As I sat in doctor’s office for the first time in God knows how many years, I started to panic. I decided that I should probably go in for a general physical after so many years, just to make sure I was on the up and up. I loathe going to the doctor. I’d say … More Blood Boy Vs Bladder
I’ve been looking to shake up my routine for a while now. So when my friend in Seattle texted me asking if I wanted to join a skeeball team, the answer was obviously a yes. While I feel overwhelmed by the amount of things on my plate at the moment, I also hate the feeling … More Skeeball Queens
“I genuinely don’t have the patience for this,” I thought to myself while sitting on the bus ride home from work listening to two grown men bitch about how the bus should go faster and then proceeded to heckle the driver, telling her when to merge into traffic and to speed up.

It escalated to anger when we were at capacity, all of us commuters shoulder to shoulder and miserably gasping for … More Incognito
