You get back what you give.

My old ass had (and loosely still in the midst of) a Marilyn Manson phase!

Some of y’all never had a Paramore, Green Day, Simple Plan, AFI & My Chemical Romance phase and it shows!

My child is autistic. He doesn’t do well with change. Even little things that would be meaningless to most people.

For example, his hairbrush was getting old and worn. He had chewed the end of it. The cats had chewed some bristles. It was dirty and dusty. But I didn’t say anything. Because it’s his hairbrush.

Finally, he said he thinks it’s time for a new brush. Ok, I say, we’ll put it on the shopping list, and get one next time we’re in town.

So we go to town and we go to the store. There are many hairbrushes to choose from. He picks one and they even have it in his favorite color. We buy it, take it home, and remove the packaging.

I go to put it on the shelf where the old hairbrush is. Can we throw out the old one, I ask.

That’s when he stops. That’s when he freezes and gets a momentary look of panic on his face. Throw out the old one? That hadn’t occurred to him.

Because here’s the thing. Hair brushing is a part of his morning routine. And not just hair brushing, but hair brushing with that particular brush. To most people, the act of hair brushing is the routine, but not the brush itself. The objects are interchangeable. But not to my child. Not to someone with autism. The brush itself is just as important as the act of brushing.

So I take a breath. I put the old brush down. Think about it, I say. Let me know tomorrow what you want to do with this brush.

He decides. He realizes keeping an old hairbrush is not necessary. But it’s still important to him. So he asks if I can cut off one bristle. To keep. As a memory of the old hairbrush.

I don’t laugh. I don’t tell him it’s silly. I respect his need. I cut off the bristle. He puts it in his treasure box, along side some smooth rocks, beads, sparkly decals, a Santa Claus charm from a classmate, a few other things meaningful to him.

He throws the old hairbrush away himself. He is able to move on, and accept the change.

Whoever photoshopped the Dashcon ball pit into this photo from the Fyre Festival did such a good job that Cosmo magazine put it in it’s list of things that went wrong at the Fyre Fest on Snapchat.

Updates and such

I quit making and selling perfume. I’ve given the company up to my boyfriend’s girlfriend. I’ve offered to help out on creating scents, but she’s in charge when it come to the business side.

As for my YouTube channel, I’ll be back to making regular videos in spring 2019. I still need the rest of winter to come up with video ideas and writing scripts. Thank you everyone that has stuck by me through this abrupt and long hiatus.

I need bad movie suggestions

I need to watch more so-bad-it's-good movies for an upcoming video. So far, I've seen The Room, Troll 2, and Sharknado. Suggestions for bad movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu would be greatly appreciated.
