Dear Dick: Sir, it pains me to have to write this letter as I would prefer to pretend that you simply did not exist. Barring that, I would like to keep you in your undisclosed location, cackling over Tales from the Crypt while drinking a pint of blood from an undisclosed source while stroking your… Continue Reading

A New Woman
It’s funny what a twenty-five degree drop in the weather will do for you. Ok, maybe not for you, but for me, certainly. It puts a spring in my step and a smile in my heart. Or not. Let’s not get too carried away. It does, however, dial the crankiness down a few dozen notches,… Continue Reading
I’m a Delicate Flower
Stop laughing. I am, damn it. Shut the fuck up! Ok, I am not a delicate flower, but I sure as hell feel like one when I am outside in plus-eighty weather. It’s supposed to reach 92° today, which is my idea of a living death. Today is grocery-shopping day, and I had to drop… Continue Reading
Fuck It All
I just read an entry from my friend, whabs’ blog. It is beautiful, poignant, and lyrical. She talks about her life journey and how she is now ready to live life passionately. This entry really touched me because I am feeling the exact opposite these days. I have been in a deep funk for the… Continue Reading
Religious Rapture, Part VII
Ok. We are at the end of a week of religion-based entries, and this is the final installment. No, this doesn’t mean I will never write about religion ever again–only that I have other things about which I want to blog, and a week solid of any one topic is more than enough (except, of… Continue Reading
Religion and Reason, Part VI
Ok. I had it all mapped out in my mind how this entry was going to go. Wouldn’t you know it? President Obama beat me to it. He gave the commencement speech at Notre Dame today amid controversy and a few hecklers. Here is Part I: Now, in case you don’t know, the talking heads… Continue Reading
Religion Redux, Part V
So. Over the past four days, I have outlined my spiritual journey until this point in my life. It hasn’t been easy, and I still struggle with my spirituality. I have made my peace, for the most part, with Christianity. I no longer hate God (with a capital G) or am mad at Him…. Continue Reading
Faith No More (Religion, Part IV)
So. My “Fuck You, God” phase did not end with a bang, but with a whimper. It’s difficult to maintain that level of rage for any sustained amount of time. Besides, I had pretty much done all the experimenting I wanted to do at that point–and there was still an emptiness inside me. What to… Continue Reading
Losing My Religion, Part III
Looks like this is going to be a week-long series, bitches! Oh, sorry. That’s how we greet each other over at Balloon Juice, and I quite like it. So, in college, religion was put on the backburner as I spent more and more time discovering, well, me. And my boyfriend, D, but that’s not… Continue Reading
My Life as a Christian, Part II
So, when we left off, our intrepid heroine (me) was heading off to college. I had planned on going to college in CA, but I changed my mind at the last minute. Instead, I ended up going to St. Olaf, which was closer to home–but not too close. For the first time, I lived away… Continue Reading
