Depression, detachment, and here’s looking at you, bookshelf
2k11 was pretty much the worst year of my life. Just when I thought nothing could suck more, it would suck way more. My job got closed down by the bank, my childhood cat passed away, the two people I felt closest to moved, and I had to leave one of the best homes I have ever had. Bad things happen to everyone and I don’t think my life...

Welcome to the hugest cliché you have ever seen; a 20-something girl blogging about her cat. Whatever, s my d.
The beginning:
Anyone who has ever known me also knows that I have always had a deep and consuming desire to become a dog owner. The craigslist pet section was my homepage, ‘It’s me or the dog’ was my favorite TV show, and I’ve been collecting dog toys in secret for over five years. Not...

An open letter because this is how I process feelings;
It’s so weird to me that I ever thought I had anything in common with a person who considered my dietary choices a personal attack, who was scornful of the homeless and disadvantaged, and viewed me as a hateful, judgmental individual just for not believing in a Christian god. Proximity can make you blind. How did I ever not recognize that it...

I was in a play with my friend Lauryn as part of this show called Quickies at this place called Live Girls Theatre in a neighborhood named Ballard. I played a girl who gets smothered by her sisters as they explain the ins and outs of a wedding night. We all wore white dresses and no shoes, and our only prop was this giant stretchy white fabric that they wrapped me in. The plays were mostly pretty...

When I was 16 and got my heart kinda broken for the first time, Litza gave me a good snuggling everyday backstage of Magic and pet my head and told me I was a great person. In 7 years my problems have not really evolved any, but Litza is still here petting my head and snuggling and telling me I am great, and there’s nothing in the universe better than that.
2k11, you were mean to me and a...
