So I just took another extremely long roadtrip which is making me feel guilty all the way down to Virginia (I'm the biggest hypocrite on the internet,) to get two homeless friends out of the cold for the winter.  Read More »

I had another unusual and unusually fun weekend! I've been really letting things just sorta happen lately; hanging out with whoever wants to hang out, just seeing where things go and it has been leading to a lot of unexpected fun.

So I had another amazing weekend, thanks mainly to Dane, the guy I've been going out with...he agreed to drive five hours with me spontaneiously to see my friend Geneveve of Dead Girl History (she's amazing, check her out on YouTube,) to Brooklyn to Goodbye Blue Monday, to see her perform.  Read More »

Today I skinned my first white tailed deer all by myself. It was kinda funny, actually, because it was a roadkill, and a cop pulled up right behind me as I was dragging the deer to my car, to put in my trunk.

"Excuse me Ma'am...what are you doing?"

"Um, I like to tan hides...this deer has a beautiful hide still..."

"You can't just pick up deer on the side of the road..."  Read More »

So I'm still reeling from the aftermath of a bar fight; not normally something I get involved in, first because I rarely drink in bars and second, because I rarely fight (I think I've been in a total of three physical fights in my life, if that,) but last night I found myself fighting with a guy three times my size after he sexually harrassed a friend.  Read More »
