Loading ...Rarely while I am writing a story for CC do I find myself changing my mind about the subject halfway through. However, as I sit here with my can of sugar free Red Bull trying to muster up some energy for whatever kind of weird crowd will be at the bars during the summer on […]

Social Poaching: Awkward All Around
August 19, 2008 - 4:30 pm
Last night, I pulled up to a house I have a million times before, anxiously anticipating hanging out with my two best friends ever . You know the kind of friends I mean: We had sleepovers complete with Spice Girls’ dance parties in middle school as we sported our bell bottoms & Skechers, played […]

Comments (3) Baggage: We All Got It
August 14, 2008 - 5:30 pm
In high school, I was more or less obsessed with Bright Eyes. I absolutely adored Conor Oberst and all his whiney, scratchy-voiced angsty music, not to mention his sexy eyes & all-around hot emo boy demeanor.
I was also extremely depressed, dropped out of high school (only for a semester!) and spent three hours a […]

Comments (5) Completely Random Stuff I Wanna Learn Before (Or Slightly After) Graduation

Three days ago, I returned from the first ever Rothbury Festival in Rothbury, Michigan – a 5-day musical event featuring an eclectic range of music, from Dave Matthews to Disco Biscuits to Snoop Dogg. I’m exhausted, my feet are calloused & my cheeks are sunburnt (& freckly!), and maybe it was just all the […]

It’s summer.
Translation: I’m not doing sh*t.
Actually, that’s a huge lie. Instead of lounging like I would like to be, I’m working my ass off at a menial job making minimum wage. Hours upon hours of filing, sitting in front of a super-slow, super-irritating computer and returning home to do the same (with the […]

Comments (3) Wow, This Sucks: Staying Sane in Summer School
June 19, 2008 - 9:30 am
Today, I realized I had been living a lie. When I changed my major from journalism to English last semester (big mistake – but that’s another story for another blog), I thought “Hey, sweet! I can catch up on classes this summer by reading classic lit (poolside, albeit), expanding my already-extensive vocabulary with words […]

Comments (1) Hey, I’m (Not) A Crazy B*tch
June 13, 2008 - 5:30 pm
Three nights ago, as I’m spooning in bed with my ex-boyfriend/current fling (the lines are a little blurred), he, out of the blue, drops a line that no ex-girlfriend ever wants to hear spoken about herself: he called me crazy.
I was speechless. Everything had being going rather well all night: I looked super-hot, we were […]

Comments (7) Bachelors: Just Afraid To Make Mistakes
June 4, 2008 - 3:30 pm
Once upon a time, I was in a long-term relationship (read: I suffered six years of awkward sex, needless fights and raging jealousy). Granted, I was in high school for the first four years and was a measly freshman/sophomore in college for the last two. However, I still thought I had found the […]

Comments (3) Sexy AND Smart = Eternally Single?
May 21, 2008 - 5:30 pm
I consider myself to be a female of average to above-average intelligence. I can effortlessly pump out research papers, calculate how much I can spend on eBay without overdrawing from my bank account and I can even pronounce and use words like “ubiquitous” and “ostentatious” in daily conversations.
I never thought that my innate intellectual […]

Once upon a time, I was skinny. Not to say that I’m not within my healthy weight range now, but back then, I was mind-blowlingly small. I didn’t do anything special, really. I practiced yoga a few times a week in my basement bedroom with the door locked and mood music playing (and […]
