After reading Mel Heth’s post on iShame, I thought about going out to eat alone. I’ve never done that before. Well, once in a Burger King. But it’s not the same. I imagined it would be quite awkward, and that I would only want to be in that situation with a good book. Yesterday, an opportunity presented [...]

Unformed Thoughts
A student posted a feminist quote on Facebook about how women get called all these terrible names, and the worst thing you could call a man is “a girl”. Luckily for me, she posted the source-Jessica Valenti, author of Full Frontal Feminism. Interested, I bought an e-copy to read on my Kindle. Then my brain exploded [...]

A Book, A Dream, a Burned Bridge.
image taken from Amazon.com I’ve been listening to this audio book, The Upside of Irrationality. The writer, Dan Ariely, has a pretty interesting story to tell about himself, let alone the work he’s been doing for the last so many years. The topic itself is interesting: Why do we do things that are irrational when we KNOW something [...]

Seriously
I’m having an identity crisis at the moment. We can recognize that I am not my job as I hate my job. I think for a long time, my identity was what I did for a living, which explains why I’m so fucking miserable and whiny most of the time. I am not my job. [...]

I try not to think of dating but it comes back to it…
I found out later that the cute guy from work yelled at my gal pal co worker for putting me into a situation that hurt my feelings and embarrassed me, and he texted me an apology too. I accepted the apology without telling him what happened was okay. Especially since it wasn’t okay in my book. [...]

Cold Burn
Wow, I must’ve been stocking up on words, because I’m a postin’ machine! Let me tell you about what happened today. “I got asked a question about you” came the text from my work friend. But then she wouldn’t tell me what the question was. Just that Mr. AOK asked Mr. QT who has her and that [...]

Short Fuses
I’ve been thinking about whatever the next step is going to be. It totally makes sense that I look for another full time job, right? I mean, with medical benefits and a salary, and security. I have to think about my retirement, right? Totally makes sense. Sooooooooooooooo………………………………………………………………………… I really don’t want to do that. At [...]

Fun With Capitalization (Challenge Accepted!)
The end of May is when I’m finished here. I’m moving back home with my parents. I won’t have to sleep in the basement, they like having that space for guests. My mom is giving me her work room upstairs, and it’ll be a really nice bedroom space. We’ve been discussing where I’ll put some [...]
