On any other day of the year, I would have something very different to say about the topic of “looooove,” and it would probably be jaded and sarcastic because that’s my general attitude towards romance*. * But today is special! Forty-three years ago today, on March 7th, two people whom I looooove very … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Love
This past weekend I decided to say goodbye to my waitressing job. Despite the anticipated feelings of liberation and joy I thought I’d experience (something akin to running naked through a field of daisies yelling, “I’m free, I’m free!”), I felt remarkably sad. In fact, I’m tempted to call them now and say, “Hey, … Continue reading “Tangents are great” said the justification blogger
Something I learned this morning: Just as there is no greater motivator for productivity than a deadline, there is no greater push for walking speed than frigid temperatures. It was so bitterly cold this morning, I felt like my face might fall off. I’ve never walked to my office from the bus stop with … Continue reading Haggis for Everyone! A tribute to Scotland.
The title is a bit of a misnomer*. *particularly because at the time I wrote this, I actually thought it was Friday. I was referencing Virgin Australia Airlines, which is the airline I flew while traveling from Australia to New Zealand. For some reason–likely one of quality–I drafted this blog and never published … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Traveling with Virgins
I have a question for bloggers out there: How is it that those of you with day jobs find time to write? I was bad at blogging when I was unemployed, but now it seems impossible. My day job takes up my days, waitressing takes up my Saturdays (and occasional evenings), the gym … Continue reading A Serious Question For Bloggers (on Being a Hot Mess)

And this movement has the most horrid name I could ever imagine: “No ‘Poo.” No SHAMpoo, I get it. But ugh. Much to my surprise, there’s even … Continue reading I Tried To Go Without Washing My Hair and Failed
I think it’s time that I mention I have a new job. I was afraid to post a blog about it because the universe likes to snatch good things out of my hands as soon as I write about them. So, rather than divulge too much, I’ll just say I work at a … Continue reading A Wee Bit Employed
I did something the other day that I haven’t done since I was in college—no, no, not a kegstand*. I watched American Idol. *a.k.a. carry my textbook around to house parties and read in the spare bedroom. Now before you get judgmental, let me justify myself by saying I didn’t even know this show was … Continue reading The Path To Hollywood Is Paved With Mediocre Singers
When you have friends who give out your phone number for this: Continue reading Who needs enemies?
This blog would have been written sooner except my friend who was visiting this weekend informed me that I should make my blog better by, like, not sucking. At least that was my interpretation. His exact words were intended to be constructive and more along the lines of: “You should write something that will … Continue reading BLOG OF SUCK; alternatively, “The Incident Report”
