NYC Day 1

I just woke up today, Saturday morning, from the best sleep ever. Probably because in the 43 hour span since Thursday morning at 6AM, I’d had about 45 minutes of sleep. We go hard, son.
I couldn’t sleep on the plane. I usually never can. I even took a Unisom! It was [...]

The Friday Four #30: Stuckified Edition

Sometimes things just get stuck in my head, and I can’t get them out. It sucks.
1. What commercial jingle gets stuck in your head?
2. What song do you HATE getting stuck in your head?
3. Have you ever had anything stuck in your hair?
4. This one may be unique to me… but do you ever [...]

The Friday Four #29: Costly Edition

I like to buy things, for me, for other people, but mostly for me. Some things I skimp on, some things I’ll pay top dollar for.

lessons learned.

One week ago today, I walked into my (now ex-) boyfriend’s house and found two used condoms in the toilet and the scent of another woman on his pillow, which was technically my pillow when I spent the night. He said he meant to tell me that day, that he wanted to tell me [...]

joy and sorrow

After recent events, I figured it was time to re-visit one of my favorite books of all time - The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.
It’s pretty deep - just a warning. This is one of my favorite excerpts:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled [...]

all that i can say…

i’m bruised, but not broken. - joss
what goes around comes all the way back around. - justin

i hate you so much right now. - kelis

So long, Raven. Helloooo Wentworth.

Almost 4 years ago, I purchased Raven. Unfortunately, I ran that bitch into the ground. Real hard.
So, I got a new car. Is it bad that the main reason for wanting a new car was to get one with an iPod auxiliary adapter? Well, that’s why I got one dammit, but there’s so much [...]

2. What food do you absolutely hate?
3. Which do you like more, cooking or baking?
4. Pick a starch: Macaroni & Cheese or Mashed Potatoes?

Random Article + Wikipedia = Dangerous

I love Wikipedia. The day I found out that you could type in “wp [what you're looking for]” into the Firefox address bar as a shortcut to get to WP, I peed a little from sheer excitement. Before I discovered StumbleUpon, Wikipedia was (and still is, really) my go to portal for educational entertainment. [...]
