changes

I kind of hate change. I dunno if it’s an assburgers thing or what, but change pretty much horrifies me. So this past month or so, with change after change, has been overwhelming. I’ve been dealing with a lot of mini panic attacks lately because, for a split second, I thought I was going to [ READ MORE ]

omg shoes

I hung out with my good friend Keri yesterday because, despite living around the corner from each other for a while, we barely saw each other because we’re both terrible people. Anyway. There was shoe shopping, and I cannot say no to this. I’m flat broke right now and thus didn’t buy anything, but the [ READ MORE ]

fashion flashback: what…what was i doing here?

No, I actually know exactly what I was doing here. My honorary little sister Donna (who is amazing and super cool) and I both decided one day to dress up as characters of ours, and I decided to dress like my character Gree. I can’t for the life of me remember a single thing about [ READ MORE ]

about my hair

My friend Britney runs a website, The Curly Chick. I’m lucky enough to have talked my way into being a contributor there, which is kind of awesome. I’ve only written one thing there so far, but I thought I’d share it here. So, go to this link and read all about my misadventures with my [ READ MORE ]

i look different

I can’t put my finger on what it is…but there’s something different. This was taken on library day, when I glanced in the elevator mirror and noticed that something looked off. Not a bad off, I mean. It’s just…a different look. I think I like whatever it is. I just wish I, you know, knew[ READ MORE ]

assburgers

[Note: Originally posted on my livejournal and shamelessly copied and pasted here, because I'm lazy.] My mother always described me as gullible. I would take anything she, or anyone else, said at face value, no matter how absurd. Eventually, rather than accept statements blindly, I made sure to ask, “Really?” first. Usually I was rewarded [ READ MORE ]

growing up chubby, part 2 – clothes are also stupid

On top of the fat thing getting in the way of dating, it also got in the way of being completely fabulous dress-wise. Mostly, my clothes came from the same place my mother’s clothes came from–Lane Bryant, Simply Fashions, so on and so forth. These were not stores for teenagers. It seems so odd to [ READ MORE ]

growing up chubby, part 1 – boys are stupid

This may come as something of a shock, but I was a skinny kid. I was thin up until around 4th or 5th grade. You’ll never guess what happened that caused me to gain weight. Yeah, screw puberty. I had a full C-cup in 6th grade, when most of the other girls were barely working [ READ MORE ]

  • Posted in Intro

I was pretty much born with about 900 strikes against me. I’m something of an uber-minority. I’m a woman. I’m black. I’m overweight. I have glasses. I have social anxiety and Asperger’s. I don’t think Brad Pitt’s attractive. For a long, long time, I let these things pretty much control my life and the way [ READ MORE ]
