Nobody puts baillee in the corner

I’ve been known to wear my heart on my sleeve. (Hell, I’ve worn it on my bangs and worn a headband to show everyone.) I used to think it was a bad thing… until I realized I’ve only been told by others it’s a bad thing.  I’ve also been told I’m too dramatic (my fainting…

Note: I wrote this blog post on Tuesday, but due to some unforeseen circumstances on Wednesday and Thursday, I wasn’t able to publish it until today.  Amongst all of the infinity symbols and wedding ideas, I found a quote on Pinterest the other day that really stuck with me: “Did you have a bad day,…

As a horror movie aficionado, I am used to women in horror often being looked over. It’s common to throw out a character or Scream Queen’s name and get a reception of blank stares, and it honestly sucks.  This one is for Barbara Crampton, Linnea Quigley, Karen Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, and all of the…

I am fortunate enough to have a lot of badass women in my life. Some are family. Some are friends. Some are Trans. Some are Queer. Some are straight. Some are Lesbians or Bisexual or Asexual or Intersexual or indetify as another part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Some are Black. Some are Hispanic. Some are…

There are several things I am good at in this world; being patient, however, is not on the list.  I don’t know if it’s the Leo in me or what, but I will swing in like a wrecking ball into any given situation (underwear, hammer, and all). Sure, I may text my friends for days,…

I can’t handle good things happening in my life. What a concept, right? I’m so used to things being so beautifully broken and fragile that it actually gives me more anxiety when things are good. I’ll try to self-sabotage (Hi, three bottles of wine). I’ll charge into a situation like a bull in a china…

(I know it’s a stretch, but I was pleased with myself). It’s funny how a song can take you back to an entirely different life, per se. The idea that a simple collection of notes and sounds can evoke some of the strongest emotions possible fascinates me.  “Forever” by Papa Roach reminds me of a…

Do not adjust your television set. I am indeed in a bra. Half of you are probably asking why this blog opens with a picture of me in my underwear while the other half is completely unfazed (Hi Mom). To clarify, this isn’t a Valentine’s Day gimmick. I’m not doing this for attention (Hi to…

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I love giving my coworkers and friends little cards and treats. I love looking super cute every year for myself (because you should never feel pressured to dress up for someone and only do it if YOU want to) complete with my conversation heart cardigan. I…

First off, this post officially marks me being a tenth of the way done with the hundred blog posts I’ve committed to in 2019. WOWZA. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has told me how much they’ve enjoyed seeing all of the TwentyMineTeen posts. Please know I appreciate it, and…
