Apparently, despite the fact that MVP provides my insurance and therefore has my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER and obviously my AGE on fucking record… AND the fact that I am the opposite gender…The […]

We’re ALL geeks, here!

The existence of ANY form of hierarchy of geeks/nerds/dorks (I’m tired of people trying to make them mean different things, they don’t, if they ever did they evolved and don’t now) is ridiculous.

Hereditary Awkwardness

So, today one of my dogs, one who still lived with my parents, passed away. I’m sad but honestly, my roommate broke the news, and he started with”have you talked to your parents today at all?” And as soon as I heard that I knew someone died, and when he told me it was Snickers, […]

Stoner thought of The Day

​It must be even more confusing to be Transgender or interact with someone in transition in Spanish speaking countries.
