A Needy Geek Seems Troubled

So… Those awful poems I’ve been writing? That I was tempted to actually work on? Well, nobody was able to stop me from working on them–and one of them actually turned out good!

Like, really really good. Probably one of the best poems I’ve ever written. (That’s not a high bar, but I’m still proud of it.)

Aaaand I’m afraid to publish it anywhere, because it’s about the first time my heart got broken and if a certain person from high school ever happened to see it I would literally die of embarrassment.

…which is ironic, because the whole theme of the poem is letting go of fear. So, I guess I should post it anyway?

I’ve also written some emo haikus–maybe I can salvage a few of those instead.*

*emo haikus are never salvegable

Pride Stickers

Took the family to a Pride event this weekend. Check out the stickers I got from Satanic Colorado’s booth!

Two large stickers, one in black and white saying "THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS DON'T HELP" and another in the Progress Pride flag colors saying "NO GODS NO MASTERS NO CLOSETS"

I’m open to suggestions for where I should put them…

I am tentatively re-enabling comments on my posts. I’ve set myself a few rules that should (hopefully) keep me from getting sucked in. The comment policy can be found here.

An Open Letter

To all the drivers who accelerate when the person ahead of them puts on their signal to merge:

I hope you get crabs.

Feeding Off Each Other’s Energy

My 5 year old is currently at that stage of development where “If big sis does it, it must be the best!” My 7 year old, meanwhile, is at the point in her development where her little sibling’s attention is starting to be enjoyable more often than annoying.

An unfortunate consequence of all this wonderful sibling bonding is that trying to get both of them to stop being rowdy at the same time is like playing the world’s least fun game of whack-a-mole.

Emo Tears Are Measured in Angst-roms

(It’s a physics joke.)

I’m starting to think some of that awful poetry I’ve been writing might actually be salvageable with a bit of work!

Please send help.

Darndest

5 year old, giving me a hug: “I love you, dad. You’re such a great dad.”

Me: “Aww, thank you baby. You’re a great kid, too.”

5 yo: “I just smelled the way you would taste if I were to eat you.”

Me: “O…kay…”

My Favorite Hat

I’ve had this hat for a long time now. My sister made it for me! As you can imagine, it gets lots of compliments.

The author's head, swallowed whole by a silly knit hat shaped like a fish.

Why Am I Like This

A shopping list with ordinary items like jerky, cereal, and oat milk interspersed with items such as "jayum", "beagles", "squire brood", and "yo, Gert".

Hit Me Hard and Soft

Remember how a few days ago I mentioned being angsty? Yeeeaaaahhh, maybe not the best time to finally look into this Billie Eilish person I’ve been hearing so much about. Or maybe it was exactly the right time? I dunno.

Anyway. Whew! She’s good.
