Honesty vs. courtesy

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Tell me, dear readers, which of the two is worse?
A person who dislikes you for exceedingly petty reasons, yet is overly nice to your face?
Or a person who dislikes you for exceedingly petty reasons and acts cold as ice towards you?
(And, why yes, this is related to my last post, thanks for asking.)

Hurting the one you love

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Sometimes, I feel a little naive. I do really believe that part of this whole being in love thing is truly 100% believing that the other person will never do anything to intentionally hurt you. That safety is such an intrinsic part of it.
Yet, it can be so frightening to hear how just plain cruel [...]

The One About My Dress

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

So, some of you may have heard that I’m in a wedding next week. Actually, if you follow me on twitter there’s no way you would NOT know about this wedding because when I first tried my dress on I said something like
“Oh sweet baby J. My boobs look like Scar Jo’s. I’m scared”.
And then [...]

The debate rages on…

And, no, I’m not talking about chocolate versus vanilla, Harry Potter versus Twilight, or whatever the cool kids are debating these days.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Glamour does a series in their magazine every month about living your best life. In the column, there is a page listing things that women should not feel guilty about doing, because, hey, we all do them. Some examples are: “It’s OK if you eat a whole bag of doritos right before your period and then hide [...]

Man, I Feel Like a Woman!

Friday, February 20th, 2009

We all know and love Shania Twain (Correction: I know and love Shania Twain. Sadly, I can’t speak for the rest of you) but we’re not here to talk about pop country music.
When I was three and my younger brother was born, it became explicitly clear to me from the baby blankets that swaddled him and [...]
