Why does green tea even exist??

13 04 2010

Seriously. Gross.

DO NOT BUY.

And I just realized it’s caffeine free. WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT IS THE POINT??

I’m sorry, ya’ll. I am Irish as fuck. I like potatoes, Guinness and BLACK FUCKING TEA. If I can see the bottom of my mug, it ain’t strong enough. Black like my heart. THAT IS TEA. Fuck you hipsters and your faux tea. Ugh.

Wondering who pissed in my Wheaties today? Tulane. I got an email yesterday afternoon after NO COMMUNICATION AT ALL denying me. Best part? They copied all of the applicants that got turned down. CC’ed NOT BCC’ed. Classy.

I was very upset about it yesterday. I thought I was ok, and then my heart slowly started to break. I just can’t believe all that stress and work and MATH was for nothing. Le sigh. It’s not my time yet. NOLA waits another year. Now, excuse me. I have to go find some black tea with caffeine.





Come on now darlin’, please darken my door.

I just woke up in my own bed, with my bear and my first thought was “how did my bear get to the Scotsman’s house”? So I rolled over to find him and he wasn’t there. That’s when I realized I was in MY bed. I haven’t been here in so long it feels foreign. It freaked me out. I texted him. We said goodnight hours ago. I think he’s still at the hospital with his mom. I’ll explain it all later. I’m too tired and fucked up to go there, but too fucked up to not share what just happened. I miss him. It’s barely been 24 hours since I’ve seen him, but my whole body misses him. When he let me go on the phone tonight, he paused and said “take care of yourself”. I think what he meant to say was, “I love you.” So I said it back, silently. How is this so easy and so hard at the same time? I guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to ask him that. Goodnight, loves. I hope you’re all safe and warm in your beds.

Well she once believed in Jesus, but she never believed in love

22 08 2009

People were CRAZEH today, ya’ll. I don’t even know what the hell was going on. This week has been up and down and all over the place. I. am. tired.

I cried a lot tonight. I’m so totally overwhelmed by life. It doesn’t have anything (much) to do with anyone in particular, (read- a boy) life is just getting hard. I am broke. Like painfully broke. It sucks. I do nothing but pay bills and there’s nothing left. A budget ain’t going to help at this point. I. am. fuuuuucked. I work way more than 40 hours a week at the real job, so if I do a part time gig it’ll be weekends only. I’ll be a fucking treat come Monday morning.

I’m about to have some come to Jesus talks with the credit card companies. You raise my interest again, I’ma raise my fist into your face. Understood? For fuck’s sake. I do my best, I try my hardest, it ain’t workin’. Cut a girl some slack, shit.

That’s the main thing that’s got my p’s in a twist right now. Numero dos? The fucking dreams are back. Ever since the date with the Zookeeper (it’s coming…in a big way…yeah, yeah that’s what she said) the dreams about Douche McGee have been back in full effect. I don’t even have to like the dude I go out with. It always ends up the same. Go on date, have creepy realistic dreams about ex. My subconscious hates my ass. The one from last night? Oh this one is good. I had a secret meeting with him at my favorite bar. Who walks in? Banky. Of course. Let’s just deal with all my unresolved issues at once. I lied to Banky in my dream and told him Douche was someone else. He then decides to join us for drinks. If that happened in real life (it totally would because it’s my life) I would slit my damn wrists. Seriously brain, shut up.

Someone I would never have drinks with if Douche was involved? Guam. I had an excellent talk today with one of my oldest friends. We’ve been friends for about 12 years…but never met. A girl he went to school with moved a few states away and started going to school with me. This was back in the stoneages before Twitter, facebook and Myspace so all we had was email. And email we did. She would forward my emails with my snarky comment and…I say this because he reads this and I know he’ll love this…he fell in lurve with me. For years Wifey swore he and I were going to get married. It didn’t exactly turn out that way, he’s married to a lovely girl now and I abhor marriage, but we’re still friends.

He went into the Navy and traveled all over the world. He’d call me from time to time from exotic locals. Imagine sitting in your dorm room and getting a phone call (on a regular phone, not a cell) from Guam. Guam! So that’s your nickname, pal. Guam. Hey, it could be worse. I could call you Tropic Thunder. Ew. Read the rest of this entry »





Today I don’t feel pretty and I’m tired of trying to fit in

17 08 2009

I had this whole blog planned out to celebrate my summer without Perez Hilton and how I don’t miss him at all and what finally made me give him up. (Hint: Part of it had to do with him saying something nasty about Joan Collins. Bitch, don’t you EVER.)

Then I took a tour of facebook.

This is going to turn into a total bitch and moan, so if you don’t want to read it, don’t follow the jump. I’m serious. Don’t say I didn’t warn your ass.  Read the rest of this entry »





Tomorrow I swear I won’t act this way. And I know it seems like that is what I always say.

9 08 2009

I should be writing right now. I don’t want to. I’m afraid of what will come out.  I have so much to say but no way to say it. It’s the times like this that force me to write. I need to purge. Confess. I can’t. Some sins are not meant to be shared. I feel better, but I also look like an asshole.

I know it would make me feel better, and lord knows I need to shake the grip anxiety has on me right now. I just don’t want to admit my stupidity. Or look like an asshole.

Savannah and I had a great today, but it was lurking in the back of my mind all day. The closer we got to the capital, the faster my heart started to beat. The roar of it in my ears was deafening. It only quieted when I saw the skyline in the rearview mirror.

