Plus I don’t want someone else doing my make up.

So a week after I started this job, a guy who no longer worked at the publication I worked for died in a car accident. I never met him, and he was a copy editor so it wasn’t like I was familiar in any way with him through what he wrote.
But nevertheless, the EOC said everyone needed to go. So I went. And somehow the…

One day, my great-aunt (maternal grandmother’s sister) called to tell me that she was cleaning out her closets for a church rummage sale and asked if I could use any bed sheets or towels. Being a typical single male in his early 20s, I had two sets of both (one in use, the other in the dirty laundry) and since I was…

Licorice is the taste of pure evil.

I went out of town last night for a good friend’s birthday party. We were out until 3am, and that’s saying a lot for us at 40+. But I reserved 2 nights in the hotel and those other bitches left this afternoon due to “exhaustion”. So, I took advantage of the spa and the bar and am watching football with a glass of…

Nonsense. For example, I will never, ever forgive the man who molested my wife when she was a child. He died without asking for forgiveness, but even if he had, I sure as hell wouldn’t forgive him. He did it for years.

I must forewarn – this story is kinda grim.

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

I was 17 and an overemotional, overeducated, slightly overweight smart girl when I had an affair with a very popular married high school teacher. I felt absolutely compelled and duty-bound to keep it a secret, even to this day - and you can tell, since I’m writing this from a burner account. There were so many…

I disagree. I think this bride _should_ confront her friend about the lack of gift, so that the bridesmaid has the opportunity to shit in a box and mail it to her, but that's just me.

It’s Friday (no jokes, plz) and I am in a good mood. Sure, the video above isn’t great. But I’m going to be productive and promote some female MCs that I think are absolutely killing it.

How to start your day like Mocena:

Sounds like she’d be a great drama director, tho

You gotta plan out your flashes in advance, so you’ve got them properly filed and labeled for rapid retrieval.

My campers are all adults with various disabilities.

I went to drill team camp in the 10th grade. TBH, I have no idea how I actually ever made the team (although I think it may have been when the girl in line next to me during tryouts accidentally poked me in the eye with her prop during the routine and I kept going). I’m a born klutz, never took a dance/gymnastics…

God, I have stories up the wazoo from eight years of working as a camp counselor, but there’s one that really stands out.

My first year working at sleep-away camp, we did this training activity where everyone had to talk about a time that we felt “other” or ostracized. The new Drama Director (18 or 19 years old) told…

My mom put one of these guys up a few years after she got divorced. I found out this Christmas that she slept with him. (He was hot, go Mom!)

When I was a kid I would go to a weeklong soccer camp at the local YMCA for a few years. One time they had “visiting counselors” from England, and the campers’ families hosted them. My family put a teenaged (or very early 20s), very cute English guy up in my room, and I slept in my sister’s room. This of course meant…

I actually run a camp. That’s my job. It’s year round, several sessions throughout the year. But the first time I conducted a session I had no idea what I was doing. The job just got dumped on me through a crazy series of events and I was just trying to get through the week without killing anyone. My campers are all…
