Head-Space
I have a theory. On interior decorating. My theory is that you decorate your personal space the way the inside of your head looks. What? Ew. Not literally.Let’s take for example, my apartment. My flatmate is very organized and responsible. She is a self-described fan of modern, minimalist design. Nothing on the walls, nothing on…

Slangin’ Tough
While I’m on vacation, I have prepared a series of vlogs (slang for “video blogs”) FYE – For Your Entertainment. Today’s topic: SLANG! Here are five slang words or expressions I use to season my everyday conversation. They are delicious. Feel free to use them. Credit the source. First up: PTFO PTFO = Pass The…

If You Only Have Five Minutes to Live
You know those weird religious recruitment pamphlets that people slide under your apartment door? (No, you don’t get those? That’s weird. Cuz yeah, THAT’S weird.) Well, it gave me an idea: What would you do if: – you knew you only had five minutes to live? – you just found out that you only had…

Sharing is Caring…NOT
I consider myself a very sharing person. Therefore, I am a very CARING person. But you have to draw the line somewhere: Are you an over-sharer? Or do you refuse to share? Is it weird that I don’t like sharing any of these things? “Share” in the comments!

The Good Shit
Raise your hand if you’ve ever bought something because someone on a blog told you it was awesome. I’m raising at least three hands right now. The way I see it, bloggy friends are like girl-friends. If you found out about something that was awesome, you’d tell me, right? No secrets between girl-friends! Well, these…

Summer Lovin’
You know what totally doesn’t conduct unnecessary heat? Black plastic bandages. SARCASM! Summer in New York City can be…less than pleasant to most. That’s why there’s the cliche of the locals fleeing to the Hamptons. Those with the means literally head for the hill. Ain’t ya never seen The Seven Year Itch? Poor dude abandoned…

Headphones In
In New York City, there is an accepted decorum for addressing someone on the train when they have their headphones in: YOU DON’T. There are exceptions, of course: 1. If they dropped something important and haven’t noticed: a large wad of cash, their iPhone, their baby. Anything else, LEAVE THEM ALONE. 2. If you are…

Awesome Weekend-Brag
Welcome back to the other side of the weekend! Working a non-traditional job, I have a weird concept of what a “weekend” is. Soucre: TV Guide Nevertheless, My weekend starts on Wednesday night (like Friday night for you folks) and Saturday is my “Sunday.” Well, this weekend I kicked off by giving an awesome private…

Skulls and Roses
Clutch your pearls and reach for the smelling salts, I’m doing an outfit post. Everybody liked this dress so much when I posted about it on Sunday Social/Instagram, I’m afraid it’s become a runaway hit. I try to save it for special occasions. Like my bracelet? I made it! I’ve been just slightly obsessed with…

Licorice Lover
At last week’s session, I joked with my therapist that if I traveled back in time one year to give my former self a badly-needed hug, I wouldn’t recognize me. I dress and act like a totally different person and oh yeah, I eat licorice now. Not just the lame, cheater, strawberry licorice. The good…

Done da-Done Done DONE!!!
Okay, I spent Saturday getting my tattoo finished and eating candy and napping. Not a terrible way to spend a heat wave. Here’s the first pic – snapped by my fantastic artist Becca Roach just minutes minutes after finishing the task! Like, “Sit up, have a look, let’s take a picture HEY let’s go outside!” …

Being Alone
Chillin’ at the laundromat a couple days ago…I surely do miss comfy shirts! There is a difference between being alone and feeling alone. There is a difference between loneliness and alone-ness. There is sitting in an empty apartment facing a computer screen, aimed at the television, glancing down at your phone and wondering if anyone…

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
One month ago, while trudging through what The Weather Channel described as a “severe” rainstorm to deliver a ghost tour, just hours after having the outline of my chest tattoo done, I realized that I am kind of a badass. Look at me, a year ago. I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to live…

The Book Phantom
One of the coolest things about NYC is that you can always buy secondhand books (the best kind!) for next to no money almost anywhere. Everyone knows about The Strand, which sells way below list price. But if you’re just browsing, you can pick up a fascinating read off the street for a couple of…

Missed Opportunity
Things I Should Have Said to the Random Asshole Who Called Me a “Pale Skeleton” and “Anorexic” After Swearing At Another Random Woman, Making Kissy Noises, and Insulting Her Race: “Mind your own business.” “Watch it, loudmouth.” “Who asked you?” “Learn some respect, asshole.” “Yeah, go home and have a wank over me.” “If that’s…

My First Rock Concert(s)
I’ve alluded here before to the fact that I’m nearly 29 and have never been to a rock concert. Pause to grasp that, moving on. Last week I attended not ONE, but TWO LIVE ROCK SHOWS in 48 hours’ time. WHAT! First, I went to a place called The Canal Roomto see the music video…

My current Facebook profile pic – I thought it was fitting! Feeling: Thankful…(see yesterday’s vlog!) optimistic, and more than just a bit warm (NYC is having a crazy heat wave!) Watching: My Big Brother recommended me Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, because I was looking for an old musical and apparently I’m feeling very French lately? …

Tampocalypse Now
In about a month, I’ll be 29 years old. That’s practically an adult! One of the things I am most proud of as an adult is never running out of the essentials. I have managed to, since moving out “on my own,” have a never-ending supply of toilet paper, peanut butter and…tampons. Here’s an…
