LINDSEY!!!!! I think you purposefully forgot to mention a certain happening on this very special day. On February 14, it is not only Arizona Pride Statehood Day hoohaw. BUT, it is also.........(drumroll please)......the day that $3.6 million of heroin was seized in New York City, in 1959. How could you even forget that. I hope you didn't think that I was going to mention the unmentionable holiday, come on now, honestly.

Whoa. Did you purposely wait until midnight so you could post that right at the beginning of AZ Statehood day? That's dedication right there. I am ashamed of myself. You're right, though, she is very "well preserved" and I don't even think she's had any botox.

I disagree, I think that Arizona looks way older than 25. I think you want to take a second look at your state.

Ah yes, good old AZ.

She gets better with age....

p.s. My only V-day gift was a sequins bra from my grandma. For reals.

No One Needs to Save Me, I'm Already Saved

This is a post I have been ruminating on for some time now. I wrote it in my head a few times and now here I am committing it to blog. Finally. So, here it is: I am not a feminist. In fact, I find it incredibly irritating when people tell me that I must a feminist because I am a woman. I already know what womanhood means to me, and it does not mean being a feminist. Feminism has been turned into a political party and I do not have to be part of it merely because of my gender. That is not empowering, in fact, it is the opposite.  The fact that I received an education does not make me a feminist either. This isn't the 1800s. Girls can go to college and law school. They don't have to be a feminist to do it. In this post I intend to create a definition of feminism, talk about what the role of women has been in history, and what the role of women ought to be, and describe what I see as a better approach to appreciating women and men. In all of this my ultimate goal is to expla...

Re a Drop of Golden Sun

So, I've been thinking lately about what makes me me. I mean, I know there is really only one thing that makes us who we are, and everything else is just an extension of that. This, however, is my list of extensions that stop me from being a clone of anyone else. 1. I aspire to be Mary Poppins when I grow up. 2. I absolutely love juice boxes, I could drink them forever. 3. Chelsea is probably my hero. 4. I fear change, no matter how many times change has turned out good for me, I still fear it. 5. I do have a favorite number, and it is five. 6. I also have a favorite color, turquoise. 7. I am absolutely fascinated by communism and fascism. 8. I love the ocean. 9. Anberlin is my favorite band. 10. I am afraid of cows. 11. I am not a post modernist, I don't think its complete crap, but I'm not one. 12. Cheese makes me happy. 13. pumpkins make me happy. 14. I think that not only can scents trigger memories, but memories can trigger scents. 15. I have never been ...

Tell Me on a Sunday: Letting Go of the Upper Hand

Human nature is a funny thing isn't it? I have noticed in relationships that I lean towards the side of carefully guarding everything about myself in order to avoid seeming vulnerable in any way. I am certain that I am not the only one who does this. Although The Main Ingredient explained to us clearly in the 70's that everybody plays the fool sometimes, we still try to be the exception to the rule. Lately I have been evaluating myself and how closely I guard emotions, experiences, and fears in order to not end up as the fool. I find myself coming back to this question: when is it good to keep the upper hand, and when is it better to trust and let go?
