If you follow me on Instagram then you are well aware that I have been horny on main. The thirst shows up for Kronk, Pete Davidson, Zack Fox, and even the idea of someone texting a picture of two cats and saying “us.”


Over the weekend I caught up on Pat Regan and Cat Cohen’s Seek Treatment podcast. In recent episodes, Cat has gabbed about freezing her eggs and the side effects of being pumped up with hormones. I don’t know if I’m looking for an excuse for my behavior or if this is an actual physical phenomenon I’m experiencing…but I am going to blame the hormones for this newfound horniness.


Famously I have been on Lexapro for four years and added Wellbutrin to the daily lineup in November so all sexuality has been muted by SSRIs but ever since Miss IUD said thank you for your cervix…I have been feral…


Because of this newfound burst of energy, I am bursting with joie de vive!


I’m sorry that the past few blog posts have been so hashtag emo. What else is a mid-twenties Midwestern girlie supposed to do when she feels lost? I already ran away to Ohio and I CANT do that again.


This summer is the Spotify playlist renaissance for me. I have always loved making playlists but for the past three-ish years I haven’t been as excited by the prospect of a new playlist. But there must be something in the Milwaukee air—call it the lake effect if you must.


Maggie Moran introduced me to Zack Fox and his girlfriend Kat (Pickpocket)’s NTS radio show and it has inspired me to become musically literate. And when I say musically literate I mean listen to artists that aren't Charli XCX or Doja Cat (nothing wrong with their music obvis I just think people are tired of that being all that I listen to).


If you have any fun playlists or radio shows that you think I should explore PLEASE let me know.


Emily Cordonnier expanded her music library by listening to all the albums listened in Rolling Stones’ the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. She did say it took a few months but those months are gonna pass by if you listen to the albums or not!


TikTok showed me another fun way to find new music. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this in past blog posts or not but there was this random guy on my FYP that goes on a Hot Girl Walk every day for the duration of a full album and each day is a different album (I forgot albums used to be over forty-minutes so it's flirty girl fitness time).


Maybe I could do a hybrid of Emily Cordonnier’s project and the TikTok walk…That would actually be soooooo fabu of me, right?


But back to Zack Fox…literally why is he so funny? His tweet about white dads murdering their families and the photo the newspaper uses is always the same energy as a photo of the dad on a jet ski.

I re-listened to Sydnee Washington and Marie Faustin’s podcast episode from 2018 where Zack Fox is a guest and was laughing out loud. He said he’s so good at giving head that his temples are bruised. It was sickening.


Claud said that I should do what Zack Fox and his friends did and just geek around doing what we love and hope it blows up.


When they say that I always wonder if I should start making YouTube videos so I can gain traction but then I’m like the last thing I want to be is a YouTube comedian in 2022. If it was 2004-2011 it would’ve been chic and cutting edge and gotten me an SNL audition (and I would’ve been best friends with Kyle Mooney and the LOML Nathan Fielder) but right now I think I have to become a TikTok creator.


I’ll admit…that is an outrageous thing to say.


No one in the history of humanity has ever needed to say they HAVE to become a TikTok creator but I’m not afraid to step into the light.


Maybe I should just start doing stand-up again. It's just...I'm scarwed to go onstage again. What if I'm not funny and people only laugh at me because I'm the biggest court jester in the town square???


I applied to two jobs in the past twenty-four hours so I am going to be booked and busy all over again. I can’t wait to start grad school in September!!!


But forreals…I need to get back to living in the moment because four months from now I am going to wish for sunburn and beach days and compliments. Has anyone actually tried that Super Goop sunscreen? How much is it? Should I use it? Why can't all companies just make actually good products? It's so annoying.


If you have something nice to say…comment below or text me ;)
