Okay, here are a few problems. I have been bitten by every bug in central Oklahoma and mobbed by every speck of pollen. The pollen came carrying clubs because pollens are assholes. I had to consume copious amounts of antihistamines so I don’t scrape off all of my skin with my razor sharp switch blade …

The New “F-Word”
Okay. okay, hold on to your hats cats and kittens, we are about to have another feminist rant. This spawns from a Facebook thing between the lovely women at Rock The Slut Vote and another well written fellow feminist Wendy Gittleson, who wrote a blog about the use of the words slut and vagina. She …

Challenge Accepted
Saturday my friend Sara O’Flaherty challenged me, along with several others to do a “who am I” meme blog. I thought it would be fun to accept. I’m thirty years old. There were earthquakes on my birthday. It was a sign that this decade is going to be sheer awesome. I’m a writer and handler …

It’s Really Not Complicated
For obvious reasons, I have been thinking about love a lot lately. There are so many kinds in my life. Some I’m good at; others I still have a lot to learn about. I’m enough of a dirty touchy-feely hippie to think that love is a gift. I believe we should love as many different …

Things I have Learned on the Internet
I’m a creature of the internet, and the internet is full of many many lessons. Everyone is a moron, aside from you. Sometimes this feels very true, like when you see people arguing against evolution or global warming. There are so many times that I want to tell people that they are wrong and outline …

The Brain, It Hurts.
I was texting with the Viking earlier while he was helping his Tina fix stuff. (Yes, the Viking can fix things, AND he promised to teach me to weld. Score!) I told him he was good people and being good people was highly undervalued now. [Okay, I’m going to pause here for a second to …

Listen Up, Bitches!
Okay, my pretties, it is time for us to have another talk about that dreaded feminism thing. I assume that anyone who reads this regularly is either a feminist, loves a feminist, or is a masochist that likes to read terrible rants about gender issues, so I’m not going to outline why we need to …

Fear
I’ve learned that it is far easier to love someone than be loved. For me, the act of loving someone is simple and comforting. Showing kindness and warmth is rewarding. Wanting it from someone else is scary as fuck. I don’t understand how that works, but it is just how I am. I guess if …

I should probably stop talking now
Everyone gets songs stuck in their head. I happen to also get random phrases. Sometimes a sentence or phrase will stick in my head and I will have it randomly cycling through my head all day. It becomes part of my brain’s screen saver. Most of the time, it is pretty innocuous, but sometimes they …

Spin
I’m not alone in having a soundtrack for my life. There are several musicians that I’ve written about like Ani Difranco, Amanda Palmer, Liz Phair, Karen O, and Florence and the Machine that keep circling in my life, but Kathleen gave me a new singer to add to the vagina squad of awesome: Ane Brun. …
