The Search Continues…
Every day for the last couple weeks, I have been perusing job sites, looking in vain for a full time job to take me away from the current double part-time customer-service-all-the-time fiasco of my employment. Not that I dislike the jobs, necessarily. In fact, there are many aspects I quite enjoy. But I can’t help

Childhood Throwback Part Threeeeeeee…
From when I first could form semi-intelligible words until I was about ten I did a strange thing. Whenever I was focused or concentrating on something, I would emit a sound that sounded like, “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.” I was basically the human equivalent of a smoke detector you can’t get to turn off, no matter how many

The Castle that Built Me
I must admit, I haven’t been on top of writing lately. Not just because I’ve been busy with work, but also because I’ve been in an un-funny funk of late. Then I realized, it doesn’t really matter what tone my posts are. One of the many freedoms of not having a wide readership. What I

Reader’s Advisory: The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
Yes, we Millenials suck sometimes. But you know what we are good at? Not giving a shit about things that don’t actually matter. Especially things that don’t actually matter in our own specific lives (I’m looking at you AP Calculus. And you, insert basically any celebrity name here who is famous for nothing). Elderly people

Childhood Throwback Part II
Obviously I wrote this one before someone actually agreed to date me (I’m as shocked as you are): “Everyone does weird shit when they’re a little kid and don’t know any better. Or even when they do know better and just choose to rebel against society’s (their parent/guardian’s rules). Seriously, EVERYONE does. So don’t try

Childhood Throwback (Little Emily was an A-Hole) Part I
Over the last couple of years, I have written little snippets here and there about my childhood and what a weird arse-hole I was. I don’t really know why, maybe it was therapeutic? Also it makes present me feel better about myself, because no matter how awkward and messed up my life is now, at least

New Week, New Start (But Not Really)
Am I the only one who needs a rousing Lord of the Rings-like battle speech just to make it out of bed for work in the morning? Mondays are depressing in general, but Mondays that are the start of a 20 day work week are so much worse. Today though, I decided I should get my

The Pros and Cons of Living Alone
When I talk to most of the people I know about the fact that I lived on my own in the middle of nowhere for two years before I moved back to civilization, they say that they would never do it. Most people seem to prefer to have a roommate or significant other around, even if

Throwback #3: Insomnia and Lord of the Rings
I’m one of those pesky millennials who tends to do things based on what feels right in the moment without giving much thought to the consequences. Which is why, when I came home from my night shift at Library #1, I stuffed my face with leftover birthday cake and washed it down with the rest

25 Things I Learned in College
Most of the things I didn’t experienced until college are things 80% of you probably tackled your sophomore year of high school (and you probably managed to throw sex in there too). If you’re anything like me (which we’ve established you probably are not), college is the first time you do things such as: Drive
