I only had a few hours to hang out in DC before we had to load up the car and drive home. Somehow, a few hours skulking around my former college campus was more than enough to give me an unending, “!!!! I am just. so. uncomfortable.” feeling. Yet when given the option to go […]
Last week was rough in subtle and unexpected ways. I mentioned that I broke up my first fight as a substitute teacher. That was a little less subtle. Most frequently, it was being confronted by my own limitations, both personally and within the opportunities made available by my jobs. For both of my current jobs, […]
During my obligatory WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE OH MY GOD WHO AM I post-college quarter-life-crisis period that I am totally still in the middle of, I considered a handful of different hypothetical career options. I have spent the better part of the last year working in education-related jobs. The question was always: […]
I had this idea in my head that I could somehow formulate a cohesive post to explain this year’s Coachella experience, but when 75,000 people gather in the desert for three days with over a hundred musical acts and a shit ton of weird art, that idea is absurd. So instead this is just going […]
This is supposed to be the part where I talk about Coachella and how much fun I had with Yvonne and, you know, my actual real live non styrofoam friends and siblings and even a fellow blogger in California. Because the short answer is: OHMYGODSOMUCHFUCKINGFUNYOUDON’TEVENKNOW. (I mean, of course you don’t know. Because I haven’t […]
In the days following Coachella each year, I am mostly just confused as to why I am not running around the festival sweating and dancing and smiling. I now get to spend this week wandering around LA (or mostly just the valley). I of course have endless feelings about all things Coachella (favorite place! favorite […]
And then there was Sunday. If this upcoming weekend weren’t Coachella, I might just say it’s time for me to pack up the April Adventures, because I’m not sure how I could ever top this. Although, I am posting this days after writing it — probably from my phone at a truck stop somewhere in New Mexico. […]
Things that are not awesome: being cold, getting your ass kicked in laser tag by not only your little sister but also your mother, and getting out of bed. Things that are awesome: just about everything else that has happened in the last week. After writing my silly post about my month-long quest for glitter […]
I love birthdays. It’s not the whole “Oh let’s celebrate me” aspect. I mean, fine, I joke with my mom and sister that their excitement over my birth should flow over into weeks of celebration because a single day couldn’t possibly contain it. But a holiday is a holiday. My freshman roommate had a September […]
It is once again time for the shitty movie blog ring! This month’s theme is shitty Nicolas Cage movies. I realized when selecting a movie at the very last minute under the influence of a good deal of wine that my ovaries and I clearly had no say in this theme selection because fuck you […]
