Alright, girl. …
Alright, girl. Breathe. In, out. Deeply, slowly, and chill the fuck out. I’ve found myself lost in my own head a lot lately. I can’t quite figure things out and it’s driving me a little insane. I jump to every conclusion except the most obvious, often settling on the least desirable ones. And as much as…

Holidays Are Upon Us, and a Happy Festivus to You!
Didn’t think I’d be going through a breakup immediately prior to the holidays, but here we are. My inability to let go of people makes it a bit more difficult than most I think–it was only two months, it shouldn’t have meant much, and though my crying-my-eyes-out phase was confined to a single day it…

Took the Plunge.
Invested in a new camera on Cyber Monday. Though it probably was stupid of me to spend that much on a camera, I’m actually pretty excited about it. I like being able to design things using my own photography, and it will help me build up some photography skills in case that’s a path I…

Happy Things
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. I still feel full. Food is glorious. My check for my first published writing piece came in the mail today. I’m quite excited, but not as excited as my mom who rushed through the house to deliver it to me and watched me open it and congratulated me enthusiastically. …

Packrats and Treasure Boxes
As some of you may know, my father passed away in September of 2007. I use “passed away” instead of “was forcibly ripped from my life by the cruel hands of fate” in most instances because it just sounds more polite, but you know what I mean. This past summer, my grandfather (who he lived…

Decisions, Decisions.
Contemplating making this blog into a sort of fashion blog. Not sure how I’ll do this without 1. a camera or 2. someone to take the photos, but it IS an idea I’m toying with. Otherwise, what the heck else am I going to fill this space with? I can’t be witty and interesting all…

On Stuff and Things
“I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.” — Anna Quindlen (from Smart, Pretty, and Awkward, reeeally loving this quote…

Guess a Skimpy costume was the Least of my Worries…
Just an update that I survived the crazy Halloweekend snow storm that we got out here. In case you weren’t aware, the Northeast was hit hard by a Nor’easter, dropping 12 inches of heavy, wet snow onto the trees. Since the trees hadn’t lost all their leaves yet, the snow stuck to them and weighed…

Happy Halloweeny
Anyone in my family can tell you, Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Ever since I was little, I would plan out elaborate costumes months in advance. When I was younger my mom would actually make my costumes for me–a unicorn and a dinosaur being the ones I remember most, they were very well…

Some Links.
Some links I came across that really describe what it’s like to be a fresh-faced young college graduate these days.* The Frenemy: When I’m in a Rut–This girl sat next to me during our Novel Into Film class at Emerson. This post is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. She’s fantastic and hilarious and living…
