Stop Trying to Be Relatable
Have you ever been hanging out with a group of people you only kind of know, so you’re trying your best to come off as someone completely normal and confident and witty and friendly and successful—in a completely casual way, of course—and then suddenly they start talking about something you know absolutely nothing about? You… Continue reading

An Open Letter to Mom’s On Their Way
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed growing up with my mom, it’s that she always seems to be on her way somewhere. Whether it’s to work, to the store, to school, to one of our softball games, to the bank, back to school because someone forgot something, and then back home to cook dinner, go… Continue reading

Dear Thomas, Love the 2115’s

Just the Right Temperature
Upon arriving at work one morning I was immediately sent on a delivery run. I stepped out into the cool-ish fall-ish air, shivered a pampered Southern California shiver, and loaded up the company car. Now, the company car is much newer than mine, as easily demonstrated by the amount of buttons covering the stereo system.… Continue reading

What the Walking Dead Taught Me & Why We’re All Still Doomed
***Warning: Implied spoilers**** I am an avid fan of The Walking Dead, which has surprised me on more than one occasion. You’d think that someone who can’t watch a single horror movie would avoid a show centered around the undead constantly slurping up the intestines of their loved ones, but I tune in every week.… Continue reading

Classic Love Scenes I Couldn’t Be Part Of
When I was little, love to me was like the locked room of my grandparents’ house. I always knew one day I’d have to break down the door with savage curiosity, but until then I’d just sit in the living room watching Growing Pains and eating cottage cheese. As I grew up, I watched a… Continue reading
