Hi!
I will vote for Trump
If he says “lesbian shitasses”
Hello, GT, It's been a while
Hello, lovely internet friends. Tis me, Everything Is Shiny. Life has been more than a bit crazy with family stuff, job stuff (I got paid to go to Peru! I got robbed in Peru! I helped a reforestation project in Peru! And now I’m back to barista-ing), relationship stuff, housing stuff. Not all bad, not all good, just…
SKIN PROBS
So, likely because I’m leaving the country in two weeks, my skin has decided to have a high school level breakout. My nose would have Santa asking me to guide his sleigh tonight. Boyperson is coming tomorrow, of course, because I can’t just be excited about his visit, I have to be stressed about how bad I look. My…
This is a brag.
Not a humble one, just a brag. In preparation for Peru (LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AAAAAAAAARGH), I just sent an email ENTIRELY IN SPANISH to the person I will be staying with. No one where I am going speaks a word of English. And I’m getting paid to do this. And my Spanish... could be better (I’ve been doing duolingo and…
An upsetting revelation about my bro
So, ShinyBro met Boyperson this week. It went well (yay!) but during the post-meet debriefing, Bro makes a proclamation about how “men can only be friends with females if they want to sleep with them or one of their best friends. I’m a guy. I know how we work. If your boy has a lot of girl friends, he wants to sleep…
Are you there, GT? It's me, Shiny.
Hello, Thinkers of Group. I have a slight bit of a conundrum for you.*
Shitty Saturday
I’m having a horrible day. Without going into too many details, my brother was airlifted to Boston because our hospital didn’t know how to treat him and I’m freaking out all the freakouts.
Beware the dark places
A few words about that new pit of GT hate, GOMI
MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHOWDAH LLAMA
Manhattan clam chowder (BECAUSE YOU GET THE R) should only be made with clams that come from Manhattan waters.
VINDICATED I AM SELFISH I AM WROOOOONG I AM RIGHT I SWEAR I'M RIGHT SWEAR I KNEW IT ALL ALONG #BRADYFREED
I’ve been listening to way too much music from when I was 14 because Dashboard Confessional is all I could think of when I found out TOM BRADY IS VINDICATED.
GT, validate my feels or tell me I'm wrong
So, many of you saw my post yesterday, and posted amazing support! And I love you all for it!
On survivorship, victimhood, and self-identification
A friend of mine today, who is a person who has also experienced rape, posted about how she doesn’t like being called a survivor or a victim. She just feels bad.
Have I waited too long? Have I found that someone? (MUSIC TYME)
I’m opening the coffee shop tomorrow, and it’s pretty much me and a bunch of my friends on the second to last busy Saturday of the season. I decided to do a high school nostalgia playlist.
And after an anxiety filled night...
There’s nothing to cheer me up quite like a troll who thinks he can insult me by calling me fat when I am the one who first brought up my size. OH MY GOD I’M WOUNDED, INTERNET STRANGER WHO TAKES A FACT I ADMIT ABOUT MYSELF AND TRIES TO TURN IT INTO AN INSULT.
i has the crazy
and am dumping the crazy all over a boy I like and now am convinced I will forever scare everyone off with my crazy and I’m going to go crawl in a hole now.
Quick question re: Amazon wishlists and gifting
If something no longer appears on the wishlist, does that mean someone has already gifted it? I am relatively new to the wishlist thing.
Reason I hate tourist culture, Vol. 2234
I went out to get drinks with a friend tonight.
For those not FB friends with Burt
She shared this, and it’s worth a read:
