I n (s) a n i t y. Sunday, 25 December 2011. Keeping Christmas by Henry Van Dyke. I posted this on my old blog last year (or maybe the year before), and I'll probably post it again next year (or maybe the year after). I'm not a religious person, and this comes from a Christmas sermon, but it's one of my favourite things to read and re-read. It gets a little churchy at the end there, but you know what? Merry Christmas, every day! 8220;Keeping Christmas”. By Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933). Are you willing to b...

I n (s) a n i t y. Tuesday, 7 February 2012. SPOILER ALERT: American Horror Story. This post contains spoilers. I really can't stand having a show spoiled, and I think people who do it without warning are hot bleach douches. So please understand that if you read on, you WILL find out what happens during the first season of American Horror Story. There's also a Soylent Green (the movie) spoiler in here. Let it not be said that I'm a douche. And I did. It horrified me. The reason it did is that it ...There...

I n (s) a n i t y. Monday, 3 October 2011. Because love is just like apple jelly. This morning, I took my niece out to breakfast, and we went to one of those places that has a rack of jam on the table. I always thought those were so fancy when I was a kid. I couldn't believe they had all those jams available, just sitting there. You could use four different jams if you wanted to. It was all very decadent to my sheltered little mind. You should try apple jelly. Because there is. We tried the apple jelly&#...

i n (s) a n i t y: what's on here
http://in-s-anity.blogspot.com/p/whats-on-here.html
I n (s) a n i t y. I don't have strict plans for this blog- you may have noticed already that I'm not much for making strict plans about anything. But here are some things that I'll probably be writing about. I may or may not maintain this list as the blog changes. I think music is the best thing in the world. Honestly and without exaggeration. I'm not music-smart exactly, but I intend to write superficial and silly posts about music every week. Travelling (with two Ls). Other random stuff as necessary.

I n (s) a n i t y. Tuesday, 13 September 2011. I don't want to be a paperback writer. I like to write. I would like to do so professionally. However, when people inquire about my career goal, I never say "I want to be a writer" because that is easily misconstrued. I say "I want to be someone who writes something" which is as vague as my ambition and, more importantly, steers minds clear of unintended connotations. Also, don't give me your ideas because I think I just admitted I'd steal them.). Kind of wa...

I n (s) a n i t y. Tuesday, 31 July 2012. Hopefully my last whiny blog post for a while. (But I can't make any promises.). It's funny the things you miss. There are the big things: making all the decisions yourself without having anyone to talk them over with, not knowing what your kids are up to and how they're doing, having no control over who they're seeing and what those people are saying to them. Those things are hard for obvious reasons. Links to this post. Thursday, 26 July 2012. I haven't blogged...

I n (s) a n i t y. Monday, 14 May 2012. So you want (me to read the book you've decided) to self-publish, eh? 1/ If you want to write fanfic, write fanfic. 2/ Understand that your circle of friends is composed entirely of lying assholes. Okay, they may not be assholes, but I'm not sure what else you'd call a person who would let someone spend a lot of time and money on writing and publishing a sub-par, barely (or even un-) readable book. 3/ Pay someone to tell you that you suck. 4/ Market test it. This m...

I n (s) a n i t y. Wednesday, 4 April 2012. I don't hate you because you're beautiful. I hate you because you get your water glass filled faster than I do. Samantha Brick wrote an article about how hard it is to be beautiful. Brick prefaced her article with the fact that she's not drop-dead gorgeous, but she's tall, thin, and blonde. On the flipside, let me preface mine with the fact that I'm not hide-your-children ugly, but I'm short, chubby, and brunette. It's what women do. It's also universal. My...

I n (s) a n i t y. Thursday, 15 March 2012. That's a question. I keep meaning to prepare an elevator pitch about me for when interviewers say, "Tell me a bit about yourself.". It's a hard question to answer. It's like saying, "What is blue? Blue is. blue. I don't fucking know. I could explain the electromagnetic spectrum to you, but that's not really what blue is. I feel the same way about me. I'm just. me. Because why would I? Blue doesn't know it's blue. It's just being. Only we think it's blue. So, if...

I n (s) a n i t y. Thursday, 23 August 2012. So here are the problems I have with abortion debates. Normally, I would not touch an abortion discussion with a fifty foot pole because, as anyone who's ever accidentally stumbled into one with me could definitely attest, I get really angry. But some things about the way people debate it really bother me, and so I'm just going to touch that, which is tangential, and therefore, it's like I'm just touching the fifty foot pole with another shorter pole. As a wom...
