Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? B. Nektar’s The Dude’s Rug for me. It’s the only cider that is worth a damn. It’s a spiced chai cider that has cloves, cardamom and cinnamon in it, and it is delicious. It’s a shame I can only get it once a year. I mailed a bottle to my brother in Phoenix for his birthday, since he can’t…

Crimsom Peak was creepy scary, but in the way that leaves you with a big grin on your face. And I second The Babadook recommendation.

American Mary is a kick ass super feminist horror movie that pisses on the idea of male gaze.

Well this has been a hell of a week. I’m sure I’ll be stuck in the grays but I just need to put this all down to get some perspective. A combination of things has me feeling somewhat hopeless (and more than a little misanthropic as a result) and I need to remind myself of the good things that happened this week.

I’m a big fan of The Babadook: it was suffocating and menacing and really good.

Hey Jezzies! I’m getting my IUD (skyla) in about two weeks. I’m excited and nervous—I know it’s going to be a bit painful and I’ll spot for a long while but it seems worth it to hopefully get rid of my period or any pregnancy worries for a few years. Also, no PMS sounds great b.c I tend to get frustrated and hate…

I don’t normally post on SNS because I’m in the greys and it’s pointless to post anything anywhere unless it’s right after the blog goes up. But I’m feeling really overwhelmed and like I need to talk to strangers.

Ungreyed and it feels so good!

Broke up with my boyfriend today. I’m feeling really good about my decision because he was a total jackass last week and embarrassed me in front of my friends. It went pretty smoothly, luckily, although he’s obviously upset.

My little sister and her new-ish boyfriend are getting a house together. Ever been stuck between being happy and jealous for someone you love? I'm right there. I'm older by four years and I can't even fathom buying a house right now. But I'm really happy for her.

I’ve posted before about my mom’s racist bitch girlfriend. I try my best to put up with it, along with her attitude and bitchy kids, but today was the closest I came to beating the shit out of her.

Ranting about something that happened last week, because I was still so upset last Saturday I couldn’t even talk about it without angry crying. So I am a first year teacher, and am doing really well building relationships with my kids and teaching the curriculum. Especially because I am at a title 1, turn around…

Hello Jezzies! (TLDR at the end)

Drinking my second lemonade and vodka. The past 26 hours have been the worst. The fact that I went to the gym and did the treadmill for an hour this evening felt like the biggest personal victory considering how sad and hopeless I feel. I sobbed a ton last night. WTF can I do? Watched a bunch of Girlfriend’s Guide to…

Ugh...group projects are terrible.

Oh la la I’m early. I got some wardrobe upgrades for my new job. Loft and NY & Co. had pretty awesome sales, if those are up your alley. I start the new gig on Tuesday and I need you guys to pray for me: I have a 3 hour round trip commute. Looks like a lot of reading is going to get done on the train.

I think we could all use a little weed tonight. Do weed, cheese, Triscuits and Dr. Pepper go together?

Guys, I had a really awful week. It was my birthday, but we had a crazy deadline at work, so I worked a series of 12-14 hour days. I was at the office from 9 am to 1 am on my birthday. Now I’m sitting at home doing doc review... but at least I’m in PJs and not at the office.

Hi Jezzies!
