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 […]
I spent a weekend in Dallas with two of my favorite people. Sitting in a bar above a ridiculously wonderful restaurant where the waiters carry out their jobs in costume and character, we chatted about favorite books. Somewhere in this conversation I remembered a thing I had forgotten about myself. I had forgotten a belief […]
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. […]
I had this whole thing going about sharing all the stuff and being less guarded and more willing to own my shame and all that good stuff, but I realized, even at the time, that I couldn’t get all that into one post that was any reasonable length. So yeah, there’s a bit more. And […]
When things get bad, the last thing I really want to do is talk about how much things suck. Partially this is because when I start doing that, out loud, to other people, I become aware of all the things I should be grateful for and the thousand ways it could get worse. I’m also […]
In my last post I mentioned this post, which I wrote first. Now that I feel like I’ve prefaced it with some vague disclaimers, I feel a lot more comfortable posting it. It is all sorts of redundant after the last post, but this is useful for me in the weird sort of personal archiving […]
A good friend recently left her job and asked for encouragement. The details weren’t clear (and if they were, I wouldn’t be sharing them here) because all she really needed was a hug, and was willing to settle for internet hugs. (I give awesome internet hugs, FYI. Awkward real hugs, but awesome internet hugs.) The […]
Two weeks ago today my best friend got married. SHE GOT MARRIED. I meant to say something sooner, mostly so that my blog didn’t greet newcomers with that Sad Panda Surprise post. To be honest, my thoughts haven’t really progressed much from, “!!!!” Let me just say, before you go any further, that this post […]
Years ago, I was driving to Santa Monica with my best friend. We pulled up to the light at the end of Santa Monica Blvd., where it hits Ocean. It was late at night and I don’t remember how or why we got roped into talking to them, but two middle aged men in the […]
