Halloweekend is almost upon us , and I, for one, and excited. I may or may not have gotten too many costumes (is three too many? three is probably too many), but at least I know I am prepared beyond belief for what this weekend will entail. The good thing about this Halloweekend is that I feel confident that this is the sole Halloweekend of the year. Whenever Halloween falls squarely in between two perfectly good weekends, that's when I get a little bit concerned. Last year, I went out to a bar…

Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes , it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time, to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out-loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. If I'm being truthful, I mean, I-I have a…

I was never one of those kids who was obsessed with reading . I was a fan of child pulp fiction books (Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, The Babysitters Club, etc.), but I never identified as a bookworm. I was known to fabricate entries on my reading log, and I was not ashamed of it. My reading-neutral stance was mostly because I never found books I really fell in love with, but it was also related to my disdain for kids who bragged about reading at a college level. Even in my 4th-grade mind, I…

Let's be real for a second…consuming memes typically does not take a lot of brain power. Sure, some of them have words, but most have such a negligible amount of words that reading them barely counts as “reading.”

Fun fun fun

As you move through this world, you will meet some divas with such an insatiable zest for life that it's hard even to conceptualize what it's like to live inside their brains. This attitude can be cute…until it is annoying. There's a delicate balance between having a genuinely positive attitude and trying to force niceness into every situation despite its appropriateness. The latter option is passive aggression, the most toxic positivity man ever invented. If you don't take it too far, having a…

Humor like nowhere else.

It's a wild world

The internet would be a far more boring place without the invention of Tumblr . Over the years, it has faced almost as much criticism for its widespread craziness as it has praise for its creativity — but that hasn’t stopped it from having a massive influence on social media as we know it. There are few other places where you can bear witness to so many strange tangents and the offbeat humor that comes with them, although sometimes it can be hard to get to the good stuff. That’s why we’ve cherr…
