My dad gives me a clue as to why I’m the only one left to carry on the family name… 2008-07-09 14:52:35 Car rides with my dad are excruciating. The hour drive from the airport is actually a big factor in why I stopped visiting him. Each ride contains a different torture. Sometimes he talks about how he thinks my mother is a whore. Other times he tries to tell me blatant lies about my childhood. One [...]
A Near Brush with Pedophilia (It’s not only girls who develop early…) 2008-07-06 20:48:43 At the age of sixteen, I had quite a lot on my plate. Besides school and 2 part time jobs, I was also involved in several theatric endeavors. I was an active member of my school’s drama club, one of the directors of the Senior SING performance, and had just finished up a community theater [...] Read more:Brush

This Time I’m Finally Leaving: A day in the life of an agoraphobic 2008-07-05 13:27:19 (I wrote this 6 months ago when this condition pretty much ruled my life. It’s interesting to see that not only did my life improve once I learned to cope with it, but my writing voice became way less melancholy.)
I couldn’t take it anymore. I was slowly sinking into myself. Wake up, clean, cook, watch TV, sleep. [...] Read more:Finally

Holy Crap, It’s a Holiday Today? 2008-07-04 16:52:50 This isn’t the first holiday I’ve forgotten about. Most recently, I had no idea it was Memorial Day until the town’s high school band began warming up a block away from my house. I still thought to myself “What the hell?” until I almost got caught in the town’s parade during a quick trip to [...] Read more:Holiday

Death of a Loved One? (How I hate you for leaving me!) 2008-07-03 19:28:18 My roommate once told me a story about how a friend of his lost two pet frogs in one day. His friend owned dozens of “boy” pets (frogs, lizards, insects, and anything else he picked up on the road), but his favorite was his 2 pet frogs. One was teeny tiny, the other was the [...]
Now I Know How My Mom Felt (After 5 years of marriage, we finally have the place to ourselves) 2008-06-20 19:05:56 Earlier this week, my roommate, StuckInaMoment, moved out. He was going to Oklahoma City for 3 months of Air Traffic Control training and upon his return he would be getting his own place. While he’s best friends with both me and my husband, I was getting so sick of seeing him day in and day [...] Read more:marriage

The Agony of Da Feet (or, How I unexpectedly found myself to be the participant of a foot fetish contest) 2008-06-19 21:10:35 Supermodel Gisele Bündchen was discovered by talent scouts while eating at a McDonald’s. Victoria’s Secret’s Adriana Lima was discovered by an agent in a mall when she was 15 years old.
I was discovered at the age of 20 at the bus stop on Northern Blvd.
Okay, so obviously I’m not some famous model, but I really [...] Read more:myself
A Life Hanging in the Balance 2008-07-29 22:58:15 I have been so utterly stressed these past weeks due to different life events. I hate when things get like this; instead of being in control like I prefer, I’m stuck waiting around for outcomes to be determined.
First, the end of the month is approaching any day now and we still don’t have a confirmed [...] Read more:Balance

Me and My Monkey? (Well maybe not MINE…) 2008-07-28 22:18:42 While over on Secluded Habitat the other day, I found myself becoming one of hopefully many sponsors of a monkey with a love for travel. Cheeky, pet to the blogs’ author Stuart, has been itching for a holiday and since Stuart won’t be able to accompany him, he has asked if any fellow bloggers would [...]
Ants: No Survival Instinct 2008-07-25 14:37:02 My house has been attacked by another swarm of ants (one of the many reasons why I’m glad we’re moving at the end of the month). At least they’re not the horrible giant carpenter ants – these are just the small brown ones. Even so, who the hell wants a lot of any type of [...]
“Everyone Knows That a True Friend Doesn’t Come By Until After Dinner” 2008-07-24 18:29:41 (Title quote from the 1940 movie “The Shop Around The Corner”)
I hate people who are leeches, but I attract them anyway. Lord knows how many losers I’ve got out with and practically every “good” friend I’ve made has dropped me as soon as they were done using me.
I can’t blame them - after all, I [...] Read more:Dinner

An Attempt to Restore a Familial Connection 2008-08-14 20:08:42 Today during my break, I stopped by at my grandmother’s for lunch. She lives only a couple of blocks away from my new job and it had been way too long since I’d seen her last. As it was, it’s been years since I’ve visited her on a regular basis (reminder: my agoraphobia barely allowed [...] Read more:Restore
I Hate Morning People 2008-08-13 11:16:41 Why must people be so chipper on the train early in the morning, especially on the Long Island Railroad? When I used to take the subway, during peak morning hours it was almost like the entire train was filled with people sleeping in all sorts of odd angles positions. But when riding on the LIRR, [...] Read more:Morning
Why I Hate Birds (PICS) 2008-08-12 12:21:37 They attack in swarms.
They’ve apparenly developed a taste for human flesh.
If humans aren’t around for them to torture, they’ll turn on each other!
A classic shot!
They’re sneaky bastards…
…see?
Always with the poop…

New Yorkers Really Need to Slow the F*ck Down! 2008-08-11 14:18:14 It’s really easy for me to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the city whenever I go to Manhattan, whether it’s for work or for simply meeting up with a friend. Sometimes the crowds will move in a sort of rhythm, other times it’s like all hell broke loose. But for the [...]
Mine! (The Arte y Pico Award) 2008-08-07 19:20:11 It isn’t necessarily just for me, but I was lucky enough to have caught the attention of Ms. Violette over at BigShoes who bestowed this honor upon me. I had learned about the Arte y Pico Award
maybe less than a month ago and just like I told Violette, I didn’t even imagine that my [...]
