If one were to say to me, “Tracie, what is your dream man like?” I would say to them: “my dream man is someone who hates every part of honey sweet/salty chex mix except for the little gross wheat ones. They would hate the pretzels. Hate the honey chex. Hate the cookies. Hate the breadsticks. And love the wheat chex.” Who better to share a bag of chex mix with than that guy?...

Do any women's grad schools exist?
I never want to go to a co-ed school again.
Things my mom said really loudly in public places today when she didn’t think anyone else was around (but they were):
In K-mart’s underwear section (when random old men just happened to be walking by): ”Oh! they aren’t thongs, tracie, but they’re SEXY!”
At a restaurant when our waitress was walking up to the table: “There is a BIG difference between...

Two birds loved in a flurry of red feathers like a burst cottonball, continuing while I drove over them. I am a good driver, nothing shocks me.

Pet Peeves:
Forks scraping against teeth.
When people learn about my irrational fear/hatred of vomit and devote the next few minutes to fake-gagging around me.
When people blindly follow rules without questioning the purpose of them.
When people think figures of authority deserve respect and to be listened to simply for being a figure of authority.
The phrase “respect your...

Why do people feel like it’s a good idea to put vomit scenes in movies/tv shows? Yuck, yuck, yuck. I need a movie/tv show body guard who will always tell me when I should fast-forward, hide my ears and eyes, or leave the room.
Brains of tiny spiders fill their body cavities...

I’m home in my bed under blankets in a house that actually has heat.

I just had my first meal of the day, and it was wonderful.
I can listen to music without headphones.
My three babies are with me and Mary is snuggly.
I have an interview on Wednesday that may possibly lead to a...
Can You Tell The Difference Between A Men’s... →
“According to a new study, people can’t tell the difference between quotes from British “lad mags” and interviews with convicted rapists. And given the choice, men are actually more likely to agree with the rapists.”

A love letter to college students:
“I’ve been there.
Books piled up in a stack beside you. Nodding off to the glow of the computer screen. Neon strips of highlighter scraped across your forehead, leftover not from a raging highlighter party the night before but rather the all-nighter spent spooning Shakespeare term papers and mind-rattling interpretations of Samuel Beckett’s best...

I can’t believe that some people still:
Deny the fact that people are animals.
Deny the existence of evolution.
Think homosexuality is a choice.
Think voting republican is a great idea.
Think of AIDS as a “gay disease.”
Etc., Etc., Etc.
Twas the night before checkout And all through the room Hallie made me clean, and go find a broom.
Our dorm was a mess: mostly clothes, food, and cans. Hallie wouldn’t listen to Bob Dylan Or any other good bands.
She found an old pumpkin; it was speckled and rotten. Our blankets were made Of sticky Coke, paint, and cotton.
I could never find my headphones Or an overdue book; ...
