J: Do they call it the Great White North because it's all white people?
Me: No. It's the snow. There's a lot of snow.
J: Oh. That makes sense.
Me: Though there are a lot of white people.

new short-term goal life goals
I need to:
work on hating things less. Specifically: my job, running, people.
stop crying all the time
get rid of a bunch of clothes and do laundry on, like, a semi-regular basis so I’ll stop leaving the house looking like mess all the time.
make friends that are not my cat. or on the internet. or awful.

I'd rather be at home with my cat.
all day, every day.

Just something to keep in mind the next time you find yourself in a soul sucking job or your grandmother tries to set you up with a (distant) cousin.

kissin' cousins
A couple months back my grandmother and my great aunt tried to set me up with my great aunt’s new husband’s grandson which, to say the least, I was not terribly pleased about. For their part, they were not terribly pleased that I failed to respond as they’d hoped- meaning not at all- but seeing as how I refuse to flirt in front of my father there’s not a snowball’s...
it's a good plan
Work Buddy: So today sucked.
Me: Yup. And it's only Monday.
WB: Ugh. I'm going to head home, open a bottle of wine and grill some shit.
Me: I've got to run some errands first but I plan on being drunk and full of cornbread and chili by 8:30.
WB: By "errands" do you mean pick up whiskey?
Me: And also cheese and buttermilk.
WB: Aha. I like your plan.

it's either the heat or the lack of whiskey
I’ve been feeling particularly homesick lately and not for family- they’ve been annoying the ever loving hell out of me- or friends- all my favorites left the ATL years ago- but just for my hometown. I don’t know what’s going on with me but I’m hating my job, my hip hurts and I’m losing patience with just about everyone I know. I see two possible explanations...

What Would the Evil Ex Do?
Lately I’ve been worrying that I’m going to be single forever and end up a crazy, bitter, humorless bitch like my crazy, bitter, humorless bitch of a coworker. To combat this the bestie and I have developed a game where I think about what my asshole ex would do in a given situation. So when I’m feeling all “oh noes, I’m going to die alone” I ask myself what the...
Sam: Our waiter's kind of pretty.
Me: Agreed. He's a cutie.
Sam: How old do you think he is?
Me: No clue. Younger than us?
Sam: But maybe not way younger than us?
Me: Or maybe he just looks young? We look young.
Sam: And he got to card you so he knows exactly how old you are.
Me: I know! grrrrrr
Sam: We should get to card him so we can know just how creepy we're being.
Me: It's only fair.

crazy cat lady status
Twice this week I’ve found myself awake at 4am and worrying about whether or not my cat has a fulfilling life. I have yet to come to any conclusion about what a “fulfilling life” means in cat terms.
My baby is having ongoing issues with not peeing/not peeing enough/peeing blood and I’m freaking out but he seems largely unaffected. I bought him special vitamins and twice a...

I didn't actually eat dinner last night
But I did have fried jalapeno cheese, all of the beers and have a long heart to heart about success v. happiness and commitment issues with a guy friend with whom I have a somewhat complicated, mostly platonic relationship.
I also forgot to take my antihistamines when I finally got home.
So basically, I have too many feeling and I hate today.

My thoughts on what Emily wrote are best summed up as follows:

jaimeleigh:
When people talk about women wanting to have it all they mean wanting to be kick ass at their job/climbing the ladder etc., and also being a kick ass mom, making hot breakfast in the morning and sewing the school concert costume in the evening, right? (And, yes, being hot and skinny but I think that is not actually a necessary component of the having it all discussion.)
So, like,...

clearwithsparkles replied to your chat: I got highlights and then somehow this conversation happened. Don’t ask me how.
You’re prettier and not a super-cunt. What is wrong with her?
She’s crazy. She is also judgmental, short-tempered, unqualified for her job and quite possibly the worst judge of character I have ever encountered. I’m one of the few people who still speaks to...

Bitchy coworker: You're younger and prettier but I have more hair.

Bitchy coworker: My hair is thicker I think. And I obviously don't have to do as much to it.

sometimes I feel left out
but then I try to think about all the times I probably leave other people out.
It doesn’t actually make me feel better but it sure makes me feel like a shitty person.

I got approximately 2.5 hours of sleep last night...
Also, my hives have returned and my cat pissed blood this morning.
To say that I’m pretty damn miserable is an understatement and, in the interest of full disclosure, both vomiting and crying are on the table right now.

On the one hand, it’s making me feel like an inept old fool. But on the other hand, I sure am learning a lot and my home highlight experiment seems to have turned out well. Now if I can just figure out the whole eyeliner thing I’ll feel kind of like a real grown up lady.
A Single Dad And His Unlikely College Roommate →
In 1996, Wil Smith enrolled as a freshman at Maine’s Bowdoin College. At 27, he had recently finished serving in the Navy. But he set off for school with his 1-year-old daughter, Olivia, in tow. Now that she’s a teenager, Olivia sat down with her dad at StoryCorps to look back on their “college days” together.
“I wasn’t planning on having you as my roommate,” Wil tells Olivia. “I actually...

Everything that happens on the show makes me anxious but this apartment is amazing and only in one episode.
After watching the first episode my friend sent me this text:

On my walk to work this morning I saw four different girls wearing crop tops and sporting ugly ass top knots. This is a thing now. I’m gonna need that to stop.

Wednesday things
My upstairs neighbor is being all loud in the middle of the night again and it is reeking havoc on my nerves. I’m proud of myself for not killing her but not so proud that I haven’t gotten it together to go up there and tell her to knock it off.
Around 2am I decided to give in to the itchy hives and scratched like a toddler on crack who’d been attacked by fire ants. That was a...
