I’ve never hidden the fact I’m a feminist. Well, okay, it took me awhile to come into my own and accept it. I had spent most of my life eschewing the label. I think this is fairly common for women my age, because we got indoctrinated with this strange discomfort with the idea of being …

Strange Disconnect
I have this strange disconnect between different parts of my life right now. It is like moods swings but more involved.on steroids, involving whole chunks of my personality. Parts of my life I love. The people in my life are wonderful. I’m in love with a wonderful man that most of my friends think is …

What We Think Other People Want
Here is the it of it: most of us care about what people think of us. We try to be what we think those who we care about want us to be. Even people who have accepted their social awkwardness, like me, still care about what those we love think of us even if we …

Oh, Hi There 2013
I know I’m supposed to write a blog about things I plan to do better this new year. I know what I need to better. It is the same stuff as ever, but resolving to change that never works, so I’m changing shit up. So here is my New Year’s resolution: Grab on to all …

Things I Do and Do Not Want to Talk About:
Do: I’m getting a Kindle. It is the very smallest, least model, but I’m still stoked. I know y’all don’t care, but this could signal another jump into modern technology. Who knows, someday I might even get a smartphone. Do: I have a date for New Year’s Eve for the first time in ever. If …

uuuuh
Okay, here’s the deal. I had a lady date with Tina last night. Turns out sangria is my arch nemesis. Everything I have to do today aside from blogging can and should be done after 10pm. I’m hung over as balls. It was totally worth it. I’m taking a nap. I might talk to you …

I Don’t Think that is How that Goes
I might have a had a little bit of an attitude problem today. By that, I mean I had a tremendous attitude problem today. I try my best to be upbeat and positive but sometimes I am pretty fail. Today I was gloriously fail. In my defense, I had to talk to people within ten …

With a Heavy Heart
I had promised myself I wasn’t going to write about the shootings in Connecticut yesterday, but it weighs too heavy on my heart. I have a lot of things I think and feel about what happened. Most everyone does. Sadness and horror and gut wrenching sympathy for the town of Newton pervade my thoughts. I …

Being Awesome is a Full Time Job
I don’t think it would surprise anyone to find out I was in a rut. It wasn’t a big drama rut, but I had a few months there of feeling the exact opposite of awesome. I was happy (except for that one really bad spell), but I was really down on myself. I think we …
