Irons of misery

That's a terrible title. I was aiming for a pun on seeing both Iron Man 3 and Les Miserables the Movie this week. Instead, I may have just inadvertently insulted both movies, which was not my intent.
This is why writers drink, people.

We Need to Talk About Kevin.
No we don't. We really don't.

Yeah, that's all I have for tonight. My eyes are declaring mutiny.

Clutter

I read somewhere (okay, fine it was that book by that Hoarders guy) that stage 1 of hoarding could be having random piles of stuff in corners of rooms that don't belong there.
If you could see my bedroom, you would see that every corner is occupied by something and it's seriously cheesing me off. I think that's why I've suddenly thrown myself into trading things at Amazon, putting them on Ebay, donating them to thrift stores, etc. I don't want to have to keep looking at all this crap. I'm having an It's all junk! moment but I don't know why.
I'm going to blame it on turning 30 this year. That's my excuse for everything.
By the way, check out Matt Paxton's podcast, 5 Decisions Away. It's definitely not safe for work or anywhere that you're not using headphones. But Paxton, co-host Cabel, and various guest stars share jokes, stories, and fun. Go listen!

Low-techiness and paring down

I'm compulsive and impulsive, which is a really, really bad combination sometimes (okay, all the time). I can spend weeks obsessing over what kind pen to get and then just as quickly decide I need to upgrade my laptop right this very minute go saddle up the car!
Lately, I've been obsessed with de-cluttering (see, this is what happens when you watch Hoarders). Then I got annoyed with Ebay. Then I discovered the Amazon Trade-In Store
You can see where this is going.

Phoning It In, Part 2: The Linkening

First, I stole from my own email drafts. Tonight, I'm blatantly stealing from my Simplenote collection. Besides, randomly listing stuff to write about is fun in its own way-- sometimes more fun than actually writing about said topic.
Or you know, maybe I'm just making excuses for being a lazy slacker-ass who just wants to drink hot chocolate and read her Kindle.

The ankle gets its revenge

Remember how I sprained my ankle last year and it sucked and I was all whiny about it for a long time? Well, I guess my mouth got jealous of all that time attention or something, because in addition to the ongoing dental work I've been taking care of since 2013 began for Reasons, I now have to get a freaking root canal on one of my teeth! A root canal. Root. Canal.

Life Advice Websites and Getting Personal Now


After talking with some friends and then being compelled to spam them with links, I realized I should just write a stupid blog entry too. Below are various links to Life Advice websites I've used/read all the time. Buckle up, kids-- we're about to go to Personal-Shit-Just-Got-Real-Land, followed by a possible drive-by of TMI-Ville (dependent on time).
