It's true, but I still like me some dick
This delightful soul is Mamrie Lillian Hart,

I first experienced her glory on the YouTube show

She has her own YouTube show,
You Deserve A Drink,
for which she won a 2014 Streamy Award

OOTD
This tank is from Society 6, a site that uses all original artwork as prints. The largest size is a unisex XL, which fits me well. It doesn't have stretch, so keep that in mind when ordering.

OOTD
Let's talk about this top from Wet Seal Plus. Its just as pretty in person, the material is much nicer than 100% polyester has any right to be, and it fits perfectly. However, I'm not positive that it's my style; I'm not particularly feminine, and the flow of this top might mean it'll become a hand-me-down for my friend Kit. I definitely recommend it if you love it, though. I got it in a 3x. I also got the camisole from Wet Seal Plus, in a 3x. I bought the light purple color specifically to wear under this purplish gray blouse, and the color works perfectly. The cami is longer than I'd like (a lot longer), but that's better than too short and I can just tuck it in.
I've talked about all the other items in other OOTD posts, so that's all, folks!
Click the photo for links to the items shown.
I am 5'5 and 210 lbs. I wear a 40D bra.
***Update: I did indeed give the shirt to my friend Kit, and she also wanted the cami. I stripped down in her car and buttoned up my coat. I wasn't even drunk and it was still funny. And it's totally her style and she will look awesome in it. Hopefully she'll let me take a picture of her in it!

My greatest accomplishment in 2014, and my hopes for 2015
I've trained my cat not to walk on my laptop, so when it's on my lap she actually walks on my boobs. That's right, my boobs are big enough to function as a cat bridge. That is my greatest accomplishment of 2014. I can live with it.
Goals and hopes:
I need to get over my agoraphobia. Hopefully I will find a medication that works for me (I'm bipolar and currently on Effexor and Lamictal), and the exposure therapy I've been doing should start helping.
Once I can go out alone and deal with public transportation, I will start volunteering at a used book store in the city. I love volunteering, and I love organizing large sections of books, and as a bonus, for every hour worked at this store you earn a $10 credit towards books. Wins all around!
I'm hoping I'll be volunteering by the Spring, and if that goes well I will start casually dating. I've looked for articles about "dating while fat," and nothing I've read has been encouraging, but at the very least I'll get some blog posts out of it and get to wear cute outfits for OOTD.
I will definitely (knock fucking wood) get into the vet technician program two train rides away from me, so my biggest goal and hope for 2015 is that I will be able to make the commute and handle classes. I have a BA, so I can transfer credit for almost all of the "core" classes such as English and foreign language, so I will only be taking classes part time and that will be a big help. Plus, school is what I'm best at, and the validation that comes from feeling productive should help immensely with my depression.
