I haven’t really ‘advertised’ it, but I’ve been making some youtube content the last few years, I figured I should start sharing it here.

unpacking
As we descend into the new year, I am unpacking 35 years of CPTSD, trauma and abuse. It’s not fun, and if I’m honest, I hate it, but I hate the alternative more. The problem with finally escaping and addressing childhood trauma; it’s exhausting. I don’t know if I can…

A brand new day
We’re in the first week of the year, and the first week of my 39th trip around the sun. I’ve managed to get my shit together and get a store going (Etsy is garbo) and shopifydefinitely makes life easier. I’ll be adding more products, but also the option to purchase…

Tis the season for the Force to Awaken
We’re 10 days away from the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So look, like every good nerd, I am excited about the new Star Wars movie, I wonder though if I am excited enough. I don’t plan on camping out, or even seeing it opening weekend (serious…

Philadelphia’s Crustacean Crown Jewel: Lobstar Bisque

In that short time, she’s participated in G-Philly’s “Woman Crush Wednesday” and performed at Sisters, Tabu, The Adrienne Theatre, Venture Inn, Underground Arts, along with many other…

Throwback Thursday: My last poker game with Kevin Smith
This image is from 3/20/2010, note I’m the only tool with my winnings fanned out, and I came in 5th. Regardless, this was an insanely fun evening. I arrived in Jersey around 6pm and debated weather or not to join the other players for a pre game dinner at…

You're just damage control for a walking corpse like me, like you.
Holy Crap! It has been an eventful few weeks! March 16th we had St. Patrick’s day celebrations at my place. Very chill, smaller scale, but a lot of fun. We played cards against humanity into the wee hours and celebrated Cat’s Birthday as well. On March 28th I was already…

Jay and Silent Bob’s Groovy Cartoon Movie
There was a lot of drama in my last post, and I didn’t want to sully the fantastic experience I had last night, so I am making this its own post. Here’s the breakdown of my adventure to see Jay and Silent Bob’s Groovy Cartoon Movie screening at the Keswick…

Let me occupy your mind, as you do mine
Looks like I skipped over February’s post completely, welcome to March. The rest of January was good, I learned how to make sushi. We had my birthday drinks at plush: Tammy got me a bad ass boosh hoodie for my birthday, along with hitcher bobby pins: I spent lots of…

I'm gonna pop some tags, only got 20$ in my pocket…
Welcome to the last post about 2012. I had a lot of different things happening in my life as of this time last year. I feel like things have progressed for the better. I have better people in my life, and am developing constructive habits. I’ve lost over 35 pounds,…

I fink U Freeky and I like you a lot…
Yet another Rocky Horror outing, a natural disaster, another day spent in the E.R. of Abington Hospital, and other updates of sorts. Sometimes, the universe is a really screwed up place which takes some kind of sick and twisted pleasure in making me miserable from time to time. Lately, more often than…

Welcome to the dollhouse
This past weekend I went to the Bates Motel with some old friends and some new friends. Me, Jenn, Elly (2), Tammy, Cat, Shannon, Ari, Recca, Andrew, Harley, Matt, Danny.(Not pictured: Steph.) We did the Hay Ride, and the Bates Motel itself, then had some snacks and drinks while the…

The facts were these…
So, well, it’s been a while, and for that I apologise. I haven’t felt like writing. There have been good and bad things going on. And now, a list of things: – I lost my job, right before I was about to be put back on full time, I won’t…

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back…
In the last month –Mauro came down for a visit and rocked my world, a pool party of epic proportions was had: I went to a bachelorette party, which included a Roller Derby match, a Dueling Piano Bar, and fabulous gay men: I went to a rehearsal dinner, dressed as…

Heres Hoping Dark Doesnt Suck.
Game companies are now making moves to cash in on the wave of Vampire loving geeks. With the rise of Twilight, Southern Vampire Stories/ True Blood, and Anita Blake, Vampires are the hot new monster, Zombies are classic but Vampires are sexy. Kalypso has announced their own vampire-themed stealth game,…

She's 22 And she's loving you And you'll never know how it makes me blue…
So things are going well as of late, I think the universe is trying to make it up to me for my horrific personal life. I’ve got 7 posts for PixelPerfect, 2 are pending being published. I applied for a voice over gig but someone had beat me to it,…

It's the first of May, the first of May…
Enjoy some sweet, sweet Joco to brighten your day today: I decided it was time for a real update that didn’t just consist of reaction gifs. This somehow has turned into a busy week for me, having plans 6 out of 7 days. I am never this busy, but I…

Sonys PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
In what undoubtedly will be referred to as inspired by and not Pretty much a copy of Super Smash Bros., Sony has confirmed that they will be releasing a new game on the PS3, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Sony claims the game will capture the essence of each character, so,…