Every song has some profound meaning right now. I was just gutted listening to all the new Stick Figure Drawings songs up on myspace. Pedro the Lion – The Longest Winter sounds like my inner monologue right about now. I am trying to avoid anything that may actually push me over the edge. I’ve wasted enough tears this week.

I just need to push through it. Every six months I do this dance and play this game and it’s hard. It hurts and it makes me so mad I could spit, but at the end of the day, I know that whether it feels like it or not, I’m in control. That’s what keeps me going.





Last one standing

2 08 2009

So, I started this at about 10:30 Saturday morning. It is now 2:00am. You see, in the middle of writing the epic blog below, my middle sister (Totoro) comes in and tells me our baby sister (Dinga) is missing. She is 17 years old. Totoro is panicking. We have a very strict rule that only one of us is allowed to panic at a time. Her phone is off and no one knows where she is. Knuckles and Magellan (my stepmom and father) are driving around town looking for her and calling all her friends. One of them finally breaks and spills that the little shit drove 2 hours in the middle of the night to a lake for a big ass drunken beach party. Totoro and I are now LIVID.

Dinga turns her phone back on and texts me the simplest truth ever told, “I’m fucked”. Totoro can’t get out of work, so I have to drive an hour home, fuming mad, alone. I stop in to see my piercer. He gives the best. hugs. EVER. I also love him to death. He is a very special person in my life. We end up piercing my left tragus and right rook. It’s now 4:30 and I haven’t eaten anything. I drive the 20 minutes left in my journey. As I’m on my way, Magellan calls. Dinga is missing. AGAIN.

Now I’m really fucking angry. I am swearing and threatening her with bodily harm. He tells me to meet him at his favorite bar and we’ll get a bite to eat. He really is a shitty parent, but I am starving. I meet him there and promptly order a Jameson and ginger ale to calm myself. We eat and Dinga calls, she’s home. I now get to go play buffer between my very angry Knuckles and Dinga. This is exactly how I wanted to spend my weekend.

I haven’t had a chance to talk to Dinga alone yet, mostly because I’m afraid I’ll choke her out, but I need to. She doesn’t understand what she did and why we’re angry. She has princess syndrome something fierce. She doesn’t like to be told no, so she does whatever she wants anyway. I talked a long time with Knuckles about everything. She told me some things I didn’t know. My favorite? The dog found a pregnancy test in the trash and fished it out and brought it to Knucks. Seriously. Best story I’ve ever heard.

So anyway, tomorrow I’m going to spend some quality time with the Knuckles and then head back to Totoro’s, probably with my father in tow. This week started awesome, I should have known it’d end in a flaming ball of shit. Anyway, after the jump is what I was going to write about today. Enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »





It’s plain to see, you’re a dangerous thing

15 07 2009

Well…fuck.

I burnt my Toast, ya’ll. It’s over before it began. I am…irritated. Apparently he wanted to tell me when he came over on Monday, but he couldn’t. I knew. He looked so sad. I could read every thought on his face. He talked and talked and talked. When he ran out of steam I let it all sink in. Then I said “ok”. “Is that all you have to say?” Of course it’s not. But it was all I wanted to say.

Hold onto your asses folks, are you ready?

He hurt my feelings. So I wasn’t shouting my love from the mountain tops, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t crazy about him. Sure once I realized we were completely incompatible I pulled back a little. But I talked about it! I expressed things! I reassured and listened! Not good enough. I almost reached through the phone when he said he felt it could be any guy in his situation, that it had nothing to do with him.

Oh. Hell. Naw.

Many have tried. More have failed. I have been explicitly clear over the past two years about the fact that I don’t want a boyfriend. They all tried to change my mind. I dropped them quicker than panties on prom night. (It hurt to write that).When I started this dating nonsense I said I didn’t want a boyfriend. When I met him, that changed. I was willing to try. I wanted to give it a real chance. He is the first guy in two years I have admitted to being in a relationship with! But it could have been anyone. Yeah. Ok.

I feel let down. My best wasn’t good enough. He got all sanctimonious and preachy on me. Look, I’ve gotten this speech before. Don’t talk down to me. I have been in love. I have felt that happiness that is so big you think your heart is going to explode. There is no way something so tiny could contain something so big and wonderful. I know what it’s like to look at someone and be filled with a love so deep it takes your breath away. Excuse me if I don’t want to go and just give myself away to the first guy that calls me pretty. I have never been desperate, I’m not about to start now.

I gave my heart to someone once. I’m not 100% sure I ever got it back. There is not a fucking day that goes by that I don’t think of him. There is not one day that I don’t miss him. I’m not looking for a fucking replacement. This girl wants the real deal. I’m not going to just open up and rush into something. I don’t have to. Don’t fucking treat me like a godamned pariah because I am single at 27. It’s not 1950. My ovaries are still steaming fresh. There is nothing wrong with me because I am not dependent on another human being for survival. I love you people, I do. I know you mean well. I do. But I am done. No more advice. No more treating me like a child. I am so happy for those of you that found your person. I lost mine. I don’t know that there is another one for me. If there is, he’ll find me when the time is right. In the meantime, I am very happy with who I am. I’m stuck in my ways. I also don’t think I’m a whore. We’re all adults here, it’s just a little sex. Read the rest of this entry »
