Well,
the truck has left the building.
Well, it has left my parents’ house, that is.
I did one of those sketchy you pack it, then they drive it, then you unpack it deals. Only you rent PART of the truck. Then you put a little wooden divider up.
Which means.
That I will have a 28-foot semi attempting to [...]
What with all the hubbub about the Gates arrest, I thought I would shine a little light on race relations for you through a parable…
My summer job was babysitting my 5th-grade and 7th-grade cousins. Paul and Jenna respectively.
The 5th grader is obsessed with playing knee hockey. Therefore, I was forced to be “good cousin” and [...]
In the span of the last several months, I had lost some weight. The extra that had been affixed to my thighs, bottom, and tummy were gone as a result of the break-up diet. Best diet ever - btw.
In the span of the last several days, it is likely that the extra curviness has returned. [...]
So, the last six months have been monumental in this girl’s life. Monumental as in, CHANGE. Lots of change. Some cope by crying, some by stressing. Today, I was thinkin’…

Because of the impending move to an apartment much smaller than my own in a city much larger than my own, I’ve been selling a lot of my stuff on Craigslist.
Which - if you have never attempted this before - is a verrry interesting process.
Initially, I was a timid seller. You see, I’m not the [...]
So, I might be a little late in the game due to the absence of consistent cable - which is starting to feel a bit like I’ve lost the use of running water - but let’s talk about NYC Prep. I just downloaded and watched the first four eps on iTunes.
(Yes, I paid for that [...]
you ugly-cry your way through Avril Lavigne’s “Happy Ending.”
Avril Lavigne? Come on!
…also known as “The Day I Got an Apartment in the Big City”!
We went out with a no-fee/low-fee broker. Seriously people, big difference from the day before. The broker man - who had come to New York from Russia “a long time ago”
(ya know, a year)
- helped us hone in on what we were really [...]
Well… it was more like a half a day.
Three quarters of travel (last person on the flight - oops) and two apartment appointments.
I met Julia - my roommate - on the Lower East Side. We were going to an open house… which was - we’re pretty sure - right across the street from a legitimate [...]
I spoke a different language in high school.
Well, yeah - I sort of spoke French.
Vous avez de gros pieds!
See?
I’m not talking about the kind of language you learn in class. I’m talkin’ ’bout

And I had a clique. Oh yes. I did. Hush yourself - you did, too.
Oh, the days of leaving someone [...]
