I am having a hard time with all the visceral disgust being aimed at the show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, because so much of it seems to be just hate aimed at Southern poor people. I suppose I understand that the behavior of a family from the rural south is much different than the behavior …

I think people sometimes underestimate the weirdness that one faces by being a semi-public online woman. The following is a story about extreme creepiness and stalkerdom. I was asked by another stalkee to publish the stalker’s name — I felt justified in doing so on my own, but probably wouldn’t have, but since she has …

I am sorry I haven’t posted this week. I’ve been put on some new medication that’s absolutely knocked me out, I’m barely functioning. It is also making my feel hyper emotional about not being able to get stuff done. Double thumbs up. If I was not so exhausted, I’d be in hysterics now, so… I …

Two years ago today I got a boob job. I feel like blunt is the best way to start this conversation. Plastic surgery is usually the butt of jokes, it’s what celebrities do to themselves that makes them look like aliens. Sure, there are burn victims and cancer victims who get cosmetic surgery, but that’s …

In honor of my bestest friend ever coming into town, and in honor of the fact that I found a harddrive with a lot of really old crap on it, I’m going to do an image dump of things I thought were awesome 8 years ago. These things, it should be noted, are still awesome.

I go to one protest and I get in the national news: Result! I’m not sure why I looked so sad at that particular moment. I’m going to say it’s because that’s how much I care about the First Amendment. You all going to go along with that? Excellent.
