My Life Online After Death & Other Really Morbid Things

Thumbnail image for My Life Online After Death & Other Really Morbid Things

Life in the digital age can be quite strange at times. Like when life becomes death and someone’s Facebook profile becomes a very awkward and haunting shrine to the life they once had. I had a friend who passed away a couple years ago and his MySpace turned into a sort of weird vigil area where people would write to him, like he’s, ya know, checking his MySpace up in Heaven. With his WiFi. And his MacBook. Of course. Totally. ...

Living in the world of Google images, WebMD and Grey’s Anatomy, I’ve found that it is easier to be a hypochondriac now that there is a plethora of information at our disposal. Do you have a headache on a random Tuesday afternoon? Well, hm, according to the plot line of Grey’s, you might have a brain tumor.

Hi everyone. How are you? Are you good? Are you in a funk? Are you feeling like you need a little pick-me-up in the form of fermented sugar? How about a latte? God. I drank a latte at 9pm tonight, which was a terrible idea considering that, right now, it’s 11:15pm and I’m really not tired at all.

Tornados And My Being Terribly Whiny And Princess-y

Thumbnail image for Tornados And My Being Terribly Whiny And Princess-y

Here’s the thing about me: I hate weather. Any weather that is more than, “No wind, 60°, clear blue skies.” Now, I realize this is a terrible complaint coming from a girl who has grown up and lived in California her entire life, so some of you may be all, “BITCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WEATHER.” You are probably from the East Coast and I’ll be the first to say that you are correct and I am a little baby. ...
