APR 6, 2011   I Can Hold My Own Hair I use to throw up a lot. It was a daily ritual at one point during my teen years. Oddly, the only person in my life who still remembers me doing this is my sister who would have been about 14 at the height of my bulimic tendencies. Somehow, over the course of those 2 years when I was purging, I started to develop a desensitized gag reflex. Toothbrush handles that used to do the trick just tickling the back of my throat I was now scraping back and...

APR 03, 2011 Roll Over Fucks I work for AT&T. AT&T offers Rollover minutes as a perk. In fact it's a tool that I'm supposed to utilize when helping my customers and advising them of rate plan changes they can make to save money. So I'm glancing at a woman's cell phone bill the other day, attempting to calculate how she managed to rack up as many roll over minutes that she has, especially considering that she didn't have our A-List (doesn't that just sound so mother fucking quaint that...

APR 03, 2011   Payless Should Sell More Crap I'm a cheapskate. I love clearance sales, 99 cent stores and buying anything that says it's "75% off or more!!" There are some things, however, that I believe it is better to pay a premium for. Sure, there are the obvious selections, such as an education, a car and condoms. But there are also those non-essential things that I prefer to plunk down a little more money for. Some of these things include: SODA I hate store brands. I hate Shasta. I...

APR 02, 2011   "Dream Maker, Love Taker..." I was reading a friend's blog the last night, and he had posted a list of reasons why he wouldn't date a girl. They were all pretty harsh and specific reasons, perfect for him, but exactly the things that would make him come off exclusionary at best and a chauvinistic pig at worst. But isn't it fair that people should be allowed to have a list of "dealbreakers"? Even if they are aesthetically based? Whether or not we like to admit it, I think...

MAR 27, 2011  She Raises an Eyebrow with Contemptuous Disgust "How do you do it all?" This is a question that I was asked earlier today. It's a simple question, if not a detailed and forthcoming one in its stripped down state. The query could refer to an innumerous amount of things, but the question was very pointed, punctuated with that titular eyebrow. This was asked of me today when I was finally starting to get back to a normal state of mind after a 10 day battle with emotional and...

MAR 07, 2011   There's Not Enough Sugar in All the World I try not to be bitter. Most of the time I don't bother to think about it, I just carry on with my life and do what needs to get done. I'm too busy to bother being bitter. But let me tell you, it gets rough sometimes. I'm referring to Abbi's father and his non-involvement in her life. I'm actually OK with him not being around. The very sight of him makes me sick to my stomach, even when looking at pictures. It's even harder when I...

MAR 02, 2011   All These Stupid Games We Play What makes it so bobdamn hard to find a little understanding? Think about it. All of us have been through similar situations. We've all been through love and heartbreak. Through being the one who dumps to being the one who's dumped. We all can point at one another when we hear their tale told, saying "I know exactly what you mean!" And yet, when it comes to our own personal romantic endeavors, we can't admit that the other person has been in...

FEB 28, 2011   I'd Much Rather Talk to You, If That's OK... I'm deeply embedded in a love/hate relationship right now.  With E-mail. In order to get my head straight on how I really feel about this technological advancement to the hot guys in their shorts walking around my neighborhood and putting packages in my box (Why were we so arrogant as to assume that we could improve on that??), I've decided to go over my personal pros and cons to the system. The best part about e-mail is the...

FEB 26, 2011   I've been through the desert... ... on a horse with no name. OK, just had to get that out of my head. I like to not think because normally I think far too much. I stopped to do something else and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. I like this keyboard. Although it is still a little difficult to type in the dark. Don't ask me why I'm typing in the dark. Sufficed to say, I am. I don't have to work tomorrow. Makes me really happy that I'm not in retail anymore....

FEB 19, 2011   I'm Not a Girl.... .... so I know that I don't need to be purchasing cute little books with which to write my innermost personal thoughts in. Wake up, people, it's the fucking thousands and something! Blogging is writing a diary. Well, it's a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It can be a way for a band to promote new material, provide updates on tour dates, and post pictures of debauchery partaken with fans. A blog can be a way for someone with strong...
