Small Town U.S.A.
- Me: It's going to be weird going to AA meetings here in Escanaba. I'm nervous to meet new people.
- Friend: Don't worry. All of our dads will be there.
Differences.
- Me: It's 4:15 a.m., why are you up?
- Mom: I just woke up.
- Me: FOR THE DAY!?
- Mom: Yea. Why are you up?
- Me: I just got home.
- Mom: FROM THE NIGHT!?
“I bring myself back to that last Christmas Eve with Julie all the time. Not as a morose exercise, or as an application in self-pity, but as reminder to live without regrets—-to never allow those that I care about to ever have to question how I feel about them.”
—I just recieved an amazing Christmas note from my friend of eleven years, Erica, about our friend since grade school, Julie, who got in a car accident five years ago on Christmas day and died on the 26th. While I was very happy two minutes ago and now I’m sitting here sobbing, it’s okay, because I’m remembering how much I loved her. Hey friends, you already know this but I’ll tell you again, I love you.
Adventures in Babysitting.
I don’t know how to take care of a baby and also do some other things.
THINGS I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO TODAY:
- Attach the plastic eating tray to the highchair
- Correctly put on a onesie
- Put the baby down for a nap
- Turn on my sister’s television
- Open my sister’s trash can (I think I broke it)

FOR ALL YOU YOOPERS: NPR covered a story on the dual life of TV6’s Vikki Crystal! I interned at TV6 many years ago and it was an amazing experience. By amazing I mean it was possibly the most ridiculous thing ever. My fondest memories are accepting payola multiple times a day, editing on a machine that I believe was from the 1960’s, and having a story we wrote about Bush being greeted in Britain by a mob of protesters getting pushed from the No. 1 news story of the day to second because someone sent us footage of a real deer humping a fake deer.
Party in the U.S.A.
This came on my iPod this morning on the bus ride to work and I GOT EMOTIONAL.
This is the only time in history that song will produce such an effect.
IT FEELS FUCKING REAL RIGHT NOW GUISE. Miley made me see that.
HELP OUR DANCE PARTY!
Sup bitches I’m making the playlist for that party tomorrow night for that whore who is leaving. I figured I’d ask for suggestions. What should I include?
“I don’t want no twitter tweeters, no fucking games, fucking photoshop. It’s like what the fuck? Can’t I get a fucking dial phone cell phone? Great. Now it’s fucking snowing.”

My father
I just spent the last thirty minutes walking my Dad through ordering something for Nicole online. Towards the end he was frustrated with the internet which led him to rant about other technologies and how he can’t find a simple cell phone to buy. I was crying of laughter. This man taught me everything I know about cussing and ranting.
