I gave birth to a business idea 3 days ago, and I think it's what I want to work for, for sure. I live in the midwest, and want to work with non-profits or community centers or both in one, and I concocted an idea I'm obsessing over and loving. There's a niche for my idea here in the midwest, and there's no one I'd…

Last week, I pretended to be a good housekeeping wife and I tried to cook for a week for my new husband. I made low sodium corn chowder (fresh everything, recipe from a vegan cookbook), then fancy quesadillas with broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, onions, carrots, cactus and cheese from Oaxaca), then I gave up,…

I just got married, and I got rid of my maiden name, and took up my mom's maiden name to give her a gift of some sorts (and I wanted nothing to do with my past with my dad), but on the wedding day, I thought my husbands name was too badass to not take, so I have them both and now it's superlong and won't fit into last…

Oh my! I couldn't say it even once, and I'm very eloquent. I reckon it's a shame that I ain't educated enough to express said eloquence...

We call them "nut rolls".

I can tell you why my IQ changed: THE MARIJUANA and BEERZ. I was the academic team allstar, then realized that having fun was fun. I got the party animal out in high school, and I was on Dean's list all of college. On the flipside, my "good" friends in high school turned out to be crazy asses in college and failed,…

mypyramid.org. It's a government thing, and it's not too bad. Thanks for reminding me to start using it again!

Yeah. See my beloved Sen. Jim Inhofe. [inhofe.senate.gov]

I got a perfect 0!

Not at all! I just finished it! And I never have pre-menstruel symptoms except for this weird pain in my right hip.

So I'm 24, and quite small in the bust department (36A maybe). Well, I'm soooo not pregnant (I swear that it is impossible unless I am holy) but my boobs hurt so much! Do they keep doing things? After like, 16? It sucks! I'm indifferent to what size they want to be, but damn, girls, ouch! I don't want to wear clothes.

I have some girl students that saw him perform Wednesday night, and I asked them how they felt about the situation with Rihanna, and three (of three) said she provoked him and she "shouldn't have messed with him." It made me so sad, and I wasn't able to reason with them. They were 14, 15 and 18, and all agreed it was…

It's sick, but this picture reminds me of Gummo, directed by Harmonie Korine. The first scene is a boy with bunny ears hanging out on an overpass with that same look. However, babies like that above just have a few expressions that express needs, but the poor boy from Gummo... In fact, all the poor characters from…

Every damn day I have to tell my students that "retard", "'tard", "re-re", "gay" (i.e. "homework is so gay!"), "fag", "faggot", "queer" etc. are not ok. High school students are shitty, because I remember being shitty, but not like that. Despite them going to the principal's repeatedly, it just doesn't sink in.…

In Belize I got, "Girl, I like the way you sway!" and laughed at him. It was so ridiculous and terrible that I only find humor in things like that.

Well, if I never implicitly trusted strangers, I would have never had the fun I do. Seriously. I'm married-ish, so I'm a bit more cautious, but in my wilder days I'd take a taxi at 2am to go to the West Bank, I'd pick up hitch hikers, I'd drive beaten up women from the grocery store parking lot to the shelter (I'd…

My wedding saga:

The first time I flew internationally, I was so, so, so very lucky. 8 trips abroad later, not so much. I was going to Russia, and had a 9 hour layover in Frankfurt. I was at one of those old smoking kiosks they don't have anymore, reading Siddhartha. Some guy comes up to me making chitchat about the book. He was born…

I was on track until, well, never, if high school is concerned My dad died of drug related stuff. I wish teachers would realize that there is so much more to a toubled kid than just apathy and hormones.

Thank you for caring. In the lounge, so many teachers talk about how shitty one kid is or the other, but since I'm so new (like 2 months new to teaching) I just can't dismiss it. I've already given my "Dead Poet Society" speeches, as I call them, but I can't just start thinking that they are shiity students because…
