January is DONE

Month three of my experiment is finished. I have learned many many things like I am a terrible person. I started out trying to write a witty month of the silly resolutions that I would make but would never keep, but as I wrote each one I realized I could modify them into a more …

Wtf is a Ke$ha, a G6, and a Snookie?

I realize how terrible uncool I am. In some ways I am actually sort of proud of this. I turn the radio station to the pop music cool kids station and I am generally like “what the frel is this crap?.” The only reason I have heard Katy Perry’s “Kissed a Girl” is because I …

Julia Child was Freakishly Tall Like Me

I have been cooking since I was fairly young. My mom thought it was important that my sister and I knew how to feed ourselves if she was gone for whatever reason so she started teaching us to cook in the microwave as soon as we could hit the buttons. (Just so you know, microwave …

Just Smile!

I have mixed feelings about today’s resolution: to be more positive. I don’t think I am an overly negative person. I honestly believe most people are good and care about other people, I just think they were not taught empathy. I think most of the rudeness and inconsideration in our modern society is caused because …

Giving Back

So when it comes down to it, I am a bit of a bleeding heart. The ASPCA commercials have made me cry and the images of the kids with flies around their eyeballs rip my heart to shreds.  Deep in my soul I have a desire to do good. If I can afford it I …

A Place For Everything and Everything in It’s Place

Over my nearly three decades on the planet earth I have come to accept things about myself. I am awkwardly loud, I will always be very noticeable, I should never wear heels, and I am just not an organized person. I have a deep burning desire to be an organized person. I enjoy organizing things …

Oh Hai There

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but I am a terrible person. I say this for several reasons like I don’t care much for cats (I think they plot how to kill you in the event that you stop being of use to them), I laugh at wildly inappropriate things, I don’t believe …

Well Read or Pretentious Ass?

My freshman year of college I took a basic psychology class and the professor asked us how we would define insane. When she asked us if straying far from the norm made us insane the class foolishly agreed. She then told us that less than ten percent of adults have more than ten books (not …
