Buckle up, Buttercup! It’s the annual massive “best posts of the year” post! I’ve done it in 2012, 2013, 2014, and dang if it didn’t take me 1 2 3 4 tries but I did it in 2015, too. We’ve got 12 months to cover and a total of 165 posts this year to choose from (gosh oh golly) so let’s get moving before it’s actually 2017:
January:
I demanded that we stop hassling couples on their cell phones, debated whether feminists can love reality TV as much as I love reality TV, and told the true (read: embarrassing!) story of that time I catfished someone on the Internet.
This was also the month I started writing for Femnasty!
.
February:
I got a little romantic over Law & Order: SVU, waxed rhapsodic about staircases, spilled some tea about Twitter, and was personally thwarted by a deity.
.
March:
I taught you what makeup is (you’re welcome!), confessed to being a Millennial, made you promise me you’d never read the comments, and had to tell someone they were wrong.
This was also the month I started writing for BUST!
.
April:
I stopped using the word “crazy,” I was really annoyed at the things guys do on trains that we hate, and I went on and on about my love for ABBA’s Arrival.
.
May:
I was really busy in May, with my BUST internship, ghost tours, and therapy. I longed for the simple days of blogs, broke it to you that Disney ruined your chances of a happy love life forever, and penned this lovely ode to Janis Joplin and Pearl.
.
June:
I became obsessed with The Bachelorette, stayed obsessed with Carole King’s Tapestry, revealed the horrifying backstory behind your favorite childhood toys, and told you to get over these 5 things already.
.
July:
I was underwhelmed by Stranger Things, preached “if you can’t say something nice, DON’T write it on the Internet,” and pretty much listened to Double Fantasy on repeat a million times. Oh, and I turned 32.
.
August:
I went to Burning Man for the second time! I also grieved, went to the Museum of Ice Cream, and found the most hilarious sad-faced dog models on Amazon.com!
.
September:
I was still at Burning Man for part of the month, and when I got back, I missed it like fuck. I also worked my first election in September! And then I had the worst day ever, but I got through it.
.
October:
I learned how to cook eggs (and you can, too!), told you to get The Self-Esteem Workbook, seriously! I figured out the difference between “start days” and “finish days,” and I started my weekly GOOD NEWS series!
.
November:
What an awful fuckin’ month, huh? I managed to find reason to go on in cheese, #GreySweatpantsChallenge, and Cold War documentaries. Just don’t say I live in a “bubble,” alright?
.
December:
Busy month already! I sang at Strawberry Fields, put together some furniture, made some Netflix recommendations, and mourned the special place George Michael held in my heart. And we’ve still got 3 days left in the year! Congrats if you made it this far, treat yourself to some sprinkle cheese and reality TV. Thanks for joining me on this ride! I have a feeling 2017 is gonna be WILD!
