[you have got to be kidding me]

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart at three in the morning and came out with $20 worth of nail polish in six different shades of blue.
I had a post planned out, but as I sit here, I’ve decided that I don’t want to talk about it. I’m sure that in itself is the problem, but […]

What if I say I’m not like the others?

I know that we on Team Daria have spent a lot of time lately talking about God and church. And yet, I still have more to say.
The past six months or more have been discouraging, to say the least. The degree to which my feelings have been hurt is almost indescribable, and the list of […]

my urban jungle

There was a man in a gorilla suit playing the drums to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” in my morning meeting today. And the scariest part, in no way was it abnormal or shocking.

[…oh. god.]

Yesterday my grandfather had emergency triple-bypass heart surgery after having had a heart attack the day before. It hasn’t been the best of weeks.
I’ve been contentious toward God lately. I don’t understand the way things work out and, despite having had countless situations where just giving up on my efforts and giving the […]

Above our deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.

Today I was baptized.
Yes, baptized. And I am so excited about it. The church I’ve been going to held its first baptism celebration today, and I and several others were dunked in the swimming pool at the nearby sports complex. Then, in true Rebecca (er…Jane) fashion, I very un-gracefully got out of the pool much […]

[you’re one with the burden of intuition]

And she threw up.
She had the grace to do it in front of a hotel, hanging out of her car. She barely had time to open the door before everything that is and was her came hurtling forth towards the roof of her mouth, as it has a tendency to do on these sorts […]

Take the sinking boat and point it home.

Hi guys.
In the freakish way I normally do, I’m suddenly looking forward to Christmas. Once it’s here, there’s always the possibility I’ll be drinking too much and smoking too much and just generally hating the world, but for now, I’m excited. I want to make this Christmas the best yet.
So.
Have you heard of kaboodle? It’s […]

[today is the greatest day i’ve ever known]

Well. Not really, but it’s not too shabby. I imagine it has the potential to go south, as all days do, but for now I’m just enjoying it.
I’ve decided that while I like surprises, I don’t essentially like being surprised. Is that weird? No. I think it has to do […]

[and i taught that old hag a lesson she’ll never forget]

Hello hello old friends. I know it’s been a while. You look great, as always. I’m sorry we haven’t had a chance to talk lately. I’ve just been busy with life and living. Things are well, despite not following the plans I have carefully laid down before me. I’m […]
