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 [...]
Undimmed by human tears

“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 [...]
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?” [...]
Sex and the City of Pittsburgh
Saturday, May 31st, 2008
A theater close to me, one of the newly-built, large, flashy cinemas, opened Sex and the City last night, and you would think that Pittsburgh was holding the national red carpet premier with all of the big hair, heels, tiny sequin dresses, and groups of squealing BFF’s flooding the surrounding Waterfront.
I didn’t see it, [...]
Sport
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Besides lacrosse, I don’t talk too much about it, even though I live in the land on which all other sports teams go to die (besides baseball, but really, do we have to keep acknowledging that? A blemish on my good name!), and besides that time last fall when my punk of a sister [...]
Over the top
Monday, May 26th, 2008I went to Kennywood yesterday and used a disposable camera for the first time in at least five years. I started using a cheap Kodak point-and-shoot sometime around 11th grade.
There was something kind of cool about being limited to twenty-seven shots. Where I would usually take five or six pictures to get something right, [...]
