(Extra reply to say I briefly worried that this would be unnecessary self-plugging, but if there was ever an appropriate time to share this, it would be now)

That person sounds like a jerk!
Funny (and awkward) story, when I was getting my BFA, I had a critique of this piece, then later that day, a classmate called to ask about an assignment due-date. Suddenly she […]

Yay, thank you for writing this! I’m going to save it so I don’t have to explain it to people over and over. Unless it’s in person, which is THE WORST.

I think the hardest thing for me is when I somehow […]

I will match you, invisible dollar for invisible dollar.

I am starting to amass so much sparkly nail polish. This Opi’s “make a comet-ment” over some grey loreal.

I have the flu, but I’m feeling a bit better, and have a hot toddy. Unfortunately, it tastes like more, and that probably won’t make me feel better. First week back to school is a bit of a wash, though.

I wonder about some of those food ones! I was using a fruity smelling hairspray for awhile, but I went to a picnic and was attacked by wasps…

Congrats! Apartment searches are exhausting.

Agh! I just found the article, and am wondering hy did I read the comments. They’re so mean.

I spent summer not wanting to overheat my apartment, too, so now is the time for all of the dried things I have in jars. Rice, weird rice mix from the asian market, quinoa, millet (when did I even buy this?!), […]

Good luck with your rent stuff! My partner had some issues with his last paycheque, which means I have to pay this month’s rent out of my student line of credit. So glad I have that, right now.

Ugh, last time I was on it, I called this nurse hotline because I was out of town and just wanted to know when I could expect the moon-face to go away. She said that wasn’t a side effect of prednisone and made me […]

What app is this?

It’s a t-shirt I inherited from my older cousin in the early ’90s. It still has her name on the tag.  It has a dinosaur with a surf board and it says “Surf-a-saurus” on it.  I wear it when I really don’t want to […]

Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself?  That’s a thing I need somebody to tell me sometimes.  Other people don’t think about others in such a black/white pass/fail kind of way, and it may be […]
