Titanic Sinks! …awkwardly
Friday, June 27th, 2008 Wednesday morning, as I prepare to visit the Titanic Exhibition at a local museum:
“Carnegie Science Center.”
“Hi! I know you’re supposed to call a couple days in advance for reservations, but my sister and I were planning on arriving at 1, and I wanted to be sure there was room…”
“I’m sorry, we’re not showing today.”
“Oh, [...]
Look away

If there were any correlation between the blogs I read and my sexuality then for at least the first four years of my internet usage, I was absolutely a lesbian.
Lately, however, there seems to be a flourishing of male bloggers, hilarious male bloggers, and although they’re making a mess of my Google Reader and [...]
Chill pill
Saturday, June 21st, 2008 I’m prone to crankiness. My friends know this. My sister knows this. My ex-boyfriends know this especially.
For the past few months, I’ve been particularly unsettled. My friends have been graduating college without me. They’ve been planning weddings and landing stable jobs and even some, GULP, having children. They’ve been moving into houses, which is [...]
I just passed this to you under your desk. It’s folded into a paper football. Read it at lunch. Not Now. Stop, the teacher will see! SERIOUSLY.

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
Friday, June 13th, 2008
I’ve been across the country but I’ve never been across the state, and as I write this, I’m on my way to Philadelphia for work-related things, and I’m pretty excited about it despite all of its inferiorities.
I’m just kidding, Philly. I can’t say anything bad about the birthplace of Will Smith and…cream cheese.
I left [...]
It’s everything, how time gets away
Monday, June 9th, 2008 I’ve never made a solid decision as to how far I would go with this website, how much I would eventually disclose. There were several things I avoided sharing, especially this one thing in particular, which is why this post is, for me, both a challenge and a leap.
This summer, I will have been [...]
Silk and lace
Friday, June 6th, 2008 I’m not usually one to complain about commercials because by the time you’re done bitching the thing is off the air and forgotten and a newer, equally stupid one has already taken its place.
However, there seems to be a flourishing of online dating ads on TV anymore, and has anyone seen the new match.com [...]
Walking home from class, a semester later
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Original post here.
My fourth year of college is over, and I’ve realized a lot about myself, for instance, I will never be able to completely wrap my head around all of the many literary theories, and also, I am relieved I’m not having a wedding this year.
It’s amazing how much can happen in six [...]
Investigative Reporting. On car doors. And opening them.
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 After Omnomnomnom’s question on my last post…
I’m so confused on the car door thing. So girls DO want the car door opened? I’ve done it and then gotten yelled at for acting like the girl was helpless. There needs to be a standard practice that girls follow for these things.
I was curious as to [...]
Those days are gone
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
Former memories and moments of my life that, today, rarely ring true:
“I’m parked outside. I left the car running. Don’t worry, no rush.”
“Those low-rise jeans would look great on you!”
“What are you doing this summer?” “Family vacation.”
“Want to go see the Pirates game? It’s going to be a good one!”
“Are you working this week?” [...]
