The thing with a lifelong fear of heights is that as a person who is afraid of heights, you tend to avoid heights, period, and then you lose touch with EXACTLY HOW AFRAID YOU ARE. If “you” are “me”, that is. You forget. You think — because you are an idiot — that [...]

Here’s the thing: I am trying not to be so busy. I am always so busy (especially now that I’m babysitter-free due to The Single Most Ridiculous Teen Angst Drama in the History of The Planet Earth) and as a result, I run around feeling all the time like I’m LATE (this is because [...]

I went to Costco yesterday with my parents because they have a membership and I am far far far too cheap to buy my own, and also because shopping with my parents makes me feel young again as though I am too young to be able to shop for real grown up items on my [...]

1. I took a long break over Christmas in which I did not do a SINGLE WORD of writing. Not a bit. I shopped. I wrapped. I procrastinated. I did not write. AND NOW I AM REFRESHED! Damn it, I am. Totally refreshed. Sort of. [...]

So I was recently Friend Dumped. (I know! WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS?) It was a subtle dumping and I did not see it coming. I think I am working through the seven stages of grief about it, if the seven stages include obsessing about it, being mystified, and then worried and then — [...]

This post is not really entirely about Dan Brown. Sorry. It was a trick! To make you look! I know nothing about Dan Brown and/or Freemasons, except that I do know that his book sold one million copies on its first day because this was retweeted one million times on my Twitter stream yesterday and [...]
