I wrote “Keep Your Eyes Closed” on May 30, 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. I was shopping for bras at Target, when a woman came into the women’s section with her 9 or 10 year old son. The mom clearly had some unresolved issues!

I wrote this piece on April 8, 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It is a summary, of sorts, of my emotions through the twists and turns of the 2016 election cycle. I used to write about politics. But then, something happened that made me want to delete all my political posts.

This is Blaze. I got him from a Menagerist Goblin during Season 8. The flavor text for this pet says: A brave cavalryman who made a horrific pact with one of the prime evils to save the life of his father, Blaze will never die, so long as evil stalks the land.
I wrote this poem on April 9, 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It is about a disturbing pattern I noticed on Twitter during the 2016 election. Some people were continuing to use Twitter in the friendly way we always had. Other people, however…. were not.

I wrote this poem on April 9, 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It was in response to a pattern I noticed on Twitter during the 2016 election. Some people were using Twitter the way it should be – while others were filling their Twitter accounts with hate.

Season 12 began while I was taking lots of antibiotics and trying to recover from acute bacterial tonsillitis. This left me with much less energy than I expected, and I was unable to start Season 12 right away.
After thinking it over, I decided to play a softcore Barbarian in Season 12. I’ve spent more hours playing a Barbarian than playing any other class. Playing a softcore character would allow me to make mistakes – without having to start over at level 1.
My goal for Season 12 is to get those lovely, dark, wings that are offered as one of the rewards.
In this episode, I read a piece of writing that I wrote on May 11, 2017. It is about something that happened when I was 12-years-old, which would have been sometime in the mid-1980s.

I wrote this on May 11, 2017, but it is about something that happened decades before that. This piece of writing is about something that happened at a party with my relatives when I was 12 years old, which would put it in the mid-1980s.
