I'm honored to share a drink with someone who has such a fabulous screen name.

Cheers! Tho if you were here I'd try to offer you some Kaluah or Frangelico to add to your cocoa... Makes it more festive :-)

L’chiam!

No reason at all :-)

What’s the saying “beer and whiskey make you frisky”? Or maybe I made it up... Never mind, cheers!

Oooff. Sadly I'm not woman enough to tolerate martinis, but I love the IDEA of them and gladly toast you!

Cheers!

Aaaaargh matey! Hmmm on second thought, maybe I've had enough lol

No worries, I'll drink for you!

Time to celebrate! My rum and Coke will be dedicated to the guilty verdict... Who else is in?

When you are a teen, you tend to be melodramatic.... All those hormones making you FEEEEEEEEEL things... Also tend to be focused solely on yourself... So much of The Bell Jar is like that. All about her, so much angst - I cringed re-reading it as an adult bc my god, how shallow and boring and lacking awareness or…

All the more delish food for us, right? Let's go to all the food trucks and eat all the foods!!

Oh lord and so many are quite smug and sure that they are more cerebral and better educated than you, the lowly person they deign to share their non-scientific bs diet with.... It's quite funny really :-)

I mean, not gonna lie, where I live, in the happy hipster land of Portland, Oregon, lots of hippy/yuppy/goop types hide their eating disorders under the facade of “clean eating” aka: orthorexia

Hating Margaret Atwood and Sylvia Plath make me feel like Ima get kicked out of feminism all together

Middle school me thought Handmaids Tale was revolutionary... Adult me finds myself non stop eye rolling.... And yeah, I don't emotionally connect to her characters... Eh, oh well.

No I haven't... But now I feel like you've talked it up so much, there's no way it will live up to my expectations ;-)

Thank you Amy, anonymous internet person!! I appreciate you granting me that right and instantly feel like we should be friends.

I ADORE Neil Gaiman, Chimamanda Ngozi, and most recently Amanda Filipachi... There are modern authors that I love, and, (no shame or snobbery in my game) I also love YA authors like Brandon Mull and Marie Lu (who writes fantastic, adorable, feminist dystopian stories)... I feel like Margaret Atwood shoves her point…

Honestly, no. I've read her classics like Handmaids Tale and some of her more recents (the heart comes last which, GAG, I hated) I didn't even know she poet-ed :-)
