Stirling is, Apparently, A Boy's Name (I Am Not A Boy)
Hi. Remember how determined I used to be about not going by my real name because of how it's like nails down the chalkboard of my soul when it's mispronounced (which is, like, most of the time for people who don't really know me [which = entire internets])? Well, I've stopped being such a baby and I'm just going to correct people from now on--I ( Read more... ) -

Fairy Dust

Plus I Can't Even Chew. At All.
As I was lying back in the lying-back chair at my orthodontist this morning, I thought out a blog post. For this, my blog. I'm sure it was brilliant, or at least marginally interesting, but now, with the weirdness of wearing braces for the first time in my thirty-four years, all I can think of is Wow, I really wish I didn't have Puddle of Mudd ( Read more... ) -
I'm On It.
Okay, so I've been reading this book on procrastination, and how to stop it. I love reading books on how to do things way more than I like actually doing things (which just feeds into my natural procrastinatory bent). Part of the reason I'm reading this book is to figure out how much of my procrastination has to do with me being lazy (I'm guessing ( Read more... ) -
Come on, Self, Get It Together!
So tonight I'm wondering about My Brain vs. Myself. Sometimes I (Myself) intend (or don't) to do things but My Brain has other plans and I find out afterwards that I've been hijacked. This happens in small ways, like I will get up and be ten steps into the next room before I realize what I'm doing. Suddenly I will be like, oh, I guess I'm getting a ( Read more... )
