You don’t even need a hungry cat, you just need a cat to hang out. I lived in a rather slummy apartment one year. When the super came around to fix something, he was shocked that we hadn’t had a problem with mice (as the building apparently had for years prior) and then he saw my cat saunter through the room. Mice…

Whatever.

Hello lovelies! I’ve been AWOL trying to deal with the divorce stuff, going back to school, and.... dating! Last night I met this guy I’d been talking to on okc and he was totally smart, funny, easy to talk to. I’m not looking for anything serious, and we had incredible sex. I am very pumped.

I’m in agreement with the others about chasing everything down health and psychology/etc wise first. I think that’s worthwhile.

I knew we should be friends!

Disclosure: never been married, but a bridesmaid/maid of honor several times. Find a new photographer, then cancel this one, so you always have something lined up. Though you may not get your deposit back, the fact that you won’t be dreading photos on your wedding day should make up for it. Being the bride is very…

So, despite working for an art company for three years, I never get any time to do any art, because working gets in the way. Womp womp. But I have been really, really trying to get back into things lately, including going to a catch up with some old art friends every month/six weeks or so.

Cried at work this week, which was mortifying as it was in front of not one but both of the people I answer to. And it wasn’t even for a good reason, it was just that I’d had an excruciatingly long day the day before at my *other* job and was thus feeling extremely fragile. They were really nice about it but I still…

Hey, Jezzies! I have some good news I want to share, plus an appeal for life advice. I just found out I got into the graduate fellowship of my dreams, which means that I get to go to school, and I know that I have a job upon finishing my degree. Now, I need to pack up all my stuff and move to DC by mid-May (help!).…

ladies, this is my first SNS in forever, and I wanted to thank those who gave me support and encouragement the last time I got to drop by! I had my annual review last week and it went really well, and I did get up the courage to ask my company to get real about the $$$. I won’t know the outcome for a few months…

Nah, it’s just that now that more of them are older they’ve realized the only potentially interesting thing about these people is who they’re courting/if they’re courting/ and who is conspicuously abstaining from courting. Now that two of the girls have done the usual hard core Christian thing of getting married as…

I like her. I like a lot of people that we’re told not to like for various reasons. Generally I just enjoy the breadth of humanity one comes across every day. We’re pretty fucking amazing.

I have a very good friend from the north of Ireland (not Northern Ireland, just on the boarder), and she is a lesbian. I showed her an episode of The Duggars and she was suitably horrified. Upon seeing Joy Anna appear on screen she shouted, “Oh no, oh dear - oh that poor wee lesbian child! Let’s find her and help…

I had this when I was a kid. My father caught me in a crying panic stashing all of my stuffed animals in my closet. When he asked what the hell I was doing, I told him that I didn’t want him to burn all of my friends. Apparently I’d gotten the impression from the Velveteen Rabbit that as soon as I fell asleep, he was…

I feel like so much potential is lost with this headline.

Stiff.

just going to file this away for later...

Wanta hear something cool? I had an old, old copy of Farmer Boy when I was a kid. Years later I found a copy in a flea market, and when I opened it up, I found my name inside! It was the same copy. Hurray, Kismet!!

Oh jesus. Nice work, Half-Pint.
