“There are going to be so many people there who are happy,” I complained. I tried to add, “and not stressed out,” when I realized that I sounded like an asshole, but the pause was still there. My best friend laughed at my anxious student whining on our way to the 24-hour café near our […]
Oh look, it’s a blog! Hello blog, how are you doing? I’m doing great, thanks for not asking because you’re a blog and can’t do that unless I tell you to. When I first got to Paris I was required to blog twice a week as part of my program. In spite of the fact […]
I have now been informed by a handful of people who are far away from me that this is the only way anyone can count on me to share things, and I have been sucking at it. Part of me is tempted to be dismissive and say that I haven’t been blogging due to a […]
California has become something of a mythical force in my life. I was in high school when we left, already filled with more angst than my poor parents should have had to deal with. Along with every high school kid who has ever been forced to move, I was not particularly pleased to move to […]
I am trying to keep the vlog and the blog separate, but it’s only working out about 50% of the time. I broke my arm a week and a half ago and I vlogged about it. I don’t feel like writing about it too. In other, unrelated news: I’m officially moving back to LA. I […]
I have started unpacking. “Finally,” you might say, if you are the responsible sort. Of course, if you are the responsible sort, you probably wouldn’t be back in your parents’ house. Or maybe you would — that’s a question I’m still sorting out. Of course, the post-tornado aesthetic still reigns supreme in my room. All I’m saying […]
The other day I was thinking to myself, “This blog is beginning to sound like I’m getting my shit together. Graduating and not falling in gutters? This girl is like a real person!” This is obviously false. I’m not sure what being a real adult actually looks like, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t include […]
This morning I started to send an email to the other members of the Snark Squad about all the things that I was going to to do as soon as my life settled down and I stopped living like a transient. I realized two things (1) I have been living like this for a while […]
Yesterday I moved out of my apartment. My apartment saga has been something of a character in my life in Paris, so it seems necessary to mention that here. I am actually a little sorry — regardless of what my last post says — for all of the introspective endings and beginnings and life in transition crap that is […]
Saturday was the second anniversary of my first post to this blog. I feel like I should do something to mark the occasion, but I am not quite sure what to say. That is sort of a running theme with me lately. When I started this blog two years ago I had just graduated from […]
