Per usual, I end up in the weirdest conversation ever.


So per usual, my life is a joke and I just end up participating in the weirdest conversations because my face does seem to have that, “Why yes, I would love to actively participate in a conversation about shaving preferences for both man and lady junk at a playground on the upper east side” look to it.

Basically, a couple of days ago, I was on a play date with four other moms, one of which I nanny for, and somehow by some unknown power we had no control over we got onto the topic of shaving preferences down thurrrrr for both men and women –
Side note: I’m totally pointing at my lady junk as I type this post…fuck you, it’s totally possible.

And maybe I watch too much porn… well, I definitely watch too much porn, but I thought the golden age of 70’s lady bushes were over. I thought it was a “lets all go bare down there,” Brazilian, wax that shit off, type of era. Which I am totally cool with.

But for ladies in there 40’s they are totally not cool with that sitch for their snatch.

So basically, the main difference is one generation (both male and female) likes hair down there, and the other generation does not. I am of the generation that does not like hair, am I alone on that? I don’t think I am.

I like it just out there; I don’t want to have to go searching. You know what you’re getting right away for both parties. I don’t want the dude to be completely shaved, but I do like when a gentlemen upkeeps his dick beard. (It’s the least you can do gentlemen.)

I don’t like a surprise jungle; it’s just not my style.

But what I gather from this infamous play-date, is the men and ladies in their 40’s really do like a surprise, they like to go searching, it’s part of the foreplay...

…Uh, no.

 Maybe this is just a side effect of our generation, but we are all into that instant gratification, and the thought of having to search for sexual organs (for a lack of better words) just seems completely daunting at this point. And quite honestly, a complete waste of time.

Like, I just, no… I just want to know it’s there, I want to see it, I’ll do stuff with it, and then it’s done. The hair brings absolutely nothing to the table. It just kind of mucks up the works. And…it’s icky. That’s right, it’s fucking icky.

So I’m sorry, four ladies that I had this conversation with, but no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. 
That is what you should be saying about hair down there. No. No. No. No. No. I did not order this jungle surprise of unawesomeness and weird smelling stuff, so take it back and shave that shit off.

That is all.

Everything I love causes cancer/type 2 diabetes/weird looks in parking lots when I eat them alone in my car...


...which is bullshit...might I add.

1. Diet Coke

 ....how can a chemically enhanced substance that doesn't include liquor cause cancer...what the fucking fuck, America. What the fucking fuck?!

2. Light Hellman's mayo


Stop being a little bitch and eat the real shit...also, I'm legally obligated to admit that I'm not exactly sure it if does or not...but I'm just going to go ahead and assume so...that being said, light mayo is for losers...and devil worshipers.

3. Porn

 ...now I know what your thinking...'Natalie, porn doesn't cause cancer, you so crazy.' Am I though, am I? Just think about how close your man-junk/lady parts/he-she thingies are to that cancer thriving electronic machine...I just prematurely blew your mind didn't I...and your load.

....also, Jesus, let's talk. We are all going to die...so why not watch other people doing it, in weird positions that my body will never allow for a couple hours a day until then? What's wrong with that?

4. Pollution


...god damnit, I love you so much, too. No. Seriously. I love it.

....also...I felt like a total douche google imaging, "funny pollution." Seriously, I'm going to hell.

5. Strategically timed black jokes


...how does every good black joke start? By looking over your shoulder...whatever... you're all going to hell with me, people that pretended to stifle a laugh in front of their computers.

6."The Secret Life of the American Teenager"

 ....okay this doesn't cause cancer...but that show needs to fucking die.

7. Spray Cheese

...look we all have our vices...you like cocaine...I like spraying copious amounts of pasteurized cheese into my mouth. Deal with it.

8. KFC Double Down

 ...I think we all need to learn the phrase..."Fuck sliced bread."

9. Turn Signals


...oh wait...they don't cause cancer....use your fucking turn signals Maryland drivers. USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNALS!

10. Taco Bell



 ...I will always love you, Taco Bell...always.

You know for a "writer" I don't actually like to write...


I think it’s a common misconception that writers actually like to…well…write.

Perfect example…right now…I’m in hell.

I hate writing. Always have and probably always will. If you haven’t already guessed it by now…if it’s not smothered in mayo, then I probably hate it… and that includes you…. Miracle Whip…you sick son of a bitch.

And nothing is worse than the moment you realize your “pre-writing rituals”…also referred to as heavily drinking… alone… half naked…while finding more websites based solely on cats that look like Hitler.

… and when that fails…I just stare at my boobs.

But I’m staring at my boobs right now and…nada. Ideas are swirling… word placement is just not adding up…and that is key, my friends, key.

It’s probably not helping that I’m distracted by this insurmountable urge to pee, but I know once I leave to confines of my bedroom to break the seal, and find myself sitting on the commode…only to stare at my boobs yet again…it will all come to me, but… yet again…I will have been too lazy to grab my pen and pad to write down this epically epic idea all down…because…yet again…I think I’m smart enough to remember everything I just said perfectly in my head…

…I’m not.

…but come! In my defense it’s just not that hygienic to write shit down while I’ m chilling in the bathroom, now is it? And plus, where the fuck am I supposed to lean my notebook? My exposed belly? That curves perfectly into the shape of a table when I sit down?

…don’t answer that…or question why my belly is exposed?

I’m in an emotional/sexual/mayo-less rut…and while you may gawk at the theory….I’m pretty sure the sudden and massive lack of mayo-intake is directly correlated to my writing abilities…and my sexual prowess.

…we all have our vices, okay? Yours may make songs turn into colors and mine may just happen to go perfectly well with sandwiches/wraps/sex.

And that is why America is the greatest state in the world my friends! THE GREATEST STATE IN THE WORLD.

I’m also hoping that if I finally write all this bullshit swirling around in my head down...I can finally make room for some ideas/stories/mayo-recipes that don’t quite suck…as much.

Hopefully this is just a flare-up…but can we ever be completely sure?


I’m cute, but that cuteness will only get me so far, seeing as I’m disgusting….and lazy…and weird…and kind of an asshole…and a smidge pathetic….

And for a second I thought maybe that I should reflect on my lesser qualities/philosophies/addiction to mayo and you know…fix that.

…but then Matt handed me a margarita.

Sooooooooo, I started making a list of all my weird shit and it’s bad… like really bad (and sadly all true) ….pretty much… I’m literally wiping out any chance I have of getting laid with this one blog post.

…you’ve been warned.

1. I shave my big toes…they just have these 3 hairs that drive me crazy…and are a bitch to pluck.

2. I hate, hate, hate brushing my teeth…. I really do.

3. Mayo…dollops and dollops of mayo….enough said.

4. KFC Double Down…filled with dollops and dollops of mayo…

5. I’m convinced one day I’m going to be possessed by the devil…or maybe I already am…

6. My dream is to be famous based solely on all the disgusting shit I do… it’s a valid life choice.

7. I often ask myself…. “Why am I not slutty…er?”

8. Fuck flossing.

9. I think all jeans should have an elastic waist-band/spanx/a portable McFlurry maker installed in them.

10. My favorite dessert…hostess mini donuts topped off with a shit ton of vanilla icing fresh out of spray can….but, like 12 of them…in my mouth…at once.

11. My feet smell like fritos (when I don’t wear socks)…I don’t plan on fixing that.

12. My feet also sweat….like…all the time.

13. What does Grade D meat stand for? Damn Delicious meat…that’s what!

14. “Oh…it’s extra, extra, extra mayo girl again…”

15. In the winter I legit don’t shave my legs….it’s the closest I can get to feeling like a man.

16. On second thought… I’m pretty sure I do have a penis….

17. So what exactly is wrong with porn?

18. Fuck fruit.

19. If I had a penis…I wouldn’t wash it….deal with it.

20. One day some dude was staring at me in a truck when I was walking to campus…I screamed…”What the fuck are you looking at?!?”… it was my cousin.

21. I love the smell of chloroform.

22. I use my macbook to write/shield my food boner/conconct mayo masterpieces on….oh and watch porn.

23. I probably won’t care if you thought I was racist…as long as you think I’m pretty.

24. I have a dry head.

25. I like the taste of iron.

26. I just farted.

27. My soul mate is named Bell…Taco Bell.

28. Usually when I think my cell phone is vibrating in my back pocket…it’s just my upper thighs jiggling.

29. I hate nature…like legitimately hate nature.

30. Stereotypes are my favorite pastime….

There’s more…but you know I don’t want you to vomit in your mouth too much…

I hate being a girl...


