Growing up, I was friends with two really interesting twins. While I was rocking a mushroom cut and Club Monaco sweatshirt, these two girls were shaving their heads and wearing lots of mesh, camo and...

38 days ago I entered an essay contest that asked me “How do you live life on your own terms?”. 38 days ago I sat down at my computer and wrote the hardest words I ever wrote. 38 days ago...
I drove home today with fingers itching to type this post. Ahh, so this is what it’s like to be inspired! On a recent road trip, I listened to The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die ...
The Secret Project…. 1. I like Nickelback. I’ve never gotten why everyone thinks they’re THAT bad. 2. Having something to actually be sad about would make admitting that I’m ...
I am forever amazed at how fucking awesome the people I know are. I mean it. I’m not sure how I was able to cultivate friendships with such a talented, brilliant and gifted group of women but I...
I admit it. Sometimes when I’m on twitter casually trying to drum up sympathy for my current PINK EYE situation or trying to find someone who has watched the latest Downton Abbey episode and wa...
Last year I went to BiSC (check the previous post if you don’t know what this. And no, this isn’t going to be another plea for me to get my ticket paid for. ALTHOUGH I’D REALLY LIKE...
BiSC. Heard of it? I had the term written on my calendar at work and one of my students asked if BiSC stood for “Betcha I’m So Cool”. I almost agreed, because yes- that phrase defin...
New: Important follow-up at the end of the post Secret Project Time! Also, look at how cute Macy is! I know. I KNOW. Adorable. Now to the secrets! 1. My friend from work is dating a former coworker o...

(inspired by one of my *favourites) I’m thinking of blaming Nike (because after my last globalization class, I like to blame them for everything that’s wrong with the world) or all the pa...
It’s Secret Project time! 1. I am currently living overseas and my best friend back home is battling depression. If I could do one thing for my friend it would be to take all the strength in my...
The week Bridesmaids came out, I trekked to the theatre. I’d heard the hype and eagerly sat in my seat like a giddy dork waiting for the lights to go down so I could revel in 2 hours of pure es...
Anyone who has ever read my blog knows that I have a deep-seated, long-lived, would stab a kitten if someone told me they didn’t like the show, sort of love for a little television program call...
Dear students in my new class, I already adore you. Sure, you don’t need me in the same ways as my class last year but you still are so innocent and entertaining. While reading to you about Ter...
Lately I’ve become one of those people who routinely is up at 4:30am laying in bed attempting to use a soothing voice to tell myself to go the fuck to sleep. And when that doesn’t put me ...
Because I hate contests that only have one winner, I bought another set so there could be two! Hooray! Fancy shampoo for everyone! Except not really. Because only these two people won- Amie and Kelly...
So let’s get to the most important part of this post first. Am I the only one in love with Jeff and Jordan? (via) Okay, that took me over an hour to get that picture up there. Because I got suc...
Go here. Read.
