Joy Unconfined

She is fond of ice cream, chocolate, cheese and many greasy foods. She’s very pushy. And I am fat because of her. Which feeds her. So there are more grilled cheese sammiches. And trips to the freezer for a few spoonfuls of french vanilla. And I’m out of chocolate.

You see, I get these emails from “RealAge” these days. I once took one of those “How old is your body in relation to your chronological age?” tests. Supposedly the test has behind it all the expertise and knowledge of Drs. Oz and Roizen. (I think I spelled that properly…) I used to take those [...]

I’m lazy, and haven’t been in the mood to actually SAY anything for a long time. Also, sickness. I have been snorting, sniffling and coughing for weeks. I’m quite ready to be alllll done with that. Anyway, I’m not being particularly interesting or thoughtful lately. Instead, I cop out and post memery. Yes. Lame. But [...]

Interactive bloggery! Answer all these questions. Do it now! I’m curious who’s reading and who they really think I am.

Here’s the ensuing conversation. I miss Dan. 2:36pmDan With money! 2:36pmJoy k! and where [...]

I’m going to cheat. I don’t have a favorite HNT of my very own. They’re all somewhat different. Instead, here’s a link to all my HNTs on this blog. I do have to admit I’m somewhat partial to the one of the drawing. Taking on art modeling this year was a brave new thing for [...]

It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine. So… How was the Year of Self-Redefinition? I’m not sure. I’ve certainly learned new things. My foray this year into burlesque performance has been mind-expanding, self-affirming, and generally good for me. My body isn’t perfect, or anywhere NEAR what I want [...]
