So I got called a “fatty” by someone on Instagram today. And now, before I go any further, this is not some lame attempt to fish for complements or whatever. It was a bogus remark by a troll on the internet. I deleted it. But not before I went to the guy’s page, andddd it was allContinue reading Internet Trolls
What’s in a Name?
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet…” I know. I know. Now a days good ol’ Bill’s iambic pentameter is about as relevant as a MySpace profile in 2016. OK OK, maybe an overstatement. After all, one of my favorite roles I ever portrayedContinue reading What’s in a Name?
On Feeling
Facebook is a funny thing. Honestly, you never know what you’re going to get when you pop on The Book. Will you see a hostile political rant? A funny meme about cats and Crossfitters? A pregnancy/engagement announcement? It’s a veritable grab-bag of posts that can either make you dry heave, bust out laughing or hardContinue reading On Feeling
Beer Hall Banter
So a funny thing happened on the way to the forum… JK. If you get that joke, consider yourself a musical theater geek. (You’re in good company here) 🙂 Clearly, I’m in a mood tonight. This weekend was one for the books, y’all. Let’s just say, I ended Saturday night at a Brazilian dance bar/tin roofed lean-to/shantyContinue reading Beer Hall Banter
When the World Laughs
Not gonna lie, I’m feeling a bit, well, dejected at the moment. Deeply. Nothing superficial – no boy drama or insecurities about how I look. No, this is character-level. In the past 24 hours, I feel as though I’ve been the butt end of two very bad jokes. Episode 1: Allow me to set theContinue reading When the World Laughs
Anorexia & the Sanctity of Human Life
I’ll tell you what, you’ve never watched a presidential debate until you’ve watched one in a bar with a bunch of Europeans on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I promise, I’m not getting political… But let’s just say, they don’t mince words about how they really feel about Trump and Hillary. The term “Satan’sContinue reading Anorexia & the Sanctity of Human Life
Questionable Authenticity
Maybe it’s because I’m listening to some vintage John Mayer (Room for Squares — holla!), or the fact that I’ve spent the last 30 minutes wistfully looking through old pictures of my family, but here I am, back at the keyboard, taking on a subject that has been weighing on my heart all day today.Continue reading Questionable Authenticity
Taken Care Of
Another weekend, another realization… Let’s be real…my love life…is no secret on here. For better or for worse, I have been…probably too irresponsibly candid in what I’ve shared. But you know what…I regret nothing 🙂 haha Anywho…I realized something the other day. I was filming one of my “Journaling Through Recovery” videos (they’re available on Patreon)Continue reading Taken Care Of
How Did I Recover?
I’ve been sitting, staring at this blank page for about 2 hours now. Granted, I’ve taken a few breaks to peruse Buzzfeed, watch a Korean makeup video, and get ready for bed, but let’s face it. I’ve got writer’s block. Which royally stinks. So I’m going to go back to my roots here tonight. Return toContinue reading How Did I Recover?
Truth Serum
I learned something about myself this weekend. Allow me to set the stage. Saturday night. Out with friends. Well, correction…I was out with the guys. Because all my female friends decided that Netflix was more appealing than a gorgeous, open air rooftop bar in NYC. #NoJudgement…To each his own. But there maaaay have been some potential love interestsContinue reading Truth Serum
