Good Riddance, 2009!

Photo by Flickr user jimgspokane Perhaps you've heard. 2009 was not the greatest of years for most people. Yes, really! It was so crap, Times Square in NYC even hosted an official Good Riddance party as part of its festivities. What are YOU saying good riddance to? For me, it's ... more

The Kat to my Starbuck

Apparently, I handle emotionally-devastating circumstances better when I put them into sci-fi terms. I need to tell you a story about an amazing girl, who I almost missed the pleasure of being friends with. For those uninitiated to the greatness that was Battlestar Galactica's most recent series inc ... more

in My fuckin life

We interrupt your regular post to ask for a Xmas miracle.
So, if you follow my Twitter, you know that this has been a pretty awful day for my big brother. He and his new wife, Gretchen, recently moved 8 hours from the rest of our family so he can attend Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in South Bend. This weekend, we ... more

LOLProm

We're planning our New Year's Eve Platinum Party and one of the coolest things about it is that we're going to be giving out free 8" x 10" photos in front of this giant ornate clock centerpiece, kind of like prom photos. If anyone is like me, I took TERRIBLE ... more

Social Networking: All the [Source of My] Rage These Days

One of my great friends said recently: "come over to myspace so i can twitter your yahoo until you google all over my facebook." I think that about sums it up, right? There used to be a place I could go and speak freely about what was on my mind ... more

Going Polar...[Bi]Polar That Is
So my life suddenly makes much more sense this week. For anyone who knows me, and anyone who's read my blog, you know that my relationship with my father has been strained over the years. That is an understatement. He has dealt with mental illness for many years, although he ... more

Coming Out...of Christianity...
Let me start by saying that I was raised a Lutheran, and I converted to Catholic in college. I have always had questions that I felt never got answered with relation to the Bible and God. I am a very literal and analytical person, so a lot of things that ... more

There are so many things I hate about people
Come on, we all know it's true, most people suck! OK, not necessarily most people but a large majority that keeps getting bigger day by day. But instead of all the things I hate about humanity in general (do you hear that my noisy, dumb-ass, crack head neighbors?!), there's quite a bit to dislike ab ... more

Trust Issues
I have trust issues. I think I've been fighting this for a while, but there's really no point, is there? Hi, my name is Caralyn and I have trust issues. Shocker. Right? This is, for the most part, entirely my fault. We give those we value in our lives the most potential power to hurt us. We let th ... more

Warning Shot
I decided somewhere between sleep and awake this morning that I am going to start writing my blog. I guess reading Tucker Max's latest has my mind abuzz. I've been meaning to put some of my stories in text and just... haven't? Here we go, I guess. Let's get some things out of the way(so you don't h ... more

The Day I Was Born Part 1
Let's preface this story. I grew up a square. Cultured, yes. But largely, a square. Did a bit of private school, played high school sports in the 90s/2000s(which means drug testing), went to church every Sunday, and never had a girlfriend in high school. Did I go on dates? Sure. Did I ever get emot ... more

The Day I Was Born Part 2
After one of the longer(and more memorable, although not quite as clearly as more recent) sessions of beer pong I've ever played, I follow Cool into the house with the two bikini-clad girls in tow. Cool's older brother was a bartender and just happened to be mixing it up with several coeds acting a ... more

The Day I Was Born Part 3
Cool nonchalantly said "so let me guess, that was your first time, wasn't it?" No speech was necessary. Cool nearly fell over laughing. "You mean to tell me that in the last 24 hours or so, you've smoked your first bit of pot, your first cigarettes, you got drunk for the first time, AND you just ... more

5 things I wish I'd known 5 years ago

Well, my alma mater started classes this week, so I guess it's time for that obligatory back-to-school post. I'm not sure if this year's incoming college class is still even considered Generation Y. Already, I'm beginning to understand that "generation gap" term. Sometimes I swear I'm a 24-year-old ... more
