Gah, those weird relationship dreams are terrible. I’ve had a few where my SO had either left or was cheating and it totally ruins your mood the next day.

I’ve been waiting all week to talk to you guys. I need you. Over holiday break I got super sick, followed by lithium poisoning, and it was a solid week in bed feeling like I was dying and dealing with crippling depression. My husband, who I’ve mentioned before plays WOW like it’s his job, couldn’t take care of me and…

My husband’s family is full of Trump supporters, so basically the worst kind of people. When I first met them, I was young and naive and engaged in arguments when they said stupid, hateful things. Now I’m a little older and wiser, I’m more adept at quickly changing the subjects and not taking the bait. I almost lost…

i will try it one day. thank you

Hallo.

Guys. Mini Pie started Tiny Ballet this morning and it is the GODDAMN CUTEST THING EVER AHHHH.

Anyone here ever get intense crushes on celebrities?* Cos I need help stopping one. It doesn’t help that I’m so terminally single I may as well shut up shop now for life (not that I make any real effort to change my status either).

Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? Lemon Ginger Kevita for me! (Thanks, Slay.douche!) I haven’t had alcohol in over a week. Still can’t get over this cough/sinus/fever garbage. I’ve become addicted to Super Mario Maker for the Wii U in the meantime. Damn, that game is cool. Making Mario levels, playing levels made by…

Hubs is sick in bed, so I’m eating a takeout hamburger and truffle fries from a nearby hotel restaurant, because I can. I’ve been thinking a lot about 2016, and my goal this year is to let go of the bad. I have a tendency to hold on to negativity, giving myself terrible anxiety and generally filling my headspace with…

*knocks on all the wood for you*
You’re gonna slay it!
And when I first found meds that almost erased my anxiety completely, i literally became a different person. I changed my personality pretty drastically. So yay for meds!

My PhD viva (=oral defense/exam) for my major corrections is 29 January. It’s my second viva, as after my first one in June 2014 I was given the feedback that what I did was good but I just needed to write about it better. (Which I did, but there’s still so much that I could have changed and my discussion chapter is…

Seriously though, this whole article makes me feel so very, very old. Millenials apparently have never seen the first Star Wars movie or any of the Indiana Jones movies?! Harrison Ford was my very first crush, even before I knew what a “crush” is. I was in love with Han Solo even as a girl of 6 years and used to play…

Dear Guardian Angel Jezzie,

Oh! And as for lipstick with great colors that stays in place, literally anything Yves St. Laurent. I have stains and sticks and they’re beautifully pigmented with staying power, and not drying at all. Like NARS lipstick-level impact, but moisturizing.

I know I will be reduced to the grays, but I really want to share anyway. 2014 was the hardest year of my life. I was back home with my parents after failing the bar exam by one point on the essay section and then found out my mom had stage 4 cancer. I had no purpose in life or hope for the future.

What’s sad is that, like, the gift was a book of jokes, but they were all mostly really offensive and racially charged in a bad way, but we were laughing anyways because we figured the person did that on purpose as an inside joke, but apparently this woman bought the book thinking they were “quality” jokes and was mad…

I met a guy. A guy I like, for the first time in four or so years. So, a pretty big deal. I’m pretty sure that he likes me back as much as I like him, but I forgot how intensely stressful the early part of a relationship is. Like, I am reading into everything WAY more than I should, and it’s just like, how am I…

Oh my god jezzies, I humiliated myself. Behold my tale of woe:

Hey Jezzies! I’m almost through semester 5/14 of my grad program (just grading left) and drinking a shock top honey crisp apple wheat and watching John Mulaney do stand up while i wait for the Dude to get home. AND I think i found us a rental house to move into when our lease is up so we can have a yard and some furry…

Celebrating Christmas early by finally going to see Krampus. I'll see if it's any good.
