I read a fantastic satirical article the other day about writing. Except at first I didn’t realize it was satire. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention to the title “How Not to Write”. So as I’m reading along about waiting until you’re inspired, sipping your coffee slowly, staring out the window, looking pensive and … Continue reading →

I’m twenty five and I don’t have a college degree. This is something I’ve been struggling with for years. And the older I get, the worse that struggle seems to be. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to go to college, quite the contrary- I love learning and I’m a respectable student. Originally, it was … Continue reading →

Every time I get on here lately I feel like my post turns into some hodge podge pseudo inspirational self-help lecture, the words leaving the bitter taste of bile soaking into my soft pallet. Which, wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t constantly tasting bile any way. Oh I never told you I have chronic … Continue reading →

Here is a brief story about a place I used to rent. Looking back now I can say it was a quaint and cozy studio, but recalling the day I signed my lease I can also tell you I cried. I was moving from a spacious river-view tower apartment to some 300 square feet of old, dirty, direct-access-to-the-back-alley space. It was one … Continue reading →

Unless there is a big fat sign reading PUMPKIN SPICE in front of Starbucks, I’m not a frequent customer. But today, this day of all blessed holidays, the tribute to St. Valentine (not) I thought I would go to Starbucks and purchase a less than mediocre drink because surely they will have Valentine’s cups. You … Continue reading →

I probably think you’re an asshole before we’ve met. Part of me wants to be sorry about that but the rest of me remembers what experience has taught me. Which is that you are probably an asshole and I’ll find out soon enough. I’ve been sorry in the past- sorry that I hold my past … Continue reading →

So yes, I’ve taken the plunge into online dating. Why? Because it’s just scary enough to give you an adrenaline rush and it’s cheaper than sky diving. And some times you get a free dinner out of it. I skirted the venture before, but couldn’t quite get momentum and ended up bailing before ever really … Continue reading →

I am in love with the power of words. Because it only takes one sentence to make me want to cry. “So I offer up my humanness if, instead of a place to stay for the night, you need to hear that even with everything in its right place it’s okay if you still don’t … Continue reading →

I don’t know why I’m still explaining my blog- “I don’t think it’s a fashion blog”, “I don’t want it to be my public journal”, “I don’t want it to be too serious”- as if anyone reading this needs me to explain that I’m pretty much going to write whatever I want sans filter.  So … Continue reading →

Remember that one time I went to bed at a normal time and it sucked? Yeah, deja vu. But that’s cool ’cause at 4am no one is around to judge interrupt my weekly fill of old Law and Order:SVU episodes or every single movie trailer that exists right now. Thanks, Hulu, for reminding me that … Continue reading →
