Today
sarkastickunt:
My 16 year old daughter had to have a simple surgery today, and what was supposed to be a routine ambulatory procedure turned into a moment of absolute white knuckled panic.
She’s never had any surgery. Nothing more invasive then a cavity filled. She’s never had blood drawn, or an IV. She was nervous. She was angsty. And I reassured her over and over that she was being silly, and...
I need a grownup to hold my hand.

Today was supposed to be the start of something big. I’m starting to think about my future and what that means and where I want it to go and what I want it to be like.
But then I sat down and started to do it. I quickly realized that I have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t know where to start. I don’t know where to look.
This is really hard, you guys. The answers were supposed...
WatchThis is an older video of my son, he’s 1 year old in this video, and he’s always loved dancin, this was one of his favorite songs then. It was on an apple commercial and he would always stop and dance to it so we downloaded it for him. This is my favorite video.’
EDIT: Something happens to the sound at the end, I dunno why, but it goes away. Also I’m terribly sorry for...
Educational Coffee Yo!
So I am up insanely early for me, because I am going to the museum with K, and our munchkins. I feel like I’m somewhere between no sleep and I think I had a nap. But today will rock, that is all.
C.Y.P. you made her smile
So I know it’s close together, but this didn’t really fit in with the tone of the last post.
K went out with someone we’ll call C.Y.P. because names are unimportant anyways. What’s important that at least currently K is happy. There are too few genuinely good, kind, pretty, happy people in this world. K is one of those people. So I’m glad that she spent sometime...

I’m not a bad person, I try not to offend or upset people as a general rule. I generally keep quiet about a lot of things I find offensive, because of freedom of speech and all that jazz. When I do say something I only say it once, I don’t argue unless I married you or your one of my few close friends (T, K and O). I walk the fuck away because I don’t want to deal with your...
Tweet Thief
beaubock:
A couple days ago a friend sent me a DM alerting me that he had spotted one of my tweets in someone else’s feed, unattributed. Now I’m not so narcissistic as to get that upset about someone stealing one of my tweets, but the more I thought about it, the more the principle of the matter really got under my skin.
The user is @ZachIsHere. Looking a little further into his feed, I...
So barbie....
If barbie were a real girl what size do you think she would be? Small? Extra Small? I’m personally a large. On one hand I’m kinda unhappy about it. I used to be a medium, and my stomach was all smooth and flat and I liked it that way. But I like being a large. I know I’m not fat, but I’m not skinny anymore. Other than my stomach, I’m soft in all the right places, and...
Not that kind of late night
I watch a lot of television. Most of it is some sort of crime show. Cold Case, Murder She Wrote, Law & Order S.V.U., Criminal Minds, they all enthrall me. I used to watch C.S.I., but I’ve lost interest in it. I’m also probably the biggest scaredy cat you will ever meet. I don’t like people, doors always locked, and I have cell just so I can safely walk around my town by...
Murder. Intrigue, and Jessica Fletcher
I’m spending my Saturday night, or Sunday morning if you will, watching Murder She Wrote. I haven’t seen this show in years. Not since early high school at least. There’s a lot tangled up with this show for me. It was always a comfort to see Jessica Fletcher sticking her nose into murder after murder. Watching this show is like seeing an old friend, one who is well loved, but you...
Hearts, Sparkles, and bursting into flames
There are some movies that are, and rightfully so, instant cult classics. Interview with the Vampire, Dracula, Nosferatu, and many many others. There’s just something there, that makes them awesome. Something that makes you want to watch them again and again. Then there are movies that take an entire genre and in trying to tone it down, make it suck, or actually not suck that is. They take...
Words are tricky.

I would like to write a strongly worded letter about the cleaning staff at the office, because I am not pleased with them. But I can’t figure out how to make “BUT THEY BROKE THE ARM OFF MY PAPERCRAFT EDGAR ALLAN POE LIKE THREE TIMES THIS MONTH” sound like a legit complaint.
Man, you think YOU’VE got problems…
You could say that they mistreated and damaged the art that you keep...
This is a new song, as in written recently, it...

I kinda love this, wouldn’t wear it, but love it
Sid and Nancy
I’m watching what has become one of my very favorite movies, curled up on the couch with my husband (known as poeticvenom on twitter, and will be known as that from here on out) feeling like it has just been a very long day, and as the killers would say “my stomach is sick”. I’m not really sure why, maybe it’s just winter getting to me. I’ve been trying to keep...
On behalf of Toddler Beat Magazine
I love the chipmunks. They remind me of when I was little, and everyone I knew said I was like Janette. I also really like Valentines day, I didn’t used to. It wasn’t that I thought that it was commercialized or anything, and I didn’t hate it, I was merely apathetic about it. I think I kinda grew into it, it’s a nice feeling to be thinking about love when it’s cold...
