Loading ...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 […]

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 […]
