Murphy’s Law says, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” I can’t write about a time when this actually happened because it has never happened to me – or to anyone else, probably. I’m going to guess that the majority of my blog readers are adults because there are only so many adolescentsContinue reading “My Thoughts on Personal Disasters”

On Happy Endings
Ideal happy ending, based on my childhood. Not in this real world though. Daily Prompt: “And they lived happily ever after.” Think about this line for a few minutes. Are you living happily ever after? If not, what will it take for you to get there? First of all, who is “they”? Right now, itContinue reading “On Happy Endings”
I Like This Mug Too Much
An ode to my mug, inspired by Daily Post. Happy Valentines’ Day, by the way. There’s this mug that I bought fairly recently that I favor over all of my other mugs. It’s a fat white mug with a cute Santa on the side (see above). Whenever my cupboard is full, I will look forContinue reading “I Like This Mug Too Much”
Shoulda Woulda Coulda Gotten Mad
I should get mad more often. I should blow up in public and scream at people and throw coffee and break vases. At the very least, I should confront my problems a little bit more…and yet I don’t. Some people deal with their anger through holding grudges. They’re passive aggressive towards people who anger them;Continue reading “Shoulda Woulda Coulda Gotten Mad”
How to Take a Successful Bubble Bath (Playlist Included!)
Everyone hates on materialists, but a bubble bath is one aspect of a materialist’s obsessions that I promise will only benefit you. Not that everyone should take bubble baths every day, but taking a bubble bath just once will change your life…though indirectly, probably.
We Are All Alone
The picture can be somewhat misleading; being alone doesn’t have to be a sad occasion! They say that when you’re suffering, there’s someone out there that feels your pain. They say these things to calm us down when we throw tantrums about the difficulty of our life and the uniqueness of our dilemmas. True, maybeContinue reading “We Are All Alone”
Who Are These “Something Compliments” Groups?
In the debate community recently, an anonymous soul started a Facebook account dedicated to posting compliments about people in the debate community (Debate Compliments). The goal was simple: to spread joy to the debate community. Within hours, the person (or should I say, two people?) had acquired over one hundred Facebook friends. Now, they haveContinue reading “Who Are These “Something Compliments” Groups?”
The Lady at the Hotel Counter
We’re back! Sorry for the silence! Happy 50th post! I am the lady that you first see when you walk in. I stand here for hours a day when there is absolutely no activity going on in the hotel. The hotel bar is directly in my line of sight, and the bartender is lucky.Continue reading “The Lady at the Hotel Counter”

The Risk Calculus of Large Asteroid Collisions
Hi readers! This is a formal essay I wrote for my sophomore English project at school. It’s a pleasant deviation from what I normally post on this blog; there are parenthetical citations and a bibliography included. At even the suggestion of an asteroid hurtling towards earth that will wipe out all living creatures, peopleContinue reading “The Risk Calculus of Large Asteroid Collisions”
