cat update
She’s dead. My parents had her put to sleep on Christmas Eve.
It was horrible. There was absolutely nothing positive or comforting about the experience.
She was a normal happy cat the day before, albeit in pain from a fixable broken leg, and the vet injected drugs into her body that killed her. We didn’t release her from any chronic pain or illness, we didn’t bring her any...

so here's what's happening.
Remember my cat who broke her leg and disappeared for three months, then came back from the dead? She only recently finally healed. It’s probably been less than a month since she had the final pins removed from her leg.
Two nights ago she jumped onto me while I was lying on the couch. In a moment of idiocy I pushed her off of me in a way that put her weight on her back legs, and she cried...
This Christmas the shit is hitting the fan.
I am done. Absolutely done. No more bullshit. I am saying what the fuck I think and I don’t care who I hurt in the process. All of you motherfuckers have hurt me already; now it’s your fucking turn.
I am so repulsed by this family that I am extremely motivated to become a different person. I’ve had enough. I am changing my life and getting the fuck out of here and I’m...

Except I’ve done pretty well with my Christmas shopping this year, considering everything.

In the years I have worked in corporate America I have worked with some of the most brilliant minds I have ever encountered. They’re capable of conducting elaborate research to find solutions to complex problems, they’re diplomatic when there are difficult points of contention within a team, and they’re creative when problems or issues arise that all their experience and...

Working at 8am three days in one week makes me a saint. I truly believe this.
I’ve had crazy vivid dreams the last few nights. This combined with last night’s episode of Doctor Who, in which the Doctor turns himself into a human yet keeps dreaming about his Time Lord self, has me halfway convinced that I’m the Doctor’s assistant in my real life.
Really, though, I was...

A latent talent is one that has not yet manifested itself, while potential suggests a talent that exists in an undeveloped state (a potential concert violinist). A child may have certain latent qualities of which his or her parents are unaware; but teachers are usually quick to spot a potential artist or...

He had a huge house with so many rooms that we kept discovering more, including a restaurant and video rental in the front. Frank didn’t live there and either did my mom, just us kids, but he didn’t want us in the restaurant. I went there anyway because I am not a “kid,” I’m 22 years old goddamnit.
I ordered a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and bacon and on the...

My mom just giggled at her laptop and said
“It’s confused about these pictures because Clayton’s dressed like a pirate. It’s like, Is this Clayton??”
My quaint, confused Mom giggling at what she thinks is a quaint, confused computer.
And the world goes round and round.
