I met a Pisces last night. First happy one I’ve met in a long time. So naturally I grab his hand and ardently beg him not to kill himself. I’ve had bad luck with Pisces in the past. Later that night he shoved his finger up another man’s butt. Continue reading Please don’t die

Extra Version
Paradoxical qualifiers (ie Extroverted Introvert)
are a blatant rape of the English language
and I’m sick of it.
Introversion is not a symptom of anxiety.
Introverts choose to spend time away from other people
– not because socializing causes stress – (re: Insecurity)
but maybe because we know how to take care of ourselves.
If I appear well-balanced and happy
and you say I’m not introverted
I might wonder why you have an opinion
About how I feel on the inside?
You should do yoga.
Everyone knows you’re supposed to stretch. The thing with yoga is that it’s not stretching. It’s creating space. Just stretching temporarily makes you feel longer/freer/looser. Creating space is a more permanent goal. With regular yoga you discover space in-between things you thought were rigid. Like ribs. And pelvic bones.
Welcome To PAX!
This new video series actually deters me from trying out cosplay at PAX. I’m starkly off-center from the average con-goer and old fears emerge when I’m among them. Greatly enjoying all my new-thing trying, I still don’t excel in a large group. No reason to call any attention to myself. I tend to get bullied by Gamers. Just as a 4-year old is excluded from the 10-year old’s party games, it’s a circumstance that simply exists no matter how much she wants to change it. That’s how I feel, showing up late to the gunfight with my knife.
Brunch
It’s so surreal in Seattle. People totally do brunch here but not the way churchgoing Southerns do. It’s much more casual. People leisurely get up and go out whenever they feel like it from 10am till whenever. The regimented waves of services attendees from noon to one on a Memphis Sunday means you have to get up and get your brunch before 11am if you want to enjoy it. Otherwise it’s a circus of socialites and the devout.
Restricting bars with indoor smoking to a 21+ rule forced every Midtown brunch place in Memphis to ban smoking. They couldn’t afford to lose the Sunday family business.
9-year olds
I’m observing a 10-year birthday party made up of young boys. About 50% Asian, notable only because it’s not the demographic of my hometown. They are scared of me and my lime green mohawk, maintaining a respectful distance. That’s slightly gratifying but my smile gives me away. I’m just a strange girl typing in the corner, here by the grace of adulthood. Why I’m here is irrelevant. Their opinion doesn’t count. Continue reading 9-year olds

Glorious darkness.
Loudmouth Cunts
I’m back at the Highline again tonight. This time, all female comedy show called #loudmouthcunts. I happened on this show last month and enjoyed it immensely. When I saw a Memphian on the lineup for tonight I high-tailed it to Cap Hill after my Sunday drinking. Continue reading Loudmouth Cunts
Story Time
I came up with and told a story in less than 8 hours. That’s like Top Chef time constraints for me. They don’t make reality TV about writing competitions or telling true stories. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Good writing can save a mediocre product, a concept I’d like to discuss more with Mike & Jerry. I think the question of how much hype is too much bears more analysis. It might finally convince people to start taking care with things like spoilers and poorly constructed movie previews. Continue reading Story Time
