I just got off the phone with my health insurance company and fuck those
guys. I mean, I’m a fairly intelligent and detail oriented person with
really great resources available to help me and they are still being
impossible so I have no idea what people do when they don’t have help and
the time to do deal with this. I was really furious and upset at the whole
system and feeling...
So fucking happy.
The best part of the Giants winning is getting to trash talk for the next 8 months.
Also, I have an odd love for Eli.
Sometimes, I confuse even myself.

H: [blank stare]
me: [laughing]
me: [almost walk into a wall]

You pretend you’re gluten-intolerant

You’re probably a lot more awesome than you’re giving...

me: ugh, I hate acknowledging my feelings
BFF: Me too, lady. I don't know how it got to be a thing where having feelings about how we're treated is bad.
me: I don't either. But I feel like admitting any sort of displeasure breaks some sort of social contract I don't remember signing.
