I went EIGHT HOURS without the interwebz today. EIGHT HOURS Okay, honestly, it wasn’t that big of a deal. I think I went like 24 hours once. That was rough. There was also that time we got a blizzard, we were without electricity for 7 days. I would go into the work at the library …

I Know How Alice Feels
I am the strangest combination of deliriously happy with my life and angry as hell at society. I’ve done what any rational person would do while dealing with emotional confusion… I get on the internet and drown my emotions in pictures of kittens. I found some strange and wonderful things. Most things were just strange. …

Um, Yeah, that Thing
The awesome women at Rock the Slut Vote link Thursday’s blog, and it got some attention. I’m hoping because it resonated with people and not just because I sounded a little foam-y at the mouth angry. Oddly enough, I’ve gotten two conservative bloggers followers on Twitter. I don’t even know what that is about. So …

The It of It
Here is the it of it: I believe almost every woman in America has either been sexually misused or is close to a woman who has. I, myself, know more women who have been raped, molested, or sexually abused, than women who have not. We are full of rage. This isn’t even about abortion anymore. …

*Sputter* *Sputter*
Sunday, I think I actually started foaming at the mouth because of the Akin craziness. Seriously, I’m pretty sure my saliva glands started to overproduce, and I could feel the convulsions coming on. I went on the Twitter and spazzed out. I always spazz out on Twitter because it feels the most like I am …

Yeah, You Guys Should Make Fun of Me
So, I wasn’t at the Super Wal-Mart at 12:01 am last night/this morning to buy The Hunger Games. It was 1:30ish am before I actually went to the store. I was talking to the Viking, and I chose him over the movie. I chose him over The Hunger Games. I’ve only watched it twice.. The …

Sense of Self
We live in a society of self-loathing. There is a lot of profit in people hating themselves. There is something intrinsically wrong with nurturing a society who turns in on itself and focuses on what we hate and obsesses on how to fix it. We are told our bodies, our faces, our teeth, our goals, …

The Writing Process
I had decided that I wasn’t going to write about writing with this spurt of writing induced mania. Yeah, like that was going to happen. There are many writers out there that can write things they aren’t interested because it would sell. I forget all of the time that I am not one of those …

A Blog Primarily About Things I’m Not Going to Blog About
Here is my problem for today’s blog: everything heavy on my mind is shit that I really don’t think would make blogs I would want to write. I’ve been in an almost non stop writing frenzy until yesterday. I love it. I makes me feel energized and awesome. And tired, it makes me feel very …

The Scones
This isn’t a real blog entry. I just have an awesome scone recipe that was stuck on my fridge at peril of being lost at any second. I decided to put it here including my little changes. It came from some magazine. I don’t know which one. I do know there is a doctor in …
