2015 in Review: First Quarter
JANUARY Adjusting to the New Job (1/22/15): “Most days I go home tired. Some days, I go home feeling like a total failure. I feel so defeated it’s hard to breathe as I walk to the subway. And some other days, things go so well that I feel like dancing all the way home. But…

The Man-Hating Feminist
So I was walking home from my doctor’s appointment two weeks ago, and I wasn’t even thinking about being sexually at all times for the general public’s enjoyment of my body, when HE appeared. My knight on a white horse! Well, it was actually a man driving a white truck, BUT THE POINT IS, I…

25 Pet Peeves
Oh, boy, did I unload here! Let’s get to it: Darling Stewie (that’s her blog name and me being jocundly affectionate) posted a list of 25 Pet Peeves as a “Doggy Bag” post! So I drank two Frangelicos, lit some incense, and purged my 25 biggest pet peeves out into this disasterpiece. It’s dark! Political! …

Change Inside & Out
Changing the outside doesn’t change the inside. I tell my parents this when they cluck over my tattoos. I want to say, “I’m still your daughter!” Just with more colorful packaging. I remember learning this lesson myself the hard way when I was dealing with disordered eating. If you hate the way you look, and…

How Do You Deal With Trolls?
Haters, to the left! It seems there are some people out there who never learned how to politely disagree with other human beings! And now that the Internet has made us a Global Community, people are able to voice their opinions out loud and proud for everyone to hear! Sadly, this also means that the…

Sunday Stealing: Big Bad Meme
Hello, Sunday Stealers! This week was, not gonna lie, brutal. I got a tetanus booster on Monday and my arm is STILL SORE. Things have just been down and not great lately, but they’re picking up and Look! I dressed up! I personally think I look like I’m playing Abigail in the community theatre production…

What Are Your Sick Day Must-Haves?
Ugh, you guys, I feel awful. It started with a crashing headache and nausea yesterday, now I can’t stop sneezing and I’m leaving a slime trail of boogers everywhere I go (which is to say, on my couch). I haven’t felt this wretched in so long, I forgot how to deal! So I’m taking it…

What Was Your Childhood Nickname?
Every adult who was ever a child has a story of how they got a stupid nickname. I wanna hear yours. When I was a teenager, my baby brother (we’re nine years apart!) called me “Castle-head” because I was tall and easy to spot in a crowd. Touchy tall teenagers do not like being called…

HORROR MOVIE TIME!!
Loathe as I am to even grant this video more views than it already has, I watched it yesterday through my fingers, with all the lights on, covering my mouth in advance of the vomit I felt rising in my throat. It’s less than six minutes long, but it’s the scariest horror movie you’re going…

What Are You Afraid Of???
Irrational fears: everyone’s got ’em. When I give ghost tours, I talk about hauntings and serial killers and people love it but heaven forbid a rat runs by, and they lose their shit!!! Rats are just squirrels with bad haircuts! Rats are a totally irrational fear – leave them alone, and they won’t bother you!…

Let’s Talk About Periods, Okay?
Halloween is just around the corner, and everyone is abuzz talking about horror movies, so why not talk about my favourite horror of all time? Yes, I just equated periods to horror movies. They are kind of the same, aren’t they? You like the idea of them, but still get grossed out by all the…

Hoban Washburne from Firefly sorry if you didn’t see the movie, but this happens, and it’s DREADFUL. Funny story: after seeing the movie, I had pizza at John’s of Bleecker, and…

Aspects of Burning Man That Terrify Me But Oops, Too Late Now
ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE. By the time you read this, I will have been living out of a tent for five days, caked in alkaline dust, and peeing in Port-A-Potties exclusively (if I’m lucky): FEAR NOT! I’m not writing this missive from a past alternate dimension to prevent the apocalypse from happening (though if…

FEELING: Lost. Pressure is on now to find a job while my life has stabilized and I’m not running off to the desert for weeks at a time (Hi! Still out there! Sincerely hope as I write this I’m not crawling in bugs and pooping in a bucket!). I really have no idea where to…

Street Harassment Selfie
To everyone who actually buys that myth that looking “too hot” and walking alone late at night on the street is the reason women get harassed: below is a picture I snapped of mysself less than 50 feet from where, on Sunday, March 22nd at 5:57pm, a strange man brushed himself against my arm as…

Kill the Poor
When I quit my dead-end retail job to pursue the goal of becoming a teacher, I knew it would be hard. That’s why I didn’t leap at the dream the first time around. This year, I was offered a job that would put my foot in the door to achieving my dream. And as predicted,…

In Cold Blood
The Golden Rule is: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” The Golden Rule of the Internet is: “If you can’t say something nice, at least say something funny.” That in mind, I would like to declare that In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is like the worst murder mystery ever…

#tbt The Least-Super Model
My mother sent this article to me, clipped from a local magazine. The year is 2006, and despite a deep-seated self-loathing that the photograph conveys, I have volunteered myself to model for a local photo-feature. Does this image not make you cringe? The forced, uncomfortable smile barely peeking through a wall of hair, one arm…

Does Not Compute
well, it’s happened again. last summer, my laptop was reduced to a useless piece of machinery by lack of a charge cord. earlier this week, almost a year to the day later, it simply refused to turn on. I hve to wonder if the “robots” in my life just know what’s best for me and…
