Sitting in my car in the grocery store parking lot, flicking purple bangs from my eyes while I eat discounted Easter candy and listen to The Smiths on my car radio. I tap my combat boots with the drums and contemplate the esoteric nature of the holiday and its ancestral paganism as I open another … More Memento Mori
Things are going to be a bit different around here. For one thing, it’s going to be a bit, well, more likely a ton more active. I realized lately something simple, profound, and freeing: I don’t care what anyone thinks about me anymore. And that’s a good thing. Looking back over my life, I can … More A New Attitude (But Really)
So… hi. Let’s just acknowledge that it’s been a lot longer than any of us hoped before I got back here with an update and stuff and move on. While I’ve maintained my relative radio silence, though, I’ve been up to things. New things, exciting things, challenging things. I now have a podcast. With my sister… Did … More Not Dead, Just Podcasting
I have a habit of separating my personal life from my blogging life, and recently I’ve wondered if I might benefit from a greater extent of transparency and intimacy with all of you lovely people, and so I want to, for a moment at least, get more personal. Firstly, I want to apologize for … More I’m Back From San Francisco
This is a cross-post from my much more personal blog made to catch any more personal ideas and thoughts that don’t fit in other places online. Because my identity is important to me, and shapes a good deal of what I do, I want to share it with you as well. Enjoy. Today is national coming … More National Coming Out Day: Demisexuality and Me

Sometimes, very often, the derailment works. The trick isn’t to power through it, or to stick it out, or to beat ourselves up for … More Sometimes Shit Happens
The only thing harder than beginning is re-beginning. I’ve been gone a long while, I know. I’ve wanted to write many times, wanted to share some thoughts that never materialized into words. I’ve also wanted to skip over the bit about me taking such a prolonged leave of absence and pretend no one has noticed … More I’m back, and then I am gone
I know, I've been away. For months. There is a saying out in the world, often attributed to either the Irish or Woody Allen interchangeably, but the origin makes it no less profound. If you want to make god laugh, make a plan. I started out this year with a plan. I was fresh … More I’ve been gone, making the gods laugh
I think sometimes we all feel like this. The day started out promising with an early start and something to do. As I mentioned in the previous post, I ventured into the unknown by going to a brunch where a group of lovely and amazing people all discussed a chapter of The Happiness Project by … More The Weary Soul and Artistic Angst
Firstly, I do have the second installment on characters in a rough draft on my iPad, I promise. If life treats me well, that should go live this weekend. I wanted it to be up last week, but it's a lot of information to wrangle, and my life has taken a turn for the interesting. … More Priorities
