This Made Me Laugh

No, I was never the class clown in high school. I barely spoke up in class because I was fucking terrified. TERRIFIED. You weren't there, and you don't listen or read my explanations. I minded my own Goddamn business and still had boys hitting me over the head with English textbooks, and shooting pencils at me. I was "just myself" and still got picked on. Imagine minding your own business and getting physically and verbally assaulted. You can't, can't you? Perhaps someday you'll be minding your own business and get robbed at gunpoint, or carjacked. Then, maybe you'll get it, but I doubt it.

Sorry, but you did. You had an opinion about everything. You thought you were being quiet but you weren't.

And being mildly hit with a softcover book is NOT assault. Comparing your experience to robbery or carjacking is simply ridiculous.

Grow up. And if you hated high school, don't go to the reunions.

So Chauncey, you went to school with me? Being hit period IS assault. I was hit OVER THE HEAD WITH A BOOK. You obviously are an asshole with no compassion at all whatsoever. I was terrified of school because of the hostile atmosphere. I hope you end up in a situation similar to what I went through. I wasn't "mildly" hit, either. I suppose you were there and saw the whole thing. Easy for you to dictate my experience to me, and easy to know exactly how it affected me as well. Thanks for proving everything I perceive about men to be true.

Jim Goad's Shit Magnet: Review and analysis, part one

I'm sorry. I told myself I would update this blog on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but I missed my deadline by 15 minutes. I wanted to grade papers before I got online, and it took me a bit longer. I AM sorry. Hope you enjoy this post. ----------------------------- Depending on your viewpoint, Jim Goad is an amazing writer with an eventful life, or he's a mean, hateful man. I have to thank Jim and Debbie Goad as influencing my 'zine “Angry Young Woman.” I knew I wanted to write something edgy, but wasn't sure where to begin. Then I picked up “Answer Me!” number three and I knew. I could write about whatever the hell I wanted. That's what Jim and Debbie did. They wrote about suicides. They wrote about handicapped kids who made their own music. They wrote about Suzanne Muldowney, a performance artist. And lots more stuff. Timothy Leary. Russ Meyer. And in earlier issues, they wrote about serial killers and mass murderers. They talked to Anton LaVey. They wrote abou...

Drugs and Drink And God: An Interview with Sarah Katherine Lewis

Image
Back in the glorious 1990s, Sarah-Katherine published a 'zine called Pasty. It was one of the best ones of the perzine genre. She talked about coffee and food and a sex party and checking out the jail and getting drunk for science. We got to know each other via mail. Yours truly published a 'zine called Angry Young Woman. We traded 'zines, and I also got 'zines from other talented writers. Well, Sarah-Katherine got a legit publishing deal and went on to publish Indecent: How I Fake it and Make it as a Girl For Hire   and Sex and B acon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me   . A review on Sex and Bacon will be coming from me . Indecent sounds awesome too, and as a repressed Catholic girl, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sarah-K's latest publishing venture is about being in rehab. If you loved her 'zine, you'll love Rehab A Go-Go . I know I did. Sarah-Katherine is a hell of a writer. Entertaining, funny, philosophical. She's talented and ...

That's Cinncredible!

A couple weeks ago, I felt the need to consume a cinnamon roll. I had one, but it wasn’t enough. I went to Meijer and tried a “Cinncredible,” a box of cinnamon rolls. They had two sizes there, a smaller one for one person or a couple, and a family version. I have to say it’s the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had in my life. The icing must have been at least a half-inch thick, if not three-quarters of an inch thick. Cinncredible is only available at Meijer’s. It’s nice to know that Wal-mart doesn’t hog all the stuff. Cinncredible is totally worth it.
