Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on February 20, 2016: What are we humans here for? Why do you think we were plopped onto this giant rock and left to our own (maybe mobile) devices? It’s a fun thing to contemplate, but it can also drive you mad. Or madder, depending on your baseline sanity. These are questions that bring fellow coffee-shop-goers, university-bound brains, curious children, and … Continue reading HALH: The Leaning of Mife
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on February 19, 2016: Work and I are celebrating our One Month Anniversary today! It’s true – just five days after our first Valentine’s Day together (wait, no, I don’t work on Sundays…), Work and I are raising our glasses and getting ready for a fun night (I do work nights) to celebrate our seemingly irreversible commitment to one … Continue reading HALH: Happy One Month, Babe
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on January 24, 2016: Maybe my goal to write every day was “unrealistic.” I am always writing in my head, whether I’m at work, in the grocery store, jabbing my foot into my break pedal while stopping and going for miles on the highway, talking to my mother about dinner plans, talking to my doctor about lack of … Continue reading HALH: Curse You, Biology
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on January 20, 2016: For the better part of two decades now, I’ve been trying to understand the sociologically mystical oddity called the “New Years Resolution.” We’ve all heard of it, many have talked about it, few have seen it in real life. It is a perplexing creature. Sightings are most commonly reported around the beginning of January, … Continue reading HALH: Are You Afraid of the Light?
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on January 20, 2016: My posts on Have A Little Humor are usually around 500-600 words each, and I spend a LOT of time writing each of them (I either care about my readers, or I only think heavily every few months and have to blog to prove it). But because of the time commitment I structure around my writing … Continue reading HALH: It Begins Now, Kids

Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on November 12, 2015: Warning: this blog post addresses the racially-motivated death threats against University of Missouri’s black community… and I should not have to say this, but the post itself IS NOT a death threat. It DOES, however, include a fictional obituary for someone who is still alive, and whom I know nothing more about than what a few online articles told … Continue reading HALH: Hunting the Hunter
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on November 5, 2015: I haven’t had the chance to blog in a few weeks, so I have numerous pent up ideas. And when that happens, I end up writing about none of them. Instead, I’m going to introduce you to one of the many reasons I write (and concurrently remind myself why I need to write more often). … Continue reading HALH: Tell Me I’m Write
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on October 19, 2015: Feedback is quite the drug. I’m two posts deep in this venture, and I’ve already received so many exciting and encouraging responses! (To be fair, I am dropping self-promoting links left and right, charming responses out of people like hypnotized snakes… but I haven’t been attacked yet. So I probably won’t stop until I rule … Continue reading HALH: Table of Khantents
Originally appeared on Have A Little Humor on October 16, 2015: Happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness happiness. If you’re like me, you see a series of words like this, take a second to confirm that they’re all exactly the same, and don’t bother reading each word individually. Repetition bores us. (I can’t even spell the word … Continue reading HALH: Semantic Recreation
