Do's & Dont's While Traveling in Europe

A recently re-found & resurrected blog that's too good not to repost... When in Wherever... DO ask foreign travel companions to do an American accent. Not just because it's funny, but because what they say inevitably reveals some stereotype about Americans. Like that we're all from Texas or frequent

So I hope all you Mofo's had a FABULOUS holiday, whatever you celebrate. I must tell you that I had the most entertaining, wildly hilarious, most memorable and BEST Christmas yet! My family and I treked up to the North Country (also known as Chicagoland area) to spend the holiday

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
