I haven’t posted too much. Just started a second job. Not sure how long it will last, but it’s a project that involves something I do for fun and pays more than I’ve ever even dreamed of so how could I say no?

Guy was PERSISTENT about wanting to take me out and then ghosted me day after I agreed. Well before the date ever happened. Just goodnight and never heard another word.
Like… did you win a bet over if you could talk me into one or something? Wife go through your phone?

I have an inbox full of flirty drunk texts from yesterday and I’ve realized I was way too harsh on myself for sending those sorts of things when I was younger.
The ego boost on this side of them is incredible.

I hate when you hit a point in a book where you just know the good guy is going to end up being the villain in one more chapter.

One of my sisters foot the bill for our brother’s cremation last month and the rest of us have been paying her back.
Today she says she’s using the repaid cremation money to buy new accessories for her smoker.
Am I going straight to hell for thinking that’s hilarious?

Sometimes I have deep philosophical questions about the nature of being and other times I wonder what Mary Shelley would think of monster smut.
