On All the Weddings I Have Ever Been to, as I Remember Them
@sevanetta Haha I don't hate you, you give me hope for the future! i just looked up your other comment on here and "a life experience everyone looks forward to as a little girl...wait.." TRUTH, my friend. I expect to cry and not pretty "isnt this ceremony beautiful tears.." and then I think about how every person in the room will be like "poor drunkennoodle, it must be hard to be 30 and single and watch your little brother get married!" (although maybe, not everyone will be thinking about me, perhaps) I just feel like an object of pity! And if anyone asks me when I am getting married, they are getting a knee to the groin, even if it's my grandma. i am just happy to know you survived, and if I cry once I will consider it a triumph haha

On All the Weddings I Have Ever Been to, as I Remember Them
I am jealous of all the people who have been to like, two, weddings. My little brother's wedding is coming up, I am single, I dislike 95% of my family and have nothing to say to them, I'm a bridesmaid, AND I can't drink (see also: the time I went to the hotel bar post rehearsal in a thong, the time I made out with a gross man on the dance floor in front of my parents). Thank god for klonopin, seriously.

On Really Good Books About Real People: Part One
I pretty much owe my sobriety to Caroline Knapp's book. I read it once, and then two weeks later, I read it again, and three weeks later, I quit.

@thebestjasmine I loved both of these books too! If you have any other recos in this vein, I'd be happy to hear them. I was sad when I finished Lola because I wanted more.

On Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School - Bras and Mildew and Taffy, Oh My!
@The Lady of Shalott I washed my three intimacy bras yesterday (let's not talk about the water turning brown) and they were still wet this morning and I am wearing a bra from "Before" and my boobs feel like they are all over the place, I am wearing a scarf to cover my cleavage area!
