(a selfish indulgence: homemade mac n’ cheese) Today, I did a lot of learning.Before you get snarky (that’s what college is for, Jordan), hear me out.So far, my college experience has been all about me. A somewhat selfish time to explore all the possibilities that I didn’t get in high school. I exploited the opportunity […]
I have had a lot of embarrassing moments in my writing career.Looking back on it now, it seems that my childhood addiction was paper. I have half-finished or quarter-finished or even one-page-out-of-150 finished journals lying about my house, ones that have not been cracked open for years (fortunately, nowadays I am re-using that paper for […]
(I carried this plant all the way back from Virginia) For everyone out there who feels like they’re drowning in word count: you are not alone.Today my roommate and I returned from Virginia to New York City. Our cumulative journey consisted of a 4.5 hour bus ride, a 30 minute cab ride at stomach-churning speeds, […]
(click to see a larger version) Today is my 19th birthday. It was a fairly low key affair spent with gourmet pizza, vegan desserts (Pala Pizza and Babycakes are both delicious!), and my dear roommate Liberty. For the workaholic in me, there was also a gift: I mandated that I could do no work today […]
Roller derby is my football.I attended my first bout last weekend on Saturday – two NYC teams (Manhattan Mayhem and Brooklyn Bombers) against two outsiders (Suburbia and Providence Pigeons). New York cleaned it up with some amazing wins – Brooklyn creamed the Pigeons and Manhattan pulled a close win in the second period against Suburbia.But, […]

So, after a period of intense quiet around the blog, I have decided to resurface in pictures. In the next three days, I am going to overhaul my life once again and move back to NYC for the school year. Over the summer, I have completed many an interesting project, but I have realized that […]
So, where have I been?Well, recently my traveler’s itch has been scratched with two trips in a three day span – first, ZAPP sent me to Bellingham with coworkers (and boyfriend) in tow to table at Ladyfest. Second, Josh and I drove to Ruby Beach for a daytime getaway; although, it was supposed to be […]
This weekend, I was lucky enough to hang around at three downtown locations, all of which were very different and had their own special flair. Oh, and don’t worry! I will be posting one of my much-anticipated writing experiments sometime soon (maybe even at the end of this post). Friday, I had an undeniable urge […]
This is an interlude from my regular posts about the various nooks and crannies of New York. Last weekend, I took a crazy teaser vacation in Seattle! Although the weekend made me incredibly homesick upon my return, it was a great weekend for photography and observing people. SakuraCon is an annual anime convention in Seattle […]
