I went to go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Monday evening.

If you’ve been following my blog posts you know that I’m a tad bit obsessed of the Stieg Larsson novels called the Millennium Series and Lisbeth Salander’s character. I want justice for her and I… Read full post »

                     

 

In just about a week the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is released in theaters nationwide. I’m anxious. I wish I could say that I’m really excited that Stieg Larsson’s bo… Read full post »

I feel they’ve gotten out of control. Don’t get me wrong, I love that individuals that are different have banded together to (sort of) agree on what to call themselves and say “yes, we deserve a proper name.” however, when is it too much? We’ve got gay, lesbian, bisexual… Read full post »

 (I chose this video of Alanis Morissette singing "Incomplete"to share because I love her explanation of the song at the beginning.)

 

One day I’ll find relief

I’ll be arrived

And I’ll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends

One day… Read full post »

Hermione had a huge impact on me. I identified with her. I wanted to be her.

When I first started coming out sophomore year of college, I hung around lesbians who were also freshly out or were experiencing their first time without having to stay in the closet. And I think that’s part of the reason a lot of us dressed “gay.”

I wanted desperately to… Read full post »

This evening I saw a Tweet from @feministing that made me damn near want to scream.

Funding for Planned Parenthood has been cut in another state.

North Carolina has become the third state, after Indiana and Kansas, in the United States to make the horrible decision to… Read full post »

 

This weekend I got a haircut and got bangs. For all those other curly haired women out there, you know how risky this can be. The last regular haircut I got was just a trim and that was about six months ago. Being that I work with dogs mainly, they… Read full post »

This year I resolve to come out of the closet as a writer and a dreamer.

I’ve come out as queer and as a nerd already (and continually) but hardly anyone knows that I really just want to stay inside and write stories for a living and… Read full post »

I’ve wanted to write about Harry Potter for a while and now is a perfect time to share my thoughts in a more permanent way than gushing to my friends about it.

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter is not just a children’s story.

I think most of… Read full post »

I made this piece in the spring when I was unemployed and struggling with too many thoughts in my head.

There were those thoughts put there by others such as, you’re not trying hard enough, you really should be thinking about going back to school, what are… Read full post »

I was reading the latest issue of my favorite periodical, Bitch Magazine, when I started having a heated discussion in my head because of one of the articles.

Author’s Note: This is not a book review in the typical sense. I feel they include spoilers about the storyline. This doesn’t. This is more of my reaction to the book and my attempt to get you to read it if you have not already. I won’t be overly specific with… Read full post »

Do you have a daughter or a grand-daughter? Then she should read this book. If you are a teenage girl, or guy for that matter, who really gets into adventure and fantasy and Middle Earth inspired stories, then this is a book for you. And if you’re like me.… Read full post »
