Fooling around on mental playgrounds

December 6, 2015 Lindsay

I have always wanted to be the best. It's not uncommon for people to feel uneasy about criticism. It's natural to not want to open yourself up about it. I'm no different. I tend to remember the critical moments first before the happier ones and whether I mean for them to or not, those negative moments Read more [...]

On with the show

December 2, 2015 Lindsay

The last entry that I wrote is mocking me. The entry that said I was going to write more and was finally going to get serious about this blog is just sitting there, waving its hands in the air so it's impossible for me to miss. Jerk. I want to blame it on the whirlwind summer, and while this summer Read more [...]

Insert Title Here That Is Not “To Write Or Not To Write?”

March 9, 2015 Lindsay

I really wanted to think of a way that I could make this blog less about me and more about a theme. The reason? I have been reading the fantastic the StephNotStephanie and I am jealous of her awesome. While I would have absolutely zero to contribute to the Online Dating scene, there has to be things Read more [...]

Surprises Are The Devil’s Work

February 22, 2015 Lindsay

I hate surprises. There. I said it. If you were ever to throw a surprise party for me, I would beat you within an inch of your life and then (most likely) cry. Gifts, compliments, accidents, bad news… It’s all on the same level to me and yet people always seem surprised when I tell them that Read more [...]

Happy Alentine’s Ay

February 15, 2015 Lindsay

It was Valentine’s Day! Honestly, I almost completely forgot about it. Even when I was in a relationship, it wasn’t a day that I really cared about. Just another day, but I wanted to take a moment to stop and reflect about the people in my life. While I’m definitely not romantically connected Read more [...]

Ringing in 2015

January 16, 2015 Lindsay

When I first thought about having the chance to blog again, I was dumbfounded. There are so many people who have better things to talk about than I would. There's nothing special about me or my experiences. It was a thought that plagued me as I tried to consider what angle I could take to talk about Read more [...]

Letting Go of Fear

June 11, 2014 Lindsay

It has taken a long time for it to sink in, but I think I'm finally starting to grasp that I'm afraid. Fear is a truly nebulous thing and there are so many things to be afraid of, but I'm not afraid of being physically hurt so much as I'm afraid of failing. We are taught from a young age that there is Read more [...]

Mako Mori, The Bechdel Test, and Female Representation in Media

January 25, 2014 Lindsay

There has been a lot of talk going back and forth about the Bechdel Test. For those of you who aren't in the know, the Bechdel Test is named after a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel who wrote a comic strip where one of the characters uses a test to decide which movies she watches. The rules are pretty Read more [...]

Novels that will punch you right in the feels

January 22, 2014 Lindsay

I was thinking about it last night when I really should have been sleeping and tried to figure out what kind of books I would recommend to people if they asked. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to keep the list short. There are so many books out there and a lot of the ones I left off the Read more [...]

In Comes 2014

January 1, 2014 Lindsay

It's a new year, but I'm sure that everyone already knows that. How are your hangovers? Are they bad? They look pretty bad. A lot has happened in the last couple weeks and I cannot stress enough how glad I am that the holidays are over after today. No more holidays until what? Valentine's Day? That's Read more [...]
