Ode to the vaccuum cleaner

Being on new medications that are not only used to combat severe depression but obsessive-compulsive disorder as well, my case of OCD has been in hibernation for quite a while. However, I forgot to pop the pills two nights in a row, so today's a weird day for me. The depression isn't so bad; I made... Sign in to see full entry.

Hooray for the ladies

I just finished reading an article in People magazine about the Dove Campaign For Real Beauty, and I think it's wonderful. Someone's finally showing real women are just as good as all the size zero models we see everywhere. I'm sixteen and see the publicity all the time--you're not good enough, not...

I live in a small set of apartments on a little horse ranch in the heart of central North Carolina, where the three nearest towns are all at least 8 miles away. Hence, I am surprised that I can connect to the internet, and not at all surprised when the TV and/or radio display nothing but static.... Sign in to see full entry.

Daddy's Little Girl

No, I'm not fond of the person my dad has become. No, I don't get along with him. But he'll always be Daddy. He's the guy who introduced me to the world of Chinese take-out, Dr. Pepper, and motorcycles. He gave me my first Lynyrd Skynyrd CD and got me to love old mustangs, held my hand when I was...

The cats have imaginary friends

Imaginary friends are the only explanation I can come up with. That, or they're both just plain psychotic, like the rest of the family. I have two cats, a humongous black tom named Midnight, and a dainty, petite black and white female I got for my fifteenth birthday and named Oreo. We adopted... Sign in to see full entry.

Do they have teething rings for dogs?

Today, it was my turn to take the dog out for his morning pee. Not a hard chore, since all I have to do is sit on the front porch and make sure he doesn't wander off as he sniffs around the front yard. Usually, he makes at least three attempts to escape into the neighbor's bushes, but this morning,... Sign in to see full entry.

Gag me with a pitchfork

I hate the 80s. I'm sorry if that offends someone, but I really do. Okay, I wasn't even born until March of 89, but just looking through my mom's old yearbooks makes me feel nauseous. Blue eyeshadow? Feathered bangs? Hairstyles that look like giant cottonballs? Puh-leeze. And yet, as my mother so... Sign in to see full entry.

Sitees from Hell

Kids are insane. Really, they are. Why do I like them so much? Sign in to see full entry.

Grr

Uhhhh....I love my family to death, but sometimes while with them, I feel that, within the hour, either a suicide or a homicide is going to be committed. Sign in to see full entry.

Teenage Teenybopper

She's turning thirteen. On the first of the month, the realization that my kid sister, always a little girl to me, would be an official teenager in less than 3 weeks hit me like a frying pan to the face. I immediately started to panic--not only does this mean that my closet will be raided on a... Sign in to see full entry.
