Please Raise Your Glass

IN 10 days my big sister is getting married. I’m her maid of honor, and I am stressed. Not that I have much to be stressed about. Texas Lexi is pretty much the most laid back bride ever.  Her wedding is going to be 5 days of fun festivities and free alcohol. Literally 5 days: [...]

WINNERS!

The AFSP fundraiser ended at midnight on June 5th.  Together, we raised $1035 for suicide prevention. Last night as I was putting together the names for the drawing, I finally got to read through all your wonderful comments. You guys made me cry.  Thank you all so very much. Your generosity has blown me away. [...]

Please help.

Narrative Summary of the Circumstances Surrounding Death

Tattoos? Birds/seagulls in flight…
On March 18th 2007 I woke up.  I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and went to breakfast at IHOP with my boyfriend.  I came back to the dorm to see an ambulance parked outside of our building with the doors open. A girl was hanging on a boy. She was crying.  That [...]

Wii Fit has a death wish.

I was doing some reading for class when my boyfriend’s roommate’s girlfriend, Turbo (who gained this nickname from an introductory pole and strip tease class we took at Pole Dance Charlotte), asked if I wanted to play Wii Fit with her. In my mind I was all, wii fit, like, the exercise one? but of [...]

Disco Chicken

It’s too good. I’m sorry, but it’s just. too. good.
What are you talking about, Meck?
What am I talking about?!
I’m talking about something so awesome that I saw a twitpic of it it earlier and accidentally blurted out “omg yesssssssss” at my desk.
I’m talking about something so great that when I opened my inbox and saw [...]

Macs suck!

Hi, my name is Meck, and I’m a PC.
(half of my readers just had a seizure)
But, but why? I’ll tell you why! Because of you.
Just so we’re clear, I’d be more than happy to not have any conversation ever in the past present or future about computer operating systems.  Because I really don’t care.  If [...]

Meck goes to Brazil

This post is heading south. Way south. And uh, mom, if there was ever a time for you to not read, this is probably it. Seriously, close the window now and back slowly away from the screen.
With a summer trip coming up as well as my new boyfriend’s birthday, I decided it [...]

Return of the Meck

(once again)
I’ve been putting off writing this, my official come back post, for over four months now.  Frankly, trying in one post to reintroduce myself to all of you, to sum up everything this blog was and will be about, to be funnier, wittier, snarkier, and more candid than I’ve ever been before, well,  it’s [...]

Bank of America judged me

I got a curious letter from Bank of America the other day. Between my bank statement, credit card bills, and the millions of other “incredible offers” they send me regularly, I was going to avoid opening it. But when I was tossing it aside I felt some kind of card. Since they’ve [...]
