The three cubed ring circus in Snowspangled
Well, the journal-y people call it their “level 10 life” but mine is completely failed, so it’s really just a circus. There are monkeys. Family and friends: Actively avoiding about 50% of my s...
Hopscotch in Snowspangled
It’s the weekend. Kind of like a restart. Except you still have ten million things you didn’t do last week hanging over your head. I’m peeved at my husband. (This is not new.) Today’s crime: ...
Locke and Key in Snowspangled
No, no spoilers. That’d be rude. I’m just sitting here thinking, “jeez, this is the shit I loved eight, nine years ago…” and wondering if somehow I am one of those mystical unicorn indie kids wh...
A lot of negativity about love in Snowspangled
Because it’s not a wonderful thing. No, seriously. All that hearts and flowers business is bull. Love is really about saying “hey, here’s the one special person who can rip my heart right out ...
Been awhile in Snowspangled
It has. It has been awhile. This is for a lot of reasons, most of them bundled up with my fun combination of rage, despair, learned helplessness, and sheer avoidance. Talking about shit ain’t ...
I've lost my motivation in Candy Caned (December 2019)
where is my motivation no time for demonstration smoking…my…inspir....a-tion… I think. That was from memory. Rabid Green Day fans may accept my apology. Woke up being shouted at. Very over sle...
Pretty sure in Candy Caned (December 2019)
There isn’t any point to life at this point. But what the fuck, I’m lazy, I’ll just sleep til I die. Or until people wake me up to tell me my phone is full, can they get rid of these stupid pi...
Fuck. in Candy Caned (December 2019)
Still fighting the dean of students. I feel as though she’s threatening me. I sent her an email detailing my reactions to the discussion we had Wednesday and how I felt she had demeaned me by s...
what the fuck even in Candy Caned (December 2019)
So I had to meet with a bunch of high muckety-mucks today. Because when shit went bad like two weeks ago (before Thanksgiving?) I used the school food pantry, which is supposed to be consequence...
More angry stuff in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
I feel like a broken record, there’s rarely any happy here. So I fought with RP friend again today. I know it’s damn stupid, but I returned to an old site, and I signed up two characters, both o...
Hello, secondary trauma in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
I used to laugh about this shit. I mean, it was kind of funny. Who gets triggered by someone else’s experience? Me. That’s who. This forensic mitigation case has begun to give me nightmares, g...
All fall down in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
Everything’s exploded again. It’s exhausting to have this much shit be wrong with my life. I’ve had to see the dean of students. She wanted to know why I couldn’t get divorced now, so I had t...
Can I just go hibernate now in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
I’ve been crying all day. Doesn’t matter what it is, anything will set me off. I just cried a couple of tears over popcorn a second ago. There’s nothing wrong with the popcorn. It’s very butt...
Embrace the Suck in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
was on a patch on someone’s backpack. It kind of encapsulates my life right now. I’m up against some kind of wall: it’s part stubbornness, part apathy, part the speed of the changes, part proc...
if the cloudbursts thunder in your ear in Ma-jick Mo-ments (November 2019)
Nano. Day 3, technically, although I haven’t slept yet and therefore, I am not making word count. I am very slightly ahead of the curve and that is fine. I planned a grand parasail into the no...
Give me a minute in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
Or don’t, you don’t have to. I don’t have much to say in it, anyway. I have a yen to clean my room, but it’s so cold I might just crawl back into bed. I need to make a pot of chili. Maybe cor...
that's how I detox in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
No, I’m not secretly Amy Winehouse. Dude, I can’t even sing. I’m just sighing my way through the end of another sucktastic Monday. It didn’t start, and that is bad. I must adjust my alarms. ...
I didn't leave the Siamese title on... in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
you’re welcome. Every time I type, Makenzie has to come sit on or near or very close to the keyboard, as if she is telling me that she needs my hands on her more than I will ever need to express...
I am unmotivated in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
It’s 2:30 pm, it’s Saturday, it’s going to be a long week, and I’m unmotivated to begin. I’m wearing a sweater and pajama pants. I think I washed my hair Thursday. I feel invaded. The childre...
The procrastination is strong with this one in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
Had a rare treat this morning. Since the Beast had therapy, and her dad took her, I had the house to myself for a few minutes. I took advantage of it. I snuggled in bed and I listened to the q...
And another one bites the dust. in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
No, nothing died. My brain is on a Queen kick and I don’t have headphones. Miss ODD cut the wires on all my headphones because she was angry about bullies at school. Somehow, in her mind, cutt...
The Quest for a Motherfucking Cheese Bagel in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I cannot, for the life of me, find a fucking cheese bagel in town. Walmart hasn’t had them for a week. I know because I’ve looked. Every day. For a week. Winco was out of cheese ones. They h...
Today was a nonstarter in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I had a day planned today. I was going to roll out of bed (I was going to watch Doctor Who in bed last night, but the cat sat on the space bar and it wouldn’t restart, so I cried instead. Yeste...
Cluelessness in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I know I’m supposed to be merciful. I know I’m supposed to be consciously kind. I know I should make allowances for my husband. Today, I choose not to. I consciously choose myself today. And...
Toe-mato in Candy Corn on the Cob (October 2019)
I forced the hall closet door open today and slammed it into my third toe when I did, so I splintered my toenail three ways and there’s a magnificent little bruise running right along the top. B...
