jesus fucking christ

I basically babbled. Something along the lines of, “I’m so glad he has such an open minded and loving family, but I’m not a sex worker and I really only know him from the amazing stories my new coworkers tell me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m sure I would’ve loved him but maybe not that way but maybe that way…

The guitarist from my old band died quite unexpectedly at a youngish age after a long battle with what we could only assume was a bad combo of Tourette’s syndrome and Aspergers and an accidental toxic combo of the questionable drugs he took to keep all that in check. Rather than a typical funeral for a strange and…

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…

I am going to keep this one short and sweet.

I LOVE MY DEAD GAY SON.

Oh, girl. Been there (but didn’t make out with him). Best advice - let him go until he’s not attached anymore. If it is meant to be, he’ll come back. The guilt will get to you, trust me.

My boss put in his notice last week; I was asked to fill in as the interim in his position (which I would like, because fuck you evil Dean; also, full time and better than the monopoly money I’m getting now) and then he rescinded his two weeks because the job he was leaving for doesn’t give benefits and he has kids.…

It sucks to walk away, and at the time it broke my heart. Now (with head more involved in the process) I am pretty sure that it would have broken the bank. Fingers crossed for a dry attic, and good news!

Him, Stacey Dash, and Donald Faison! What kool aid did they drink on the set of Clueless!

Yup. We had to back out of an offer on a super cool house with potential because, aside from potential it had a super jacked $35,000 roof problem that the owners would only credit $10,000 towards. House buying and selling is the pits. Sometimes a money type of pit... :-/

Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive over the last few weeks as my family dog, Jazzy, was dying. We made the incredibly hard choice to put her down on Monday morning. It’s been a super tough week, but I’m happy knowing we did the right thing and she’s no longer in any pain or discomfort. RIP Jazzy; here…

I had a job interview today that I think went well. Now just continuing on my little refinishing project. I got this one dresser online for $20 now I’m sanding down the casing and painting it white and staining the drawers.

You know what’s awkward? Having an acquaintances 6 year old grab at my charm bracelet and then relentlessly beg me for two of the charms off of it.

Nope, I doesn’t. Ever seen the movie Death Becomes Her? He drank that potion.

My dog, Princess Trudy, died this afternoon. I’m overwhelmed with emotion, but amazed at the love outpouring from family and friends. She was 16 1/2, and had a great life.

I would totally give her the full spectrum of beliefs, and let her figure it out. Don't answer for her — 6 year olds are curious sceptics, and I've found it best not to assume to much about the inspiration for their scepticism. Or their curiosity. Just make sure she has all the room, and information, she needs.

I bingewatched both the movie and the netflix series “wet hot american summer.” what magic is paul rudd using, because that man did not age a day.

every time i see a kinja notification, i sigh and say, “what stupid shit did i say this time?”

So my 6 year old just asked me what happens when we die. I’m an atheist and I don’t know how to respond to this question. I remember being told that there was a heaven when I was a kid, but I never believed it. I almost want her to believe it because she’s so anxious, but I doubt she will. She’s quite a skeptic.
