I Am The Fat Girl

When I go banana balls crazy, I go all out. I mean, why lose it only partially? If you're going to lose it...GET THAT NONSENSE LOST. But in order to tell you about my descent into full-on basket case, I’m going to need to rewind a few years. 18 years, to be exact. Age 12 on my way to class Considering my status as the eldest child of two middle-born parents, it wasn’t really a surprise that I was a major learning curve for our family. Throw in my strong-willed temperament and a dangerous level of curiosity, and a sincere sympathy should be extended to my parents. But when I had a size DD chest by age 12, NONE of us knew how to handle all that…business. So when the neighborhood girls laughed at my bizarre form of uni-boob (THANK YOU stupid-ass sports bra), I was humiliated and started shoving socks down the center of my chest to force the girls apart. Shortly after my 13 th birthday, I was in my grandmother’s living room when she took me aside. What fol...

Dear Christian Kane

Dear Mr. Kane, Once upon a time, this story was your fault. For many years, you and my family have crossed paths. My father and sister have worked on both Leverage and Librarian sets with you, and my brother basically adopted you into the family based on your portrayal of the young Hub in Secondhand Lions. As for myself, I began as your average fan. It was never a challenge to like a handsome, talented, and charming southern man. But as stories trickled home about your good-natured and professional behavior on-set, and as I got a little too into Leverage (seriously, that show was AMAZING)…I began the descent into full Christian Kane fandom. Throw in the musical talent and a ridiculously fun cooking show, and I was officially going to embarrass my family. And it was with Kaniac blood coursing through my veins that I found myself on-set with you one late summer’s day. You were shooting the Shakespearean season finale with Librarians at a beautiful location above the...

Kiss Me

Kissing. That age old expression of affection. Mother to child, friend to friend, lover to lover…kissing is pretty awesome when handled wisely (as in, don’t give your kisses away cheaply). Kissing even has health benefits. It can reduce stress, lower cholesterol, and release adrenaline into your body that burns calories and does wonders for the cardiovascular system. So lately I realized that it’s been 2 years and 2 months since I last kissed someone (THAT kind of kissing). AND I MISS IT SO MUCH. 0_0 So I thought I would take a trip down memory lane. Maybe it will tide me over until I find somebody worth kissing. #1. Johnny I was 8 years old…I was loud and obnoxious and didn’t have many friends. Johnny was a sweetheart with big ears. I thought he was WONDERFUL. He once saved all of his school merits to buy me the bracelet that I wanted. He saved for months. The culmination of our relationship came on a school afternoon. I was standing at the entrance and he c...

Internet Dating: The Fail

I am a child of the 80's. But I'm really more of a 90's kid, having spent most of the 80's too short for roller-coasters. But seriously, I remember thinking POGS were the most important thing in my life (especially my illustrious Slammer collection). I knew the Macarena, preferred N'Sync to the Backstreet Boys, purchased Lisa Frank school materials, and remember the very first song Brittany Spears ever released. I thought Empire Records had the coolest outfits... All shoes had to look like this... And the best accessory to any outfit was a Gigapet. I remember the first time I watched The Little Giants and Home Improvement. I was IN LOVE with Devon Sawa and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. One time I even tried putting up a poster of Jonathan...only to have my horrified father come and remove it. I have never quite forgiven him for what he did to my beloved. Devon Sawa Jonathan Taylor Thomas You should have seen my face when I realized that they...
