  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Blog Wonderful: My Blog Crush

    Blog Wonderful: My Blog Crush

    I’ve been meaning to give a shout out to an amazing friend I have and this post is going to be all about her (Dana it’s another praise Dana post!  Uh oh!).  So the amazing Dana is the first person I met in the blogosphere. This was way back when I was reading blogs, before…

  • I’m Stressing You Out

    Occasionally I check Goodreads to see what people think of Angst.  I’ll tell you, it’s hard sometimes to see that someone rated your book as 2 stars when you feel like you’ve poured out your heart and soul,  exposing your inner feelings and essentially how crazy you are, especially when you’re not sure why they…

  • 9 Lies They Told You About Being an Author

    Not sure who they is, but dammit THEY lied to you!!  Are you up in arms yet?  Read on! (P.S. I kinda riffed from my last post to create this post (I plagiarized myself!!) so don’t hate on me!!) 1.     Authors have thick skin.  FALSE!!  Authors are just like any other person, the difference is…

  • Unpublish?

    Seriously, Maybe, I don’t know? I have had this thought recently.  The thought that I’d like to fold up everything, my blog, my twitter account, facebook page and even my novel until it’s a tiny little package that I can hide away inside my heart where no one can ever see it again.  Because sometimes…

  • Love It or Hate It: Oh the Controversy!

    As I’m moving through my blog tour I’m learning that people definitely have opinions about Angst.  Some people love it, others hate it!  It’s interesting to me because I never really thought it was that controversial.  I mean…I get it’s kinda of depressing and it can be confusing, but I never realized how much it…

  • Bringing the Sexy to Crazy Since ’99

    Bringing the Sexy to Crazy Since ’99

  • The Way it Was, Back in the Day

    I grew up in a religious family.  I went to church every single Sunday. I was told not to have sex before marriage, not to drink or party and because of this I hid a lot of what was going on with me from my family as a teenager.  They knew about my panic attacks,…

  • This Season of USA is Lit!

    This Season of USA is Lit!

    These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s…

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND…

  • This is Why We’re All Overweight

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

  • Friday Obsession-Thoughts: Gifs and Funny Blogs

    YEAH It’s the FRIZZ!!  How happy are you?  The Frizz is the best day of the work week.  And when it hits end-o’-work o’clock then it’s the best day/time of the weekend too!  All in all, a sweet day. This week I’m obsessed with 2 things.  Gifs and Funny blogs.  For example, here’s one blog…

  • Tandem Sleeping

    Tandem Sleeping

    When I write Tandem Sleeping it makes me laugh.  It reminds me of slalom or something or for some reason bob sledding.  Why?  Why? Anyway, I want to write about sleeping with someone else.  It’s weird.  In particular I’m going to tell you about sleeping with Mr. VS.  Doesn’t that sound like fun and/or inappropriate?  …

  • A New Addiction Cometh: Coffee

    A New Addiction Cometh: Coffee

    I’ve recently added a new addiction to my collection: coffee. (I do collect addictions even though I make claim to NOT having an addictive personality. FYI, the things that I claim are always strongly suspect.)  Regarding Coffee, I never thought this addiction would happen to me. I thought I was immune to Coffee’s charms.  But…

  • Optimizing SEO for Maximum Angst

    In learning recently about SEO, I’ve realized that I do a terrible job of catering to my old friend Google.  Or Bing or Chrome or Jeeves or Yahoo or whomever rules my online searchability status (they treat me like a peasant, when clearly I’m deserving of royalty status.  I am QUEEN!).  Honestly, I don’t like…

  • Uncanned Laughter: Post O’ the Day

    I’m responding to a Post O’ the Day!  Here’s the prompt:  “A misused word, a misremembered song lyric, a cream pie that just happened to be there: tell us about a time you (or someone else) said or did something unintentionally funny. ” When I went camping a year ago with friends, we had the…