I hate the moments when I realize that why  yes, in fact I am a girl.
…like when I can’t open a pickle jar without one of those old lady finger pad thingies…or when I realize that I have no clue how to properly use lighter fluid…OR when I look down at my legs and I don’t see a penis dangling in between my hairy legs….

Side note: Dude, if I had a penis…I’d play with that shit all day long. I’d jerk it…do card tricks with it…turn it into a lasso, and try to…um…lasso shit…hit people with it (in a nonsexual manner of course.) Oh god…the list just goes on forever.

Any who…I’m a pretty independent person…and I intend to keep it that way…so when these little nuances…like not having a penis…or upper body strength…pop up…this bitch gets pissed.

And I know I could probably fix this situation, by doing a couple of push-ups…and reading directions.

But where is the fun in that? There isn’t any. It’s fucking work. I don’t like work.

It’s a catch-22 really. I want to stay independent….but I'm cute so don’t want to do any of the work.

Look, I’m good at three things…writing…straightening my hair…creating perfectly timed black jokes….you don’t need upper body strength for these skills…unless the black joke goes awry.

I’m okay with that.

I know some of you feminists out there are not. You guys annoy me anyways…so I don’t really care if
I piss that lot off.

So all in all…even though I'm annoyingly pissed off about that fact that I’m a girl, I have to admit that there will be moments where I can’t be a 100% independent, which made me realize a huge flaw in this logic. What if I was just dependent on someone (Matthew) for a change? What’s the harm in that shit?

It’s a win-win really. I don’t have to do any of the work…and I get to lie around half naked while someone tells me I'm pretty while still calling myself independent.

Did I just grow up a little?

 Whatever, I’m pretty. Don’t contradict me.

Two years after graduation...


It has been two years since I graduated from college, and I can’t decide how much of an emotional wreck I should be.

I like to think that I’ve grown as a person in the last two years, but quite honestly on paper that doesn’t seem to be the case…

1 year after graduation

-live with my best friend matt in NYC, which is basically like living with two nagging parents (LOVE YOU MATTHEW)

I love you, Mom. No, seriously, I do.


I can never find my mother the perfect Hallmark card for Mother’s Day. Believe me I tried. But none of them captured the essence of my mother. Yeah sure there was the:

“I love you mom, you’re the bomb!”

And the never fail:

“You’re beautiful inside and out, let’s go fishing for some trout!”

But never:

“You’re racist and an ex-hippie, now let’s go shopping and scream profanities at assholes who can’t drive!”

Not even,

“Remember that one time you asked if I bought you and dad porn for your 31st anniversary? Next time I promise!”

Come on Hallmark! What the fuck? Whose the one mom you are writing all these God damn cards for? My mom was never the cookie-cutter type, Hallmark. Time to expand your rhyming schemes.

Why can’t you write a card about the lies our mothers tell:

“I have the two most beautiful children ever.”

“Really? Cause I’m fat and Nathan’s ugly.”

“Go watch The Simpsons.”

With my father an officer in the Army, often spending months overseas, I became very dependant on my mother. We’d go everywhere together, hand in hand; unless I was being a little demon, which, not going to lie, was often.

“Remember, when we are in the grocery store, call me Sharon. Not mom.”

“But Sharon!”

Sharon has always been there for my brother and I. Even willing to die for us. One time when I was seven there was a chillingly scary noise outside of our front door. Dad was in Bosnia. Nathan and I crept out of our rooms to find my mom clutching a rifle, ready to shoot, in one of my dad’s oversized shirts and no pants.

“Stay in your room.”

It was the most beautiful display of white-trashness, I had ever seen.

She’s beautiful, hilarious and classy. She’s not a Jackie O. She’s a Gilda Radner. Free and beautiful; without that whole bulimia thing. A Madonna gap between her two front teeth which as she likes to say, “You’re father finds it sexy. Don’t you, my big man.”

Discretion is always key with her.

“You probably shouldn’t give head until your married,” she said nonchalantly one summer day by the pool.

“You’re generation is too fixated on oral. Just have sex.”

I was 15.

Her only two rules for my brother and I have been: 1. Don’t lie. And: 2. Don’t drink and drive. Sadly, I have broken both, too many times than I am willing to admit. And every time she discovered the “slightly bent truth” the sparkle would leave her piercing green eyes. 

