Good News 4/20 Edition
Eerrrrrrrffffffff you guys. This week has been realllllly rough, in such a vague way, I can’t even explain it! You know that I spent Sunday (and a bit of Monday) throwing up and not being able to eat anything and having a terrible headache. Tuesday I tried to re-dye my hair and failed! It just…

Words and Phrases That Make Me Vomit In My Mouth
—
by
Why does everyone hate on “moist” so much? I have no problem with “moist” — the first image it drums up is the gleaming laminated cardboard of a Betty Crocker boxed cake mix, “Double Moist Funfetti Cake.” Mmm, moist. Sadly, I have sworn off the gluten because it makes me violently heave, much like…

Hello, My Name Is Meghan, And I Have Eyelid Dandruff.
—
by
Did you even know that was A Thing? Neither did I. I didn’t choose the high maintenance life. The high maintencance life chose me. Maybe it’s because, once upon a time, I scoffed at a commercial for some obscure beauty treatment or product. Past Meghan: *Scoff!* “Who needs that?” Then the vindictive forces within The Universe carried a…

God Is Punishing Me… With Puke
—
by
Let’s back this thing up. Over Christmas, you may recall, I found myself vomiting and suffering in the absolute extreme. I thought maybe it was a flu? Or a fluke. One of the two. It wasn’t the first time in my 32-year existence that I’ve been majorly ill on a major Christian holiday, but…

Good News! I Finished My Round Of Antibiotics, Now I Can Drink Again!
—
by
Hello, I’m alive! (…-ish) So I finished my last dose of antibiotics last night! That’s a week of antibiotics! Phew! You may recall that last week (when this picture was taken) I was pretty much dying of bronchitis and sinusitis. Well, I can breathe now! I’m still having WILD fever dreams, but I’ve been too busy…

Springtime in New York Is A Lie: Know Ye The Signs
—
by
There are some who will tell you that the weather in New York City is unpredictable. They are full of bullshit. It’s actually very easy to predict the change of seasons in New York City after you’ve experienced it a few times. For years, I promoted the idea that In New York, It Is Winter Until…

What’s In My Bag???? and, related: Does Anyone Care???
—
by
Without a doubt, one of the top most overdone posts in the world of Blogging and Vlogging is the “What’s In My Bag?” post. Yep, I’m dissing the bag post. I’ve been trying to cut back on the haterade (can’t drink it now anyway, I’m on antibiotics), but I have to be honest with you:…

It’s Porn, Bitches
—
by
UNTIL NOW, I’d never understood the desire to watch porn. Granted, my own experience with pornography in the traditional medium is very limited. Limited to side-plots on Law & Order: SVU and that one time in college after I’d just turned 18 (18!), when my friends and I attended an amateur drag show (drag show!) then piled…

A “Trip” To The Doctor
—
by
I am a lightweight. I always have been, and it seems like I always will be. Chemicals just hit me harder than most people. I’ve always know this. Medicines knock me out. Alcohol, as anyone who’s had to wake “1 glass of red wine Meghan” to send her home after she’s fallen asleep in the middle of…

Good News…Same As It Ever Was….
—
by
Ok. I’m freaking out. You’re freaking out. I just remembered what day it was and here I am, in front of all this uplifting *CoNtEnT* trying to justify it. I started doing this when I felt overwhelmed by the news. I guess keeping it up is most important when it’s hard. When you’re like,…

How I Learned To Love The Beatles
—
by
I wish this story wasn’t about a boy. I sincerely do. But it’s at least a little bit about a boy. File it under doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Sure, I’d always liked The Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’d played the records in my parents’ basement and danced wildly to “Oh! Darlin’” on…

Do It Cuz It’s Good For You, Keep Doin’ It Cuz It Feels So Goooood

by
Cross yourself and pray that this isn’t fake news, because research is finally saying all the right things, you know? First, a study out of Kyorin University in Japan suggests that eating ice cream for breakfast can improve mental performance. Details here. Why ice cream? The reason still isn’t clear, but do you really care? The…

Sensitivity, Sensitivity, I’m Just Loaded With THAT
—
by
A little over a year ago, I got the shock of my life when a dermatologist told me that I have “sensitive skin.” I’ve never been described as “sensitive,” like, ever. But when I think about it…yeah! I’m pretty much loaded with sensitivity. I’ve always had a sensitive stomach, that I know. I remember being a teenager and spending…

Symbolism Of Objects In Selfies
—
by
In classical portraits, the inclusion of certain objects would give the viewers a peek at the personality of the subject. We can stroll the halls of museums and understand much about the lives of those who sat for portraits by the symbolic inclusion of personal effects. Where selfies are concerned, the props being held…

FEELING: Well, tbh, I have the flu. The head/chest/cough kind! It’s deeply frustrating because I’m super busy with studio work, I’m working on exciting new projects, and the tours have been poppin’ off like wild lately! But you know me: I love having a purpose. Have you heard of ‘The Actor’s Cure’? It’s like,…

TWO DOGS!

“Participation”
—
by
I was in seventh grade when the movie Titanic came out. At twelve years old, my friends were all developing crushes on Leonardo DiCaprio, and they were obsessed with seeing the PG-13 film. It was so popular — too popular — and I refused to participate in the Titanic mania. I would finally watch the film four years later, and while it…

Good News! Obamacare Lives to Die Another Day! Also: PUPPIES!
Oh, HELLO! Well, this week has been a ride. Or, to be more specific, it’s been a roller coaster that climbs steadily up and up and up, higher and higher and higher, and then you puke your life out on the way down! Literally. My week had a lot of ups at the start: a great therapy…
