Boring is Dumb

Sometimes I think I'm not a very interesting person. But that's stupid because everyone's life is interesting and exotic to someone in another part of the world or a very different walk of life. If you think you're boring, try getting out of your head and try talking to someone who isn't you.

I'm a 28-year-old lady and I drive to work every day. I work for an online retail company, where I sit at a computer gossiping with my old lady coworkers and listening to music and downing coffee. I've written a minimum of 750 words every day for over 500 days straight. I used to be religious but left my religion and am still navigating family waters about it. I live alone but spend a lot of time with my fella. No kids, no desire for kids. No desire for marriage, necessarily. Someday I'd like to own a dog again. The thing I love most about where I live is the mountains I get to see every day. I care about grammar a stupid amount.

These are things about me. Now you do it. Email me back and give me a summary of what your life is like, no matter who you are, no matter what part of the world you live in. Even if your life is "boring." I promise to think you're interesting.

(Hi, Jimmy. I hope you see this)

21,612 is a lot

Hi, everyone. I'm a teenaged girl. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know much about the world. I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I struggle every day trying to see into the future: into what might be, where I might go. Recently I've decided that my destiny in life is to be a high-school biology teacher, but ask me again later and perhaps that will have changed. One thing I feel passionate about is body modification. Somehow my standards of beauty have developed in a way that put piercings, tattoos, implants and scarification at the forefront. However, my parents have threatened to cut off their funding for my education if I modify myself in any way. I already have piercings, and though my family will never see them due to their private locations, I would love to be able to share this important part of my life with them and express myself through modification in a more public way. Essentially, they have rejected my lifestyle, and through this, they have

Tiny wings

Hi all, I want to write about a subject that is very close to my heart - bees! I started bee keeping last year, and have two colonies right now. These two already managed to supply my family and my friends with more than enough honey, and keeping the bees is a tremendously satisfying activity. They smell so good, and are very tidy animals, and are just very, very interesting overall. The insects' way of dealing with the world is just so very different from how we as mammals approach it - it seems almost alien. Anyways, what is probably most impressive is the workload these little animals deal with. For one kilo of honey, they visit 4 million flowers, and fly a distance equivalent of more than 4 times around the earth. Think about that for a second. And then, if you start to think about how they "furniture" their housing themselves by the wax they sweat out, how they can control temperature inside the hive to the tenth of a degree, how they collectively make decisions i
