A Disclaimer
Here you'll find some of my early writing, most of which was published on my old blog, Unhappy Medium. These essays are many years old and are very clearly the work of a girl just out of college. During this time I modeled myself on Joss Whedon, David Foster Wallace, and Mad Magazine, with predictably scattershot results.
A few of these, though, still make me laugh. Whether I'm laughing with them or at them is a question for another day.