But like any great mom, she has always forgiven and always continued the previous conversation before our epic screaming battles.

“Now if you do do ‘shrooms. Do not do them in the woods. You will think there are bugs crawling all over you.”

“I love you, mom.”

we all knew i was weird one...but come on subconscious!

We all know that I’m a weird one. But my dreams seriously take it to a new level of, “um…what the fucking fuck is going on in your head?!? Stop smiling at me like that, you crazy sociopath, you!”

And it’s not even that the dreams are that fucking weird (well… they are), or the fact that they in no sense resemble thoughts lingering within my head the few minutes before I passed out. (Or maybe they do? In that case… I may need to get some professional help…)

What’s freaky about them are their vivid details leading to a beginning, middle and end, with a few plot twists scattered around.  It’s as if I’m literally writing my dreams while I sleep, but I know I’m not…I’m too lazy for that shit.

Case in point, let’s dive into my latest dream:

I’m walking into a hospital parking lot. I’m frantically crying on the phone to my mother, for some reason I’m having a panic attack but I don’t know why (probably about accidently buying a case of Miracle Whip or some shit like that). Up ahead I hear a woman screaming, but I’m more invested in my problems to take notice of this raging lunatic of a woman screaming like a banshee…. well, I’m not interested until I realize this crazy lady is Beyonce holding a bloody knife.

“Mom, I’ll call you back.”

At this point Beyonce is being surrounded by like ten men in white jackets and she is screaming, “It was an accident, I swear to god! I stabbed him in the knee by accident!”

They don’t seem to believe her.

Miraculously, my panic attack has subsided at this point but I walk into the hospital anyways.

“Who did Beyonce stab?”

I’m a nosy bitch.

“Jay-Z.” The waiting room says in perfect unison.

“That makes sense.”

“Are you here for the bad left knee seminar?” The lady behind the desk asks me.

“…Why, yes. Yes I am.”

Side note: I do actually issues with my left knee. It has dislocated on me too many times to count (which fucking hurts like a bitch, might I add). I’m supposed to do old lady exercises for it, but I never do, because they are old lady exercises.

Back to the dream. So I tell the lady I am here for the bad knee seminar, but only because I want to see how this whole Jay-Z stabbing thing plays out.

“So is Jay-Z dead?” I ask while nonchalantly perusing a People magazine.

“Oh, god no,” the nurse behind the desk says. “He got hit in the back of his knee. He’s in surgery now, so no one is allowed down that corridor.” She points down a dimly lit hall that smells slightly like Taco Bell.

I want to go to there.

But so does everyone else. Hundreds of reporters have now gathered in the waiting room, trying to find the location of Jay-Z.

“He is in surgery! He is not to be disturbed!” I screamed in my futile attempt to scare off the competition. The nurse behind the desk did not seem pleased with this outcry.

But then! Five masked assailants burst in. “We will get our interview! Or everyone will die!”

“Fine!” The nurse screams. “But you can’t go in, it will have to be her.” She points to me.

“Uh…what do you want to know?” I ask the masked assailants.

“Here.” They hand me a plate of enchiladas. “Ask him if he likes the beef enchilada or the chicken enchilada better.”

 “Uh…okay.”

Needless to say, the plate didn’t make it to the interview.

I walk into the room sans enchiladas, to see Jay-Z and Beyonce laughing and playing pool.

“Girl get over here.” Beyonce motions to me. “You ate all the enchiladas didn’t you?”

“…Yes.”

“That’s okay, their enchiladas are shitty. Want a beer?”

“Why, yes. Yes I do.”

And then my alarm went off.

Yeah…I’m going to go see a shrink now.


Girls, Girls, Girls


I feel like the show “Girls” is getting a lot of unnecessary hate.  First of all let me just say that this is definitely not a show for men, unless you want to watch the lead character get a pap smear and talk about her fear of contracting AIDs, then by all means gentlemen, watch away.

That being said, this show is fucking brilliant and yes, the show is not “Sex and the City” but you know what that show was bullshit, what 35 year old ladies have fucking bodies like them?! And this is coming from a true lover of “Sex and the City.”

Seven hundred and fifty a month on the upper east side, Carrie Bradshaw, in a rent controlled apartment? BULLLLLLLLSHHHHHHHHITTTT.

