There I was in the parking garage of my building – picking up the pieces of my favorite mug in the world. It was black with a matte finish on the outside with a lime green lip across the top that bled with color down into the inside of the mug. It was the perfect [...]

I saw my first Andrew W.K. show last Friday. I know, seems crazy, right? I’ve known the guy for more than five years and haven’t ever seen him perform live. And not only live, but from the best seat stand? in the house. I watched from the side of the stage holding onto a speaker [...] There was a time in my life when the thing I wanted most in the world was a pair of shoes. It was right out of college when I moved in with Patrick – I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have any friends and I didn’t have any money except what my mom had [...] Got a phone call yesterday that started like this. “Hello?” “Hello. Can I speak with Whitney?” “This is Whitney.” “Hi Whitney. I’m calling from [insert name of former vet clinic here]. Kia (pronounced Kee-Yuh) is due for her shots. We sent you a reminder in the mail, but it was returned. You must have moved. Anyway, should we just [...] I have a vivid memory of the first time I ever had a panic attack. It was vivid in that I can remember all of the feelings, all of the details as I was walking through my elementary school hallway, leaning on the wall surrounding the library because I was about to pass out.

Had a mental breakdown while trying to dress myself. Wore my hair up because of the matted-down sweaty look from having slept on it. Typical morning stuff. I was finally on my way to work with an estimated time of arrival of 9:07 – math I did while sitting at my [...] Last night my handsome darling offered to take me out to dinner as a way to pick me up from the long, exhausting and somewhat saddening day (see: workplace bullying) I had at work. He got it into his head that it would be a good idea for us to go to Applebee’s because of [...] For the first time since hacking my hair off, I whipped out my curling iron two days ago and gave myself a quirky little style change. I was 20 minutes late to work because I wanted to get every last inch of my hair swirling like a ribbon dancer at a gay pride parade. I [...] Tuesday seemed like any other evening when I bolt out my office door like a wild banshee away from the prison that is my cubicle. I hopped in my car, turned on my jams and made my way out of the parking lot and into the 5:00 traffic rush. There I was, belting out words [...] |
