There was this time period when I was 15 years old when I was kind of left on my own a lot. My mom was in the hospital for a period of about 4 months, and my dad came to live with me, but he worked nights and stayed with his girlfriend on the weekends. It wasn’t like I was homeless, I had spending money and food, I just also happened to have the house to myself a lot of the time. So I did...

I Always Wanted To Be Wes Anderson
This really resonated with me. Read it!
Also, this is my favorite part: “I am trying to content myself with the fact that the speed of my mundane life will never ramp down into beautiful poetic slow-motion, and The Kinks will never start playing suddenly out of nowhere”
dcpierson:
I’ve thought about Wes Anderson a lot lately.
I think there’s a trough, as your age becomes...

I’ve been listening to Incesticide quite often lately, and I can’t believe Kurt Cobain would have been 45 years old today. I was 13 when he died, and while the memory isn’t quite as strong these days, I’ll never forget the day we found out that he had died. It was spring break for me, I was at home by myself talking on the phone with my friend Jazmin, and I was listening to...

Fat girls get no love.
When I was around 18 years old, the whole idea of internet dating was pretty new. There was a hotmail thing for matching up with people, but digital cameras were pretty rare back then, as were scanners, so you could actually mail in a photo and they would scan it in for you. I think I just didn’t have a photo up on my profile.
I weighed, oh, about 45 pounds less than I do now, a very...

When I was 18, this guy I went out with like twice showed up at the airport to see me off on a graduation vacation I went on with one of my best friends. I remember at the time thinking it was awkward and irritating. What the fuck was wrong with me? That kind of stuff doesn’t just happen everyday.
I’m pretty sure I never called him again. Sorry, guy. What you did was totes awesome,...

Oh god dammit, Noel Fielding.
I am for reals only using headphones and my computer to watch 1000000000 Noel Fielding videos rather than hooking it up to the tv because I’m afraid my husband is going to start thinking I’ve gone insane. I most likely have. Even the cats are giving me side eye.
I’m not even kidding. What the hell is wrong with me?

Well, when you put it that way.
40 days of introspection/yoga is almost over, and while I’ll most likely post this weekend about all the meaning I’m getting from it, I just quantified my practice by counting how many days I’ve gone to yoga in the 47 days since 2012 started, and that is 31 days, not counting the 6 days that I have gone to my 40 days class where we don’t practice yoga which I use as a day...

People Peeves
1. People who take themselves too seriously.
2. People who say they are open minded, but are actually quite judgemental.
3. People who are “too cool for school”.
4. People who take themselves too seriously. Oh wait, did I say that already? Let me say it AGAIN. PEOPLE WHO TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY.
Be rude sometimes, get angry, have cranky moments. Fine, everyone has their...

I figured it out!
I’ve always enjoyed dancing, but lately all I want to do every weekend is go out and dance for hours, until I’m a sweaty mess of eyeliner and hair. At first I was feeling like I was maybe having an early midlife crisis. I’m married now, kids soon maybe, my young going out days getting further away.
But I don’t think that is really it. I realized last night that dancing...
