I have my heart set on “Two of Us” by the Beatles and it would take A LOT to change my mind. One of my very favorite things about our relationship is how mellow we are together. It really is that “Sunday driving, not arriving” kind of love. Other Half has been married before and has explicitly stated I can do all the…

We live together and only have one shower so...

I was doing such a good job at holding it together until me and the dude listened to “Sunday Bloody Sunday” on the way home from grocery shopping and that was it. I lost it completely.

When the Aurora shooting happened I donated a bunch of stuff to the local animal shelter and bought supplies to knit wedding presents.…

I just started a new job a few weeks ago and I’m really struggling with this. The dress code is pretty casual, as we’re not client-facing 99% of the time. We can wear jeans every day. However, I’m the only person in the office other than my boss who supervises someone, so I feel like I should dress it up at least a…

So me and my fella aren’t officially engaged, though we are most certainly talking about it a lot and I think we’ll end up doing it at some point.

Last night some of my girlfriends and I got to talking about wedding plans and the four of us basically figured most of it out. And we figured out how to do most of it on…

A friend of mine is a video editor and had at least three videographers at her wedding. I assume she edited the film by herself and called it a tax write-off.

The only reason I can tolerate my current housemate is that he is also my boyfriend/love of my life and he let me adopt a kitty.

I kiiiind of want to go with a peacock blue number, TBH. White is a hard color to wear and, well. That ship sailed a long time ago.

I used to work in a preschool. One of my boys, age 3, was allowed to watch violent movies at home. Result? He was violent to other kids and adults. He hit, kicked, and spit at me. He threw sticks at me. He threw chairs at other people. He used explicit language in the classroom. He drew a picture of a man with a gun…

The last time I went to the movies, two women behind me wouldn’t shut the fuck up, and four people in front of me had an infant with them. Shockingly, they kept having to take the infant out of the theater. However, the infant’s main minder wasn’t, as you might logically assume, the person sitting on the aisle. No, it…

I have this license plate (not with these characters obvs) and every once in a while I drive by a choose life plate and the drivers give me the worst stinkeye and I just laugh and laugh and laugh.

My OkCupid profile referenced my three great loves: Doctor Who, tacos, and The Simpsons.

Mr. Brotherjo’s first message to me was a quote from The Simpsons that included references to both Doctor Who and tacos. Almost two years later, he says he still can’t believe that line worked. But it (a) showed he had read my…

I can’t remember if it was Ann Landers or Dear Abby, but when I was in early high school one of them ran many many letters swearing that banana peels appended to the bottom of one’s feet overnight were good for toxins or some shit.

I would fuck Andy Richter in a heartbeat. Give me my big squishy boos.

Dick Saslaw, one of the top Democrats in Virginia, is also totally in the pocket of payday lenders. It makes me very extremely sad.

My partner has supported me through an incredibly rough graduate program, and he loves me even when I’m extremely unlovable, and sometimes I want to recognize him publicly (ie Facebook). But I don’t do it often, and usually it’s silly and self-deprecating. Nothing else is acceptable unless it’s like, your wedding day.

Transgender is not a verb, and there is no -ed at the end.

I’m not super into lingerie and it can get pretty expensive, but I do own a couple pairs of fishnet tights and sometimes I’ll put on a pair of those under one of my boyfriend’s work shirts if I want to get lucky. It almost always works.

Fucking white people, man.

This is a great start, but doesn’t address people who don’t have licenses. And it won’t necessarily increase voter turnout (raise your hand if you’re registered to vote but always have an excuse not to do it). But it’s a big first step, and I like it.

Now if only Virginia could get on the ball, I could find something…
