We are so good at New Year's Eve.
Ry and I are sitting in bed with a bag of mini Reese’s in between us. He’s playing Skyrim and I’m alternating between Tumblr and reading my book. We have no plans to do anything other than this until we fall asleep.

I didn't realize 2011 was such a bad year for so...
Scrolling through the dash there are so many new year posts about 2011 being a struggle for so many. I hate that! 2011 was an incredible, life changing year for me and I wish that was the case for everyone!
I wasn’t going to make a post like this because the mark of changing year seems so arbitrary to me. But too bad, here we go.
2010 ended terribly. Ry and I were in a rough place...

– Margo Maine, Ph.D. (Body Wars)
There was a time that, as a person of the male persuasion, seeing this quote made me really mad. It made me mad that women would assume that I was a rapist; it made me mad that rape was becoming ‘my problem’; it made me mad because, frankly, I didn’t think it was...
I’ve been in Newport Beach since Tuesday and Ry has been working crazy hours every day. He was supposed to have yesterday off but got called in so I’ve been camping out in his apartment. The first two days I had the rental car so I was able to run some errands and I cleaned the apartment and did all his laundry (aka washed EVERY SINGLE THING HE OWNS) but then the rental car was...

Got to have this all week long, all through the weekend with Christmas, and on Tuesday I get to have it again with Ry. This is why this is the happiest time of the year.

Because a White Guy Said It
uhuh-she-said:
Listen,
It does not matter what you say. As a woman, as a woman of color, as a woman of size, as a woman with large breasts or no breasts and a lifetime of experience with bucket loads of passion. It does not fucking matter.*
Because unless there is a white guy backing you up, you are an angry bitch. Uppity, spirited, “that girl”, the femanazi, the super-libber, the PC chick,...

How I know I'm super drunk:
I keep watching Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend” video as if it directly impacts me. It doesn’t. But I’m still sending multiple drunken texts and voicemails to my boyfriend while doing the dance Robyn does in the video and saying that he should call me not because he met somebody new but because he didn’t and because the somebody new if he was in the context of...
