“Casual is sexy. Caring is creepy. You don’t want to show your hand, and you certainly don’t want to fall in love. At least until you do, and by then it’s too late.”

managers who care about me enough to not dump unreasonable amounts of work on my plate, but rather will work with me to prioritize and reassign so I don’t go batshit crazy

apocalypse? no.
I am getting so sick of seeing commercials for end-of-the-world movies, TV shows, video games…as if real-life apocalypse paranoia wasn’t aggravating enough.
On the bright side, the fact that I know the nature of commercials these days is a good sign that I have been relaxing and watching a lot of TV and movies, which is exactly what I wanted to do this weekend. I came down with a...

I’ve noticed a trend. My life is absolutely the most crazy it has have ever been. Usually I would be falling apart, having panic attack after panic attack. Yet, I manage to not only get my work done, but do it well, play when I can, and stay mentally stable. I feel stronger and more confident in myself than ever.

right as rain
As I’m racking my brain for something meaningful to write about, my roommate’s adorable kitten is gnawing on the corner of my laptop, my new favorite artist Adele is belting out the soundtrack to my life, and I’m bitching about boys with my sister via Facebook chat. You know, life is pretty darn good.
That’s always what I come back to these days. There is a lot going on in...

Inspiration for the name change came, oddly enough, as I was driving. 2011 is the year I am taking charge of my own life, and since my name is super cool and lends itself well to puns, I’m giving this a go.
I have to say, it feels real good to be confident in my skin right now, to be making my own choices and not asking permission, or apologizing for how I feel. Granted, this first month of...
