On Hope
Somebody asked me what made me feel hopeful. Here’s my answer:
Days I wake up and feel happy even though I have nothing to look forward to
Days I wake up and know exactly why I feel happy and that’s the best
The tiny, ridiculous victory of not sending a drunk text
A free drink, bought by a friend or given by a bartender and not some shitbag in Dockers trying to get in your pants...
Question Time!
Given that the only things on my mind right now are: what I should have for dinner, the great abyss(!!), and how Bud Light Platinum should admit to us all that it’s their beer for douchebags, I believe it’s time for some questions from all you lovely readers.

If I Miss Things That Never Happened
It is cold enough to walk around without gloves for no more than six minutes. Breath is visible, but I am (always) searching for a slice of pizza and must not fail. I am missing summer, I think, exactly in the way a freezing person might think that.
At first, I picture the sweat that sticks to the back of the neck, the forty-seven gulps of water in desperate relief, the ice cubes that melt, the...
The Things I Wish I Could Say
I’ve already done my laundry today and it is folded and put away!
Of course I have no responsibilities right now, we can just get drunk all day on this Wednesday.
I love handing over my rent check, it feels somewhat like flying
Why yes, ‘dancing to *NSync in my underwear’ is on my resume? So now I get ALL the money in the world?
My credit card bill is so manageable, you...
