Depravity, perfected
Things like this make me wish I worked from home, or was a stay-at-home mom, or was independently wealthy (I never really wanted to be a productive member of society, anyway) or didn’t fear people walking into my office without … Continue reading
Shake shake shake your body
The earth rattled and rolled this morning. Really, it did. I mean, it literally rattled and rolled. There was an earthquake! And you know what? It woke me up. It did! I sat up in my bed, some 9 stories … Continue reading

Oh Yeah? Well then, frak you too!
You know, when my mom died I went through this frakkin’ awful grieving process-thing. It frakkin’ sucked. I’ve never been so unhappy in my frakkin’ life, and once I started to come out of that frakeriffic haze, I promised that … Continue reading
