Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 This is Rachel’s MacBook. I’d read this quick before she deletes it. You know how insecure she is.
The little hussy hasn’t had a lot of time for me lately. Although, I really shouldn’t complain. Her calendar has been stuffed. There have been less photos of her and the black-haired, tattooed being. I’ve watched Shakespeare [...]
Thoughts on comments
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008I’ve been thinking about blog comments lately. I’ve always been thankful and interested in every response I’ve received to something I write, but sometimes, I can’t help but wonder (paging Carrie Bradshaw — Carrie Bradshaw to the post, please) are we really listening to what someone says before we’re coming up with our own [...]
Who moved my cheese?
Thursday, July 31st, 2008A lot of jobs I’ve had have influenced certain qualities in myself, but not in ways I would’ve guessed when I took them. Working as a maid in a retirement home resulted in my tendency to rarely be grossed out by anything. Working as a college tour guide gave me the remarkable ability to [...]
Aquainted with the aftermath
Monday, July 28th, 2008 I started writing this post a while ago, uncertain of where I would end up going with it.
A lot has changed with this website over the past few years. I started out completely anonymous, and even then, there are certain things I wouldn’t touch, even though, in a way, I started writing primarily to [...]
Viva insanity
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008I can’t stand gambling. I lost $20 the first day I was here and I am done. That got me a good 40 spins on a slot machine, which equals about five minutes, at the end of which I was all that’s it? Where do I get my refund? No refund? But I didn’t [...]
Release
Monday, July 21st, 2008
You know how you have a list of things that you usually avoid bringing up, for fear of how it’ll affect others’ perceptions of who you are?
Here’s mine.
I only listen to mainstream music. I am more jealous of the girls my age who are starting families than those who are on their way to [...]
Literary narcotics
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Hey, you got a minute? Neat.
I’ve been required to spend nearly 10 hours outside every day since last Saturday. This span of direct sunlight has resulted in tennis shoe tan lines so extreme that it appears as if I’m wearing bright white socks (with realistic toe artwork) while barefoot, and has fried my brain [...]
“Girl Goes Out,” the Broadway Musical
Friday, July 11th, 2008 It’s early Friday morning, and this weekend’s setting is Syracuse, NY. Characters include police officers and sweaty athletes. The plot will revolve around sunburn, rest stops, and one girl’s fascination with hotel rooms. And, scene.
I had a crisis with my bank earlier this week, conveniently in the midst of my workday, during which time [...]
This just in
Monday, July 7th, 2008I had my cable turned off a couple days ago, and even though I’m unsubscribed, I have yet to unplug and return all of the boxes, so while I can’t actually watch any shows, the wonders of digital TV make it so I can still view the on-screen lineup. In short, I can see [...]

“Then hug Chuck,” or, “ThatNight.net”
I was terrified of fireworks when I was little. Besides that, I don’t remember too much about my previous Fourth of July’s, up until the summer of 2006 when I ran off to Maryland and met a bunch of foreign kids working in the states for the summer.
We decided to [...]
Speculative opinion of college, according to age
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 10 years old: It’s where teachers come from (“Mrs. Smith went there last year and she’s teaching us fractions and she’s SO SMART.”)
12: It’s mandatory (“It’s like, 13th grade, right?”)
14: It’s where you learn solely about the things you like (“I’m guessing I’ll have three photography classes and three where we take field trips [...]
All your face are belong to me
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
I like video games. Really, I do. I used to love video games, but my obsession was laid to rest a few plots down from Sega Genesis.
Derrick received an Xbox 360 for his birthday last month, and after watching him play a few games which I would be uninterested in playing myself, rented something [...]
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
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
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.
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Nostalgia

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 [...]
