“Can you believe ’15’?” Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke....”

I just wanted such a beautiful thing on my blog.

I am not a Choose Your Choice feminist and I am not “anti-judging” or “anti girl-on-girl crime.” I do not understand the idea that mothers must defend other mothers, no matter the charge, merely because they have motherhood in common. But I don’t have a kid so I exist on a lower plane of understanding in the first place.
I would like to co-sign my name to this. Please and thank...

Why would I take dating advice from 3 single...
elizabethanne:
I’d much rather go have a visit with my grandparents who have been happily married for almost 59 years and who really understand what love is.
I rarely take true relationship advice from anyone who is not known to me personally, because well. EVERYONE is different. Every single person who walks down the street is different. Do I need to sell this point more? Are some things...
Gap between U.S. rich, poor is widest in Atlanta |... →
hebbard:
ATL at the top of the list, and your very own Athens-Clarke County coming in at number 6.
Here’s the US Census report [PDF], if you’re a giant nerd who likes reading tip sheets from the US Census.
I’m actually surprised, but I guess that’s how out of touch I may be. Too bad, so sad that our Occupy Atlanta protests have not gained more traction. Though supporting the...
No More Nice Girls Playlist →
ruthcurry:
I have had too much fun creating this No More Nice Girls-inspired playlist. Ellen Willis for sure had her own opinions about music, so this is in no way trying to speculate as to what she would have or would not have liked (except for the Janis Joplin; she’s on the record as loving her). Instead, when I was playlist-curating, I thought of ODB’s dedication at the beginning of “Baby I...
for kathleen
She says I haven’t posted this week so she has no way to kill time at work. Um, I love you but no. But fine, here’s a list of things I have read this week and other facts about ME that pertain to this week. Good talk.
I’m not drinking during the week for awhile. I may actually quit drinking except for like … Saturdays. For … an indeterminate amount of time....
Because I feel like bitching.
Anyone remember how I got a ticket in March for going 17mph over and tried to pay it in April and when I went to the courthouse they said they couldn’t the ticket in the system so wouldn’t let me pay? They said I was responsible for the ticket but didn’t know how I could pay it. Maybe you do remember. That was over 6 months ago. I had forgotten all...

I just. I know it’s NRL … pukesville.
I have work to do so I shouldn’t get into a huge debate on Facebook so I’m not I guess. But I just let myself get so upset that people would not donate to worthy causes or let their daughters be in Girl Scouts because they happen to give money to Planned Parenthood. It pissed me off when my mother stopped volunteering with the United Way because they gave money to Planned Parenthood. I...

There’s a reason that whenever I read the ‘pin I think: THESE ARE MY PEOPLE. People just. like. me!
some shows don't stand the test of time
Y’all, so check it. On a related note to the navel-gazing I’m putting down this evening: I’ve been rewatching Felicity on Netflix Instant. I remember watching in high school I think. I was disturbed by the premise (girl follows boy to college) but meh, I’m a sucker for awful television and was more so at 15. I watched Jack & Jill. DO YOU REMEMBER?
Anyways, Felicity...

dating
I hate it. So demoralizing. Ups and downs and awful and okay. But I keep doing it. Forcing myself to meet dudes from OkCupid. Yet to meet anyone all that great. One total asshole. The rest “meh.” And pretty sure the feeling is mutual, which is the demoralizing part. I’m not great at this shit and it has me feeling extremely insecure. The constant “what is wrong with...

what a week
So I haven’t been around these parts this week. Because, well.
Sunday: ridic Pride parade party, drunk, got sick-ish from all the food, drinks, stress about a license thing
Monday: worked like normal, no Columbus Day off
Tuesday: fly to Philly at 8am, picked up by coworker for our 3.5 drive to Williamsport, PA, client meetings and a management team photo shoot, fancy dinner at the Olive...
“Miss Vilibert, you have much to learn.. Contrary to what all the sexist female...”
– Got some great life advice from a commenter on a piece I wrote for HowAboutWe. My favorite part is that he capitalized “Penis”. (via diana-vilibert)
You are pretty fucking depiscable.
Also: since sex is all about men and blah blah blah, then shouldn’t we be putting out left and right and all...
