So, I might have just insulted our transgendered employee over the phone accidentally and I feel so bad about it, I'm going to update my livejournal. I know we have a transgendered employee because people "warned" me about her when I started working here. I guess it's good not to be surprised, even if you have PC liberal leanings. Anyway, I haven't ( Read more... )

Is it cold where you are? Are you hungry? lionhearts  posted a killer cornbread recipe and asked what all of her readers were obsessed with making these days. This is my reply:

 By Megan, age 25.

Singing. Belgian waffles, cupcakes, coffee. More singing. Chocolate covered fruit basket! Messages from all over. Staying late at work doing tedious paper stacking. Nap. Singing again. Giant box from my mom. (One sexy secretary dress, one bafflingly long shirt.) Burnt plastic all over our pizza stone, filled kitchen with smoke. ( Read more... )

I'm about to turn 25, and I am so underwhelmed by it all. It's a big depressing or exciting milestone for young people to get through, right? Most birthdays, I don't feel profoundly different. I got pretty weird last year, I guess, but I was under all kinds of stress and that's enough to make anyone feel their mortality ( Read more... )

Can I just take a moment to brag? I just watched my mom successfully put her itunes giftcard into her computer and download some lady gaga and pink, which she added to a playlist for work. She then plugged it into some speakers and started playing it for us. Highfive, mom!

Hello! Have you been traveling this holiday? I have. Did you hear about the guy who tried to blow up the plane in Detroit? I was there not 15 minutes before they landed. My flight was delayed, and if we had waited any longer, we might have been there during all the crazy aftermath. Everything worked out okay, though! 

Oh livejournal, it looks like I’ve abandoned you. I’ve got the depression again, which isn’t much worth typing about. And I’ve been having major anxiety when I try to write, anyway, which is probably just a side effect. Seriously, I stare at blank text boxes for hours trying to respond to a simple e-mail from my grandma. And I don’t call anyone to ( Read more... )

Okay, so I know it's lame and cliche, but I'm going to do what everyone else I know who's just thrown a wedding did and whine about how I feel stressed because I feel like I've got nothing done and I'm way behind and super intimidated by the people I have to work with because I'm doing it all myself. (Even though tons of people have genuinly ( Read more... )

 Do you follow Joey Comeau’s twitter? He linked an article the other day about youth literacy I thought was not all that interesting when I first read it, but in retrospect was pretty astonishing. I think it was Stanford Professor studying how all this electronic communication effects how young people write. You know, looking into that “Twitter is ( Read more... )
