The End? Or Just the Beginning? | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/the-end-or-just-the-beginning

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. May 21, 2011. Or Just the Beginning? Well, it looks like the world didn’t end today after all. Did anyone truly think it would? I can remember more end of the world predictions than you can shake a stick at. Mostly because, there was a time when I actually worried about them. Why was everyone going about their business like another random day and not feeling an impending sense of doom? I was beside myself for days. I could barely sleep, I c...

All The World’s A Stage | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/12/17/all-the-worlds-a-stage

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. December 17, 2011. All The World’s A Stage. Sometime between then and now, I overcame my fear of boys, but I never acted again. It wasn’t the junior high play that made me avoid further performances, I just felt too self conscious to do it. And then after high school and college, there simply hadn’t been much of an opportunity and somewhere along the way I resolved myself to the fact that I may never be a famous actress. On December 22, 2011.

Living Room Dying Room | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/living-room-dying-room

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. July 4, 2011. Living Room Dying Room. Why can’t Greg come to dinner? 8221; She was desperately trying to think of a reason. “He’s busy.” “But why? 8221; “Um, he’s out with his friends.” “But I want him to come to dinner! Why wouldn’t I think that there just happened to be this family, dressed in far out bell bottoms and polyester, that would be going about their normal business while the world watched? So my brother and I would play Living Room...

The Day We Love to Hate | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/the-day-we-love-to-hate

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. February 16, 2011. The Day We Love to Hate. Valentine’s Day is kind of a ridiculous holiday. In principal, I am certainly not one to advocate for it. Similarly, I just found out about “push” presents. Do you know about these? What are we doing but setting them up for future disappointment? Of course I have, in the past, had mostly disappointing Valentine’s Days. There was the year when, in college, I was finally in a relationship for ...There w...

That’s Why It’s Called The Freshman 15 | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/thats-why-its-called-the-freshman-15

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. February 28, 2011. That’s Why It’s Called The Freshman 15. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately in a college cafeteria. This is way less creepy than it sounds, I promise. Think about it – cheap, ample food and a chance to reminisce on younger years? It’s a win win I tell you. Ah college cafeterias. The place where you really can have it all. Can’t decide between the hot entree and a bowl of cereal? Want seconds on that dessert? They played t...

Working Girl | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/working-girl

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. March 17, 2011. Job number two is a different story. The good news is, the pay is excellent and it came literally in the nick of time, just as I was about to reach the very end of my unemployment funds. The bad news is that it’s not what I want to do, at a company so huge I am overwhelmed, and in a location that is less than ideal for me. Laquo; That’s Why It’s Called The Freshman 15. On March 17, 2011. On March 19, 2011. Enter your comment here.

Sliding Doors | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2011/04/18/sliding-doors

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. April 18, 2011. Do you ever feel like you can trace almost everything in your life back to one defining moment, or one set of circumstances? 8221; I was freaked out… how did this guy know my name? I posted another ad this time announcing that I had a great place and I just needed great roommates. I actually believe the word I used was “fabulous” – remember when everyone was saying fabulous all the time a few years back? So who’s to say? I have ...

Hair Raising | The Occasional Fish

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/hair-raising

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. May 23, 2012. One thing you should know is, I have always taken pride in my hair. It’s one of the few things I generally feel confident about. I mean come on ladies, I don’t care how self conscious you are, or how awkward and unpretty you feel a good deal of the time, don’t you have that one feature that you know kind of kicks ass? And she was older – maybe in her 60’s. Which is fine! My parents are in their 60’s! Oh my god. Please tell us ...

The Occasional Fish | Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. | Page 2

https://theoccasionalfish.wordpress.com/page/2

Because as they say, there's the occasional fish in the sea. January 31, 2011. The Serious, The Sock Monkey, and The Tonsilectomy. Oddly, I have certain friends who seem to expect perfection of me. I was amazed to discover this several months ago when I made a life choice that was not wildly popular with some of my friends. I wasn’t hurting anyone or impacting anyone else’s life in any way, simply making a decision for myself that some people disagreed with. You know what? Don’t we all say things w...
