stabby stabby, shouty shouty

I was really busy having this obscenely stabby stabby shouty shouty day.

people, man. wtf.

Yesterday I had to block someone on Flickr. Flickr!
This random dude – who, apparently, first discovered my photo stream when he Googled “Rasta dumptruck” – was commenting on nearly every photo I posted. Which wouldn’t have bugged me if the comments had had any real content, but they were all something to the effect of [...]

attention whore manifesto

My name is Maria, and I’m proud to be an attention whore.
This is not a passive-aggressive post.
One could certainly interpret what I’m about to say as a thinly-veiled response to a particular person or incident. It’s not. It’s me trying to put into words a chain of thoughts that’s been rattling around in my head [...]

and you-don’t know-me
and you-should-have-known-I-hate-red-onions-in-my-salad
and I-wish-I-never-met-you
and can’t-you-tell-the-truth-about-anyfuckingthing?

My name is María. I like wasabi, patronize bunny rabbits and think red wine really needs to stop pretending it's not purple.

I lived in Caribbean for four glorious years. My son - Joaquín the illustrious Bean - was born on the island of Grenada. He's beautiful, brilliant and has two birth certificates.

Now we're back in the land of snow and afternoon sunsets, and all the diet Coke and Thomas the Tank Engine in the world won't cushion the blow of such culture shock.

This is our story.
