binge on those. Anyway, most of it was regarding how overrated the thin mints are but a reference to Stalin was involved. It was a “had to be there” kind of tangent.

I’d prefer not to see them, admittedly, but I do miss New York. Thanks, though! If I get it, I’ll have tons of city vlogs. And an apartment if you want to crash for vacation purposes.

[joyharts-blog]

I don’t think they do, but rest assured I will be hitting up Perry to make this happen, like, pronto.  AND I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!  I found these vegan peanut butter cups this one time, and I basically polished off the whole bag in, like, one night.  OOPS.  But also not oops, because super worth it.  But that’s... kind of confusing, so... yeah, you probably had to be there.  I do hear people talk about thin mints a lot though, so them being overrated doesn’t sound like much of a stretch.

THAT WILL BE SO EXCITING FOR YOU!  My fingers and my toes are crossed for you, Gretchen.  Good luck!

[gretchenmcintosh]

I had my phone interview for the New York Times’ internship that I applied for and, apparently, even though I managed to go on a tangent about the politics of Girl Scout cookies, I was impressive enough to move on to the second round. Of course, this means having to decide if I want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a hotel or brave my parents’ house. This is the real Sophie’s Choice.

[joyharts-blog]

GRETCHEN, THAT IS SO EXCITING!  I’m kind of curious what exactly the politics of Girl Scout cookies are, though.  I’ve never actually had a Girl Scout cookie, but everyone seems to love them and the Girl Scout troops are adorable.

CONGRATULATIONS, THOUGH!  Your parents would probably be really happy to see you.

[antheaporter]

Most people change their opinions of me when they get to know me, so I’m kind of just expecting it at this point. Friday… I’m free on Friday.

[joyharts-blog]

I’ll see you Friday, then!
