I’m not going to take down everything I possibly can. There’s no way to fully remove myself from the internet, anyway. And I don’t really want to. But that means I need to come to terms with the fact (again, or still) that this is not an entirely anonymous existence I’m living.
I haven’t linked to [...]
The great David Schmader quoted from a certain skinny white girl’s very angry and upset post on CL about gettin’ upskirted (now gone): Last Days, scroll to Friday, August 15th. I will say nothing more about it for a long time.
Other than this: That skinny white girl was extraordinarily upset when she wrote the post [...]
I’ve been reading this one young woman’s blog for years. She’s written about her career (her blog got famous for her anonymous slicing of the Manhattan law firm (and lawyers) she worked for), her love life, herself — she’s written about all that, and more, and two bags of chips. Some of it’s really well [...]
I was critical of the public’s reaction to Heath Ledger’s death. Now that I’ve seen Dark Knight, I am sad he’s gone.
My friend Joe, one of the peeps we saw in Spokane, read my post about adulthood and thus thought of me when he stumbled onto this article in New York mag. I’m only part-way through it, and it’s a couple years old, but it’s still relevant. Who knows? Maybe this was everywhere when it came [...]
When I left MSN in April for my legally mandatory break, it was needed. The stress of the previous year+ had been wearing on me and it was starting to show. My health was getting rocky. I had a few anxiety/panicy-like attacks that never really got diagnosed/talked about. Then there’s my sciatica issue — I [...]
Over the past year or two I’ve gotten close again with the girls I hung out with around age 21 — not just on my efforts, by any means. They reached out to me. Then, a couple months ago, similar thing. I started hanging out with my best girlfriend from late high school and early [...]
She just got a new place in Wallingford. 1st floor, great view of the city. But she did move, in a Uhaul, on Solstice weekend in Seattle (oh, happy belated Solstice, folks!). And they couldn’t get her couch through the apartment door. Luckily, there’s a big sliding glass number off of her living room. [...]
I know some people, all in their mid/late-20s, who are obsessed with the idea of ‘growing up’ and ‘being an adult’ — like it’s this milestone, age, or other specific point in time that you hit and then all of a sudden You Are An Adult. They don’t mean ‘maturity’ — it’s something more evasive [...]
Do I start when we came up on the police tape at Seattle Center? Or when we saw a small fight get broken up while waiting for a cab? Or when I forgot I’m a skinny white girl and asked, “Gotta problem with him, son?”
Saturday night was violent. We heard a lot of sirens before [...]
