- Age 6- When I was visiting my grandparents for the weekend, my grandma bought me an ice cream sundae. That night, my grandpa took it out of the freezer to eat some and forgot to put it away. When I woke up the next morning to find it all melted, I was inconsolable. I yelled “I hate you!” at my grandpa.
- I never apologized.
- He’s dead now.
- Age 12- I shared a school locker with my best friend Kaitlin. She was a good student- responsible, pretty, well-liked- and I resented her for it. One day I stole her homework from our locker and submitted it as my own. She got detention for the first (and only) time ever.

 Because I'm sick of feeling so shitty all the time.
- ✔ Diet. Starting now.
- Workout every damn day until I look like a badass again.
- ✔ Buy clothes that fit. I'm not gonna look like a badass again overnight. In the meantime, I need to wear clothing that doesn't make me look/feel like a sausage crammed into a casing.
- This is probably going to involve a wardrobe full of men's clothing. I hate dressing like a girl anyway. On a related note...
- Wear more hats. They look cool.
- ✔ Get a haircut I actually like. I miss my short, spiky, butch-dyke haircut. I keep telling myself that growing my hair longer will increase my chance of getting a professional job, but...bullshit. If I'm going to be unemployed, I want to be comfortable in my own skin.
- Clean and organize my apartment. Living in squalor is affecting my produc...

 In honor of Mother's Day...
- I like my body. I work hard to maintain my figure and I have no desire to wreck it by turning myself into a disposable incubator.
- I like my life. I value spontaneity. I want to fly off to Paris at a moment’s notice. Having a child would hold me back and, in the end, I would come to resent him/her for it.
- It sounds trite, but there are so many unwanted children in the world to begin with. Someday when I’m wealthy and accomplished I can see myself as a foster parent. But until then, no dice.
- Between my mental problems and JR’s mental problems, I’m sure our kids would be saddled with everything from depression to OCD to schizophrenia. Not only am I incapable of coping with a “problem child”, but no kid deserves that predisposition.
- Toy shopping. Have you ever been to Toys R Us on a Saturday? I wouldn't navigate that mess to save a drowning kitten, much less to satisfy a shrieking brat.

 Envy I'm jealous of people...
- with effortlessly great hair.
- with culinary skills.
- with passports full of exotic destinations.
- with lovely singing voices.
- who make friends easily.
Pride I like myself because...
- I'm ambitious. I have high expectations of myself.
- I'm fiercely intelligent.
- I'll kick your ass at video games.
- I fight for what I believe in.
- I'm unabashed. I'll embarrass the hell out of you, grinning the whole time!
- I'll keep you guessing.
Sloth Things that make me lazy...

- nursing a hangover

- The way a big, steaming mug of cider fogs up my glasses when I take a drink.
- The tangy, salty smell of burning driftwood during beachside bonfires.
- Fall fashion- chunky scarves, cropped jackets and boots.
- Frost on the window panes makes my tiny apartment feel cozy and warm.
- Hunting for the perfect colorful leaf
- When I was a little girl, my Grandpa would pay me a nickle for each brightly colored leaf I brought him when I came to visit. It quickly escalated into a challenge- each leaf had to be bigger, better, prettier than the last one.
- My Grandpa died 7 years ago. Every autumn I take a bundle of colorful leaves to his gravesite.
- The stark, majestic look of bare tree branches silhouetted against the sky.

- Rolling down the car window and feeling the sun on my face
- Wearing bright-colored tanktops and letting my shoulders freckle in the sun
- Sipping sangria on the patio at Bistro 15...

- Does this outfit provide unnecessary opportunity for zombies to grab me from behind?
- Can I outrun zombies in these heels?
- Will this fabric show bloodstains and bra...
