At the urging of a dear friend (you know who you are), I broke down and called my “second mother.” I can’t think of what else to call her, but she was my mother’s closest frien...

Money. I am inept at keeping or holding a job. I finally decided to give up because it just isn't worth the struggle.

7 Not-So-Scary Movies

Zoe D Oct 30, 2009, 7:46 pm
I really liked Blair Witch Project when I saw it in the theater years ago. I agree with the others, though. I thought that The Grudge should have been called "The Snooze" and Jason X was ridiculous. Jason X needed to be done, though, as it's important to send horror movie villains into space (Leprechaun in Space, that one Hellraiser movie, etc)

I went to grad school and all I got were these awesome food stamps.

I'm so glad that they use a card now. This week, most of my former classmates got their master’s diplomas in the mail. I got food stamps. I have yet to receive my actual diploma, and I do...

This shirt costs $20 on crookedmonkey.com. Does anyone who would wear it actually have $20 to spend on cutesy t-shirts? I sure don't. A friend took me to a concert last night as a belated birthda...

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

Zoe D Oct 11, 2009, 6:34 am
I disagree that we have the ultimate power to change if we hate our job. As someone who has been trying to find a job I don't hate (and that doesn't lay me off) for six years now, I can attest that there comes a time when you have to take whatever you can get and just try to find something else!

Should Prostitution Be Legalized Across North America?

Zoe D Oct 11, 2009, 6:23 am
Even if they legalize it, many women enter prostitution as teenagers. They can make it as illegal as they want, it's not going to make it safer for the ones who are most in danger.

The Best States For Health Care

Zoe D Oct 11, 2009, 6:20 am
I live in Washington state, and frankly I'm surprised we're not dark blue. I can only imagine the horrors that go on in the states that are! That said my (now deceased) mother had horrific experiences in both Texas and Arizona, and nice experiences here in Washington. She had money, though! I have no money, so for me, WA is pretty bad.

About Me

I am Zoe, a Seattle-based geeky writer girl. I like grammar, puzzles, board games, video games, television, books, and cute animals. I can often be found looking for a job or doubled over laughing at something that isn't terribly funny. My blogs are Modern Poverty and I Look Just Like You.