My life with the Trill Kill Cult…
Jesse, Ian, Cat, Chip. Dave, Micki, Evan, Liza, Mandie, Josh It’s been about 2 months since the last entry! Yikes, late new years resolution: Update blog more! Whoo boy. I don’t even know where to start. Christmas itself turned out to be quite pleasant and uneventful. New Year’s I had a small…

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight.
As the holidays firm grasp on my life tightens this week, I am starting to look forward to them. I know there will be family, and friends and parties and drinking and good times. I have off for almost a week, which is nice. Vacation is great when you’re in…

Ti's the season?
Going through boxes of decorations, most older than me, unearthing forgotten treasures, finding broken pieces that need fixing. Listening to Christmas music in an empty house. That’s my agenda today. It feels a little hollow. Not really feeling all that ‘cheer’ they talk about. Almost ran my brother over in that little Mercedes moments…

If you say I aim too high from down below…
The last decent picture of us together, we need to make a new one! I have finally gotten over my upper respiratory infection, only to break out in the worst hives I’ve ever had in the history of me being itchy and whiny. Despite this, and having worked a 9 hour…

Jersey Askew
Our adventure began Friday, when we picked Steph up from school. We set out towards New Jersey, not entirely sure of what awaited us, but faithful that enjoyment would be had. I did not anticipate the hour it would take to drive 8 miles on the turnpike, but we survived,…

There's something in THE FOG….
So tonight I apparently took a detour through the set pieces for the remake of “The Fog” on the way home from work. Seriously, maybe 20 feet of visibility. However my desire to be at home, and lack of common sense empowered me to drive about 15mph the entire way…

Steady as she goes.
As I sat in the office on the wrong end of a 14 hour shift, I wonder to myself how I got where I am, and how will I ever get where I thought I’d be? Life never does what you expect it to. I never expected to drop out…

Quien es esa niña?
Something totally random was on my mind the other night as I listened to the mish-mash of old and new/terrible Madonna songs that mog.com played for me as I worked. That thought was: Think of a movie Madonna was in. I bet your initial thought was not “Who’s that girl?”…

Clawing my way to the middle.
So all the dust seems to have settled from last weeks run of god awful luck/ life trying to break my spirit. I’m not skipping merrily anywhere but I feel less exhausted. Today I am working, even though the phones are down. I work for a telephone hotline. The phones…

Four years. 26, instead of 22. Steady job in place of odd jobs. Steady realtionship instead of complicated. Getting better instead of devistated. Sleeping, instead of sleepless. Gone, but not forgotten. Healing, but not whole. My grandfather was one of the best men I have ever, or will ever have…

This pool, has been opened.
Jack, Alex, Micki, Evan and Liza enjoying the party. Well, I have to say this last weekend was insane. It was so nice to see everyone who came out, we ended up having a respectable 30 or so people come out on Sunday night to the pool opener. Vodka gummies were made…

It's that time again…
Time for swimming, and nostalgia, and road trips to the shore. I really like summer. Well…I really like swimming, and grilling things, and going to the beach. So, in that way I like summer. In the “sun is trying to kill me” way, I enjoy it somewhat less. Despite being…

We are a fever, we are a fever, we ain't born typical.
Marquee Sorry for the lack of updates! I have some on the way though. Last Wednesday night I went downtown to see The Kills live. (Alison Mosshart “VV” and Jamie Hince “Hotel.”) There’s something magical about going to a live show for a band or singer you really like.…

So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
So, as well as working for people who see da footcha. I rent out my artistic abilities from time to time. As with any job, working in the office, or freelance, sometimes work kills tiny pieces of your soul. It’s a fact of life, you watch them get broken off…

Like agent orange, only with stupidity.
I can be a very patient woman. I can handle a lot of dumb questions and nonsense. Today my strength was tested. Robin understands where I’m at. Today’s winning exchange from work: “Ma’am, your card declined. Do you have another card you’d like to use?” “Well I wish you’d of…

Goodnight, Moon.
It’s 4:41 am right now. I would usually have been home for about a half hour at this point. I’m really looking forward to spring getting itself in gear so that this time of night will be less frigid. Number one hazard of driving home at this hour? You might…

Welcome to the Jungle…
It’s a sunny day in March, about 45 degrees out. It’s not warm yet, but it’s hinting at it. It’s the kind of day you think it might be nice to go to the park, or take a nice walk. I’m headed into work, because that’s what I do now,…

Sleepy, sun kissed and sated.
Home from the shore note Martin checking mail in the background. Going to go swimming now, and work off some of the awful things I ingested whilst on vacation. I might go again sometime later this summer, but not until I get something in savings. I spent a lot of…

3am outside the hotel room.
What a prize eh? Anyway. I took a long nap this afternoon and as a result just can’t seem to get to sleep. I figure it doesn’t matter too much since I don’t think I am driving home today. Neighbors are coming out of their room for a smoke. I…
