EDC Las Vegas in two weeks! <3 Just got my tickets. :)
It’s incredibly possible that I got a bit carried away today at my newly discovered and now favorite independent bookstore, Alexander Book Co. How did I come across this place? While walking to the Identified office, I saw this sign on the corner that said “3 floors of books”, and I just couldn’t help myself!
Pictured in this shot are the four books I picked up:
- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
- Bossypants by Tina Fey
- Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler
- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Hoorah! Three books by three incredibly smart female comedians, and one amazing fiction novel that I’ve been meaning to pick up anyway (especially since I’m so close to finishing The Time Traveler’s Wife — how unfortunate! I don’t want it to end! — and I need something to fill in that fiction gap).
Stop by Alexander Book Co. when you get a chance! It’s not a chain store. It’s completely independent, so you’re supporting a local San Francisco vendor if you drop by. :) Hoorah!
- Put on your favorite upbeat music.
- Dance.
- Jump.
- Twirl.
- Laugh.
- Don’t stop until you’re exhausted and happy.
God. I’m so glad I’m not a teenager anymore. Emotions evolve so strangely as you grow. Jaded isn’t the word to describe how I feel about certain things. Just… Logical.
Those feelings that overwhelmed and raged a tempest of muddled thoughts and confused fear, longing, lusting, mood-swinging, excitement — chaotic bullshit. All of it.
I chatted with my boss the other day.
About what it’s like having grown up online, with my childhood on display and all of the ridiculous feelings and crushes and silliness there like a history museum of teenage angst. She said, “If anyone did what you did, it would be easy to pick them apart. It’s easy to pick apart people who are open and honest about who they are.”
And I had nothing to say.
It’s true, after all — I’ve been picked apart.
But I’m just… I don’t know. Happy now. Okay, even. Because I’m doing something I love, helping people as much as I can, and reaching my goals. I’m so lucky. As hard as this road has been, I’m just so lucky and I can’t help but feel so thankful. Thankful to who, I don’t know.
My parents?
My friends?
My amazing team at work?
I don’t know.
I don’t know why I’m writing this either. I’m sick and delusional and when I’m not working (this is my first day home sick), I feel unproductive and lazy and it freaks me out and I start writing run-on sentences because I keep thinking, “Goddamnit, body. Why are you home ill?! You should be at work! What are you doing?!”
It makes me mad at myself that I can’t be perfect all the time and it’s this crippling, awful thing.
I can’t be the only one who feels like this.
Why do I feel like this?
Am I the only one?

Lmao. My friend making fun of me because of how much I love my job.
My dad didn’t like my last profile picture and requested that I change it. Lol.
Loll. Pushing someone’s buttons because this particular person hates when I don’t give him straight answers.
Goofing off with Dad. Lol.
