I’m so sorry about Bertie. I love my pets, and I wall always have one, but the end is always so hard. *hugs*

I wish I could spend all my time with kitties instead of people.

I look forward to The Shelter Cat Update every Saturday! 

Joyce Carol Oates was one of my first favorite short story writers. I discovered her when I was a freshman in college in 1985. (Yes, I was the class of 1984!)

That’s where my Oppositional Defiance Disorder comes in handy!

I love doing yoga by myself. I absolutely hate doing it in groups. It’s a personal meditation to me, and sitting in a room with a bunch of people is a nightmare. And the one time I went to hot yoga (before all the shit about Choudhry) with a friend, it was a literal hell. I had an anxiety attack because it was too…

With a name like yours, I would expect you to recognize that cherry, frosted are the best. 

God, I forgot about that. I lost all respect for Wayne Coyne. I’ve just begun being able to enjoy their music again. 

I feel like I should have a talk with my Mom now. 

I feel bad calling my Dad bad. I don’t know if he did the best he could, but he wasn’t the worst. He never abused me, he mostly neglected me.
But I had other sisters who weren’t neglected, so what was wrong with me?

I haven’t had the patience for a serial show since Shameless.
I continue to gorge myself on reality tv shows.

And a very cute, very feminine one. (by our society’s standards)

Unpossible!

I have absolutely no interest in greek life, and just clicked this article to see the tone of the comments.

Almost as bad as when people refer to Dad’s taking care of the kids as babysitting. It’s not babysitting when you’re the parent! It’s taking care of your own offspring!

Candiace. Does anyone else pronounce this Candy Ass, or is it just me? 

My bad dad died about 15 years ago. I was too young to unpack my feelings about him, then, but I sure wish I had a chance to confront/ask him about some things from my childhood. We gained a certain peace before he died (it was not unexpected), but at that point I was not able to really face some of the demons between…

I completely agree with you, however I think some people find ending a marriage a worse moral decision than cheating. It makes no sense to me, but I didn’t get married for morality, I did it for legality,. 

Because its a convenient way to jail homeless people and other undesirables in order to keep them down. It’s certainly not administered equally.

JFC, that picture is the stuff of nightmares!
