Despicable Me.

January 24, 2011

When I was 14, I shaved a boy’s eyebrows off. It is, to this day, the absolutely meanest, most horrific thing I have ever done. Joe had a locker directly across from mine in the freshman hallway, and two days before Halloween, I overheard him telling a boy I really, really liked that I would [...]

It’s not you. It’s me.

November 4, 2010

I was never really good at breaking up with people. To this day, I have trouble with confrontation. Unless it’s a situation where I am provoked in some way, most the time, I just pity the other person to a point where I make up lies to hurt their feelings less. Fourteen years ago I [...]

The story of Naked Ikea, and other tales of shenanigans and debauchery.

October 11, 2010

It’s terminal. I don’t really have a time frame. I only know that when it happens, it will be sudden and over quickly. My best guess is in the next few months. And it will be sad. I love this car. I have so many amazing memories. It was the first family car we bought [...]

Mr. Green

September 30, 2010

There are eight Michael Green’s in our phonebook. Each one got a letter from me. Only one knows what the hell it was for. On the first day of public high school my freshman year, he made me stand up in front of the entire English Class. What does your shirt mean? Rage Against the [...]

Mazzy Star.

September 22, 2010

I don’t know what my life would have been like if Facebook was invented when I was 15. High school was scary. I imagine my status updates would be super prolific, like… OMG, how murdery did OJ Simpson look on tv today!? I am so totally getting a Weezer tattoo. Just joshin! I ran into [...]

300

September 16, 2010

I remember the game. We were playing Bowling Green, I was coming down the left side. Slide tackled. I tried to stand back up, but my left ankle buckled unnaturally inward. My friend Tom carried me from the field.  My foot just dangled there.  I cried  the whole way to the hospital. I think. I [...]

In bed.

September 3, 2010

In high school I had a wrought iron canopy bed with lavender bedding, and lavender and pink throw pillows.  My matching nightstand was filled with scribbled in journals, vases of dried dead flowers that teenage girls hang on until they eventually turn to liquid, and pretty smelling candles to hide the smell of pot. My [...]

About aging.

August 2, 2010

Barring some form of sudden disfigurement, I don’t ever want to get plastic surgery on my face. I saw some surgery show once when I was little.  A woman was getting her jowls tightened and they peeled her whole face off. I couldn’t eat Spaghetti O’s for months after that. No matter how many wrinkles [...]

Project Mom. Project me.

July 22, 2010

Have you ever noticed the word project is a homonym? There’s project, as in, an undertaking. Then, there is project as a means to kinda, hurl yourself out there, into the open. It seems like today, I am doing a little of both. Below is my casting vlog for a new series about bloggers, Project [...]

Brittany, Herself.

July 9, 2010

While I am mentally preparing for an upcoming, probably painful, permanent embellishment tomorrow, I wanted to share something with you. Today is the first roll of the ball on some totally amazing things I have set to launch this year. This will serve as the foundation on which I will be producing lots of other [...]
