Don’t name your children ridiculous things.
I work in higher education, and y’all would not believe some of the names of some kids out there. I’m talking about names that don’t exist in the real world, names people completely made up, names that are straight up NOT REAL and NOT SUITABLE for your child. It’s become [...]

Getting Comfy
I’m not really a stress eater, but whenever I’ve had a bad day, I always crave one very specific food: buttered pasta with parmesan cheese. I know that’s a strange choice for a girl who pretty much gags at the mere thought of cheese, but it’s so good. That was pretty much my go to [...]

BFFL, Part Two
I may have alluded to the craziness of my job in my last post (or I may have actually said my job was crazy in my last post). What I didn’t say was that I kind of felt like having a major meltdown because the stress was temporarily but not uncharacteristically overwhelming by the end [...]

Well, Hello, Everyone.

Stranger Than Your Sympathy, This Is My Apology.
Today’s title comes from the Goo Goo Dolls’ song “Sympathy.” Did you know the Goo Goo Dolls were my first favorite band? I’ve loved them since I was twelve and in eighth grade. Congratulations on making it ten years with me, folks.
Anyway, this entry does have a point, and it’s that over the weekend, I [...]

Covet? Don’t Love It.
(The title of this entry comes from License to Wed. Robin Williams’s character had the Ten Commandments on a board that looked like the board from Family Feud, and that was my favorite part. And I had such high hopes! John Krasinski and Mandy Moore! Jim from The Office! He’s hot because he’s funny! And [...]

Welcome, 2009!
“Well, Happy New Year’s, baby.
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
And catch a plane to Barcelona ’cause this city’s a drag.”
- Counting Crows, “Holiday in Spain”
It’s possible that I am the lamest twenty-two-year-old in the history of the world. Instead of going out and [...]
