The Writing

  • The definition of ‘EMSing’ #girlproblems

    I’ve always laughed at jokes made about pre-menstrual syndrome. You know, the ones where guys are like, “Must be her time of the month” just because a woman goes from a devil-horned bitch to a tear-soaked, sloppy and snotty mess. I never really noticed the hormonal change in myself but, then again, it wasn’t until about halfway Read more

  • A brief meltdown at 3 a.m.

    I felt my cheeks redden the more Tom talked. Illustrator this, Illustrator that. Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop. He showed me some of his own designs and a few projects he’d been working on, both for his internship and for his portfolio school classes.

    I’ve had plans to visit my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law (Trev’s fiancée for short) over spring break for awhile. They live in Long Island, she tawks funny, they have a sheltie named Finlay. I haven’t visited them since this photo here was taken after we went to our first-ever Yankees game at Yankee Stadium: That Read more
