Two Hundred Eighty Two.

You guys are gonna laugh at this, but I have one more hair anecdote before I get to my novella. Come on, when have I been one to follow rules? Even my own. As a little kid, I had long hair. Like,...

Two Hundred Eighty Three.

Oh my god, this is going to be too easy. Seriously, though. “Carina shuffled through the dresser that held her clothing. It all appeared alien to her in this moment, as though someone else had removed...

Two Hundred Eighty Four.

A couple nights ago, I was watching some of a friend’s short films on YouTube (you should check out Hyperphotonic here – they do cool work). One of them had just started when I saw the lead actor,...

STORY 1: About eight months into my 12-month Master’s degree, I got a phone call from my dad. It wasn’t the first call I got from my dad while I was living in Scotland. You just needed to know it was...

Two Hundred Eighty Six.

I’m having an identity crisis. Here’s the thing. I was a little kid and then I grew up and I grew taller and taller until I was 5’6″ and then I stopped. And I spent oh, 20 years or so believing I was...

Two Hundred Eighty Eight.

On more than one occasion in the last…almost 10 months, I have said, “Wow, so you read my blog and you still like me, hey? That’s cool.” Yes, maybe I’m being sarcastic, although I have said and done...

Two Hundred Eighty Nine.

Yesterday I was reminded of a funny time in my childhood. I should clarify that I find it funny now. It cracks me the hell up to think about now. At the time, it was a little bit heartbreak-y and whiny...

Two Hundred Ninety.

Yesterday was a really slow day at work. I’m just trying to justify myself. The truth is that I goof off in the bathroom at work. Okay, that came out sounding very wrong. I mean literally just goofing...

Two Hundred Ninety One.

Did I not at some point say on this blog that I’m not a big crier? Yeah, that’s total bullshit. It’s funny how you don’t really notice things about yourself until you start a 365-day blog and start...

2010, Ireland. My mom had come to visit me while I was living in Glasgow and we took a nice long trip to Ireland with lots of time for tours and exploring. I had been to Ireland before – as you may...

Two Hundred Ninety Three.

I was at my BFF Jolene’s house last night playing card games and chatting my face off when my mobile rang. The people who call me frequently have their own ring tones, so I was surprised to hear my...

Two Hundred Ninety Four.

It was a random summer day, back when I was working at the bookstore. I was shelving books at the back of the store. Shelving books was actually one of my favourite tasks, because it allowed me to be...

I worked a casino last night. Funnily enough, I have never actually been to a casino except to work at them as a volunteer for various theatres in town. They’re usually kind of boring. Sometimes...

Three Hundred One.

One thing I have been asked a lot over the last year or so is why I don’t talk about my weight loss. “You’re totally inspirational,” I’ve had people say, “You should promote yourself more and help...

Look, I get that I’m nearing 30 and most of my friends are, too, so it’s probably too late for me to save you, but if you have children or you plan on having children, you can feel free to read this to...

Oog. It’s been a stressful day so far and I didn’t eat enough breakfast, both of which make any normal human being want to put food into their mouth, so I pulled out the snacks I brought to work: baby...

I like Instagram. Mostly I use it to show off how ridiculously fucking cute my dogs are, but I’m the first to admit that I post lots of clothing-related selfies, too. Whatever, I like clothes a lot....

Three Hundred Seven.

Remember like almost 300 days ago when I wrote about personality traits that are sexy? SIDENOTE: I sure made it seem early on like I had a huge boner for Adam Levine. What’s hilarious is I barely have...

Well, since I told you about some of the men I thought I would marry when I was a child, I thought it would only be fair to also tell you about some of the women I loved most. What’s really funny,...
