Volume 4
By now most of you know I’m pretty much a pharmaceutical company’s wet dream, what with my Fibromyalgia and allergies and all my other medical quirks. But what you probably haven’t heard is the story of my dental anomalies
When I was little I fell and chipped my front right tooth and needed a root canal. No biggie. A few years later, the root canal failed, which is not...

Carrot Top, the unfunny comedian and freaky looking mofo, grew up in Cocoa Beach, FL, which is about 45 minutes away from where I grew up in Vero Beach, FL. My sophomore year of high school, I dated a dude who lived in Cocoa, and we would trade off weekends driving up and down to see one another. This guy was also a pretty darn good surfer, and was well...

Wow. Solution to the “obesity problem” (why not focus on cholesterol level? or encouraging more exercise? ) are getting more and more non-sensical. Every time someone comes up with one, I’m amazed about how much worse it is than the ones proposed before it.

In two days I’ll be in Pittsburgh meeting with a new doctor about a total hip replacement. Reading everything I can get my hands on over the past few weeks about the procedure and alternative procedures has left me feeling more scared shitless than informed.
What scares me most are the numbers.
Three to five days in the hospital. Four to six weeks before I can walk without the...

Christina Hendricks: How???
indefensible:
For a while people have been wondering how Christina Hendricks gets to be so thin and have such massive cans. I think we’re asking the wrong question. Maybe the real question is how does she stay so rubenesque but keep such thin arms.
I think this is a question with a two-pronged answer.
Answers:
1) DNA
2) Money
Freaky Facts About Jewles Volume 2
I think I’ll keep in the theme of crazy shit I do while sleeping, because there’s a LOT of material there.
Here’s a good one: I always wake up around 4:30 to pee, and always take off my pajamas, unless I fell asleep shortly post coitus in which case I’m already nakie. So, every morning I wake up butt ass naked with no recollection of disrobing. When I am visiting my...

Since I have so much goddamn free time these days (see previous post for clarification) I decided I’m going to start a little one-gal meme. Every day from now until whenever I get bored and stop doing it, I will give you a strange fact about me that you wouldn’t know through interacting with me online, or even maybe in the real world.
So…gotta do a good one for day one…

In Lieu of a Real Life, A Post
Another perfectly wonderful evening cut short by my body’s inability to produce enough energy or mitigate my pain for me to go about my “normal” life. I haven’t seen some of my friends since NYE, which is far too long for me. I’m scared that by the time I finally feel well enough to socialize like a normal, active 29 year old they’ll have completely forgotten...

Curves are not what makes us women. Being skeletal thin is not what makes us women. We come in all shapes and sizes.
That is what makes us beautiful. All of us. Size? It doesn’t matter.
Now, I know you want to share your appreciation for larger women. I, myself, am a larger...

Having junk in your trunk is healthier than a spare tire around the gut, new research suggests. The extra padding on the backside and thighs could even help to protect against disease.

What would you pack if you had to cross through a forest of evil trees and murderous animals?
Water bottle, flashlight, lara bar for nibblies. Some sort of machete for trail-blazing, and some tasty homemade treats for the murderous animals so they would eat that instead of me!
Ask me anything

Hey! This is Anna (heylittlebird). I just saw your post about Mystery Science Theater 3000/Twilight. Have you seen the Best of Rifftrax - Twilight clip on youtube? It’s too good…a friend of mine has the full length film, if I’m not mistaken.
I love Rifftrax, and I haven’t seen their Twilight yet but I am going to check it out later. Plus I always thought...
