God Hates You
I don’t believe in God. I don’t think there’s any compelling evidence that God exists. I find it scientifically improbable that there is a ruling force to the chaotic universe we live in.

How [NOT] to Get Well Soon
Hey everybody, I’m sick! Yes, ‘still.’ In fact, I’ve been sick for this entire year (and then some)! I’m afraid it’s GCD – Generic Coughing Disease. GCD first broke out as an epidemic sometime around 2001, during the peak of my obsession with Les Miserables (“Oh, Fantine…”) and the release of Moulin Rouge. Generic Coughing…

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…
