(1) I know I’m an ass for uploading a 15 minute video. Attempting to edit this thing was something of a nightmare and I didn’t actually get to all of what was meant to be in it because I was so frustrated that once I’d chopped it down and added some music, I was exhausted […]
“They can’t all be winners,” or, “one of my 2014 goals is honesty and that means I’m going to post even the pointless drafts I should keep to myself.” Those of you lucky enough to be in non-miserable temperatures or those of you with ice in your veins may well have grown tired of hearing […]
There’s this article I read a while back that I’ve shared in a number of places because the”Ring Theory” is incredibly useful for navigating any number of traumatic events. I recommend reading the actual article, but here’s my quick, inadequate summary: There’s always someone, or some group of people at the center of this traumatic […]
In my last post I mentioned my recent trip to Dallas to visit the internet. While hanging out in Dallas with my fellow snark ladies I filmed a few things. I put together a video of said things, principally for the sake of my own future nostalgia-fueled enjoyment. Just in case you’re interested in that […]
It seems funny to me, somehow, that my last post on this little blog is called “arguing with calendars.” I grappled with my father’s 60th birthday, and yet made no mention of the fact that I turned 25. Or that I attended my 10th anniversary Coachella. I have nothing new to say besides noting that […]
Ashley Riordan, who I still just want to call Write To Reach Ashley, wrote a post a month ago called The secret life of everyone you know. It’s wonderful and you should read it. In short, no matter how well you know people, there is almost always more going on than you realize. Everyone you […]
I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but back in January I applied to be one of the 20sb Community Managers, because of my inability to understand how important that emotional-wiggle-room thing is. If I have an extra 5 minutes in my day, that means that I am free to take on more things, right? […]
For all the self-indulgent bullshit that I fill this blog with, I can’t stress enough how important other people are to this. Yes, I’m mostly writing my little notes to myself, but even though that is how I write, it changes when I hit publish. I started this blog right after I graduated from college. […]
My bloggy BFF Lorraine and I talk about a lot of things all the time. That was a really pointless intro. I had typed something more specific about the thing that this post is actually going to deal with, but it was a lie, you see, because I actually email her way more than is […]
As a personal blogger, I am morally obligated to put up at least one post talking about the new year or the end of the old year. I should talk about all the travels (first solo international trip!) or becoming an employed person with a business card. These were proud accomplishments. Or we could get […]
