EVERYTHING IS HAUNTED UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE
I’ve been known to have an active imagination, veering toward the “something supernatural and spooky is out to get me” direction. When I was five, I swear I saw a green alien wearing a purple vest creeping around my bedroom window in the wee hours of the morning. Turns out there was a “peeping tom”…

Ten steps!
It’s a pain in the arse deal with medical bills—well, any bill—that wasn’t properly bill-ified. As I type this, I’m on hold with a local radiology clinic’s business office.

Anxiety and Monkey Poop
More than 98.2% of the things I fret about never happen, and I try really hard not to worry, but alas … there are my mind monkeys hurling their own their poop at one other. That’s right, my mind is oftentimes filled with monkey poop. I’ve lived with anxiety my entire life. After a crapload…

I’ll Keep the Change
Wowowow. It feels like change is everywhere for me lately. It’s so much change that I wish I could take it into the bank and put it in one of those machines that will give me dolla’ bills. And it’s not bad change — I can just feel all this energy swirling around me and…