Yeah, two girls living in Green Point, Brooklyn in a shitty apartment is way more fucking believable.

With “Girls” this is my life. I live in fucking NYC, I am a “writer,” this is the shit I deal with, and not going to lie, I am not looking forward to the call I get from my mother once she finally watches the pilot and goes, “Woah. Woah. Woah. Is this what your life in NYC is like?”

“….little bit.”

But it’s so true! I have had that conversation about AIDs (and pregnancy) with my friends on a million different occasions only to get the response, “Well, Natalie if anyone were to get pregnant… it would be you.”

Granted, maybe I shouldn’t have had unprotected sex those two times, but whatever, you take Plan B, feel really sick for three days, straight and you move on with your life.

I feel like people hate the show “Girls” because 1. Either  you think that this is not your life at all as a 20-something girl. Or 2. because this is your life and it’s a little fucking scary to see on a TV.

You hate the characters because either you are that character or you know that character. You know that dumb fucking girl. You used to live with that dumb fucking girl. You have talked shit about that dumb fucking girl while drunkenly peeing in the bathroom with your friends.

And don’t pretend like you haven’t talked shit about that girl before. If you have a vagina you are genetically predisposed to talking shit about other people with vaginas.

Stop looking at the show as a group of four entitled princesses and embrace it for it’s brutal honesty and how these girls aren’t fucking perfect.

I do not have a six-pack. I will never be tan. I will never not have a little bit of cellulite on my ass and to see Lena Dunham basically naked, and she’s kind of chunky, which is totally fine, it’s amazing to see someone finally has the balls and the gall, especially a lady, get up there, and fucking go for it. Naked that is.

Can we just all admit that if you are a 20-something lady in this day an age, that we do not have our shit together, yet we are grasping on so tightly to make all this shit make sense? And whether you like it or not, that is what this show is about, highlighting the absurdity of our young 20-somesthing need to constantly make everything in our lives make sense.

I just don't get it...


I really don’t get my life. It’s confusing, it’s weird, and quite honestly it always smells slightly like beef lo mien.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Well, I’m not complaining at this particular moment, but I just have to know… am I alone in this situation?

For example, the amount of male attention I attract just does not equate with my physical features. Okay, maybe it does a little , I’m pretty fucking cute, god damnit! Then pair that cuteness with some assholey snarkiness and a well-tailored lime green mini-skirt sans underwear and that shit has the gentlemen douches coming out of the wood works.

But I’m a dick. A lady douche some might say. Yet, this always seems to have the adverse affect on the unwarranted attention from the male specimen I seem to constantly attract.

My favorite part of this situation is how this never happens when any normal human being would expect it too. Oh, no. no. no. no. no. Why should I be hit on in a normal situation? Like that one time I had that great conversation with that hedge fund analyst at that bar? That would have been a perfect opportunity for some normal hitting-on occurrences to well…occur. But, it didn’t.

Oh. No. no. no. no. no. I don’t get hit on in normal social situations, why should I? That luxury is left for the normal ladies of our society, and we alllllllll know I don’t exactly fit into that category.

So instead, I get hit on at seven in the morning while waiting for my manager to open the store by this ridiculously drunk dude telling me how he’s an “artist” and how his brother (or brother in law? I don’t remember honestly) produces the show Jackass, but of course, he had to ask me first if I had even heard of the show.

“Have you ever heard of the show Jackass?”

“Yes. What asshole hasn’t heard of the show Jackass? Jackass.”

Oh, how he laughed and laughed while simultaneously staring at my tits.

Maybe I should just stop talking altogether in social situations. My mouth seems to be part of the problem, well that and these dudes inability to not say something unbelievably douchy and retarded for me not to come back with some asshole comment.

“I just wish I had a magic carpet to take me home.”

“They ‘re called taxis.”

Maybe it’s not me. Maybe its my surroundings. I do live in New York City. This isn’t exactly a “normal” place to live and I fit in a little too well in this “not normal” place. Or maybe I should just lower my standards and start giving these drunk douches a chance.

Oh, and what happened to that seven am drunk douche you ask? Well he tried to get my number after my manager finally arrived, obviously I said no. But I told him I’d take his website, and supposedly he wasn’t lying about his “artist” shit. But I’ll let you decide.
