All My Chobits
Thanks to the Crazy, Tragic, Sometimes Magic Michael, I have learned about the Scintilla Project, with writing prompts. I LOVE BEING PROMPTED. Really, you only have to prompt me to do something and I’ll usually do it. Which brings me to today’s prompt – a time when you were drunk before you were allowed to…

Don’t Try to Copy My Swagga
Dear Sir, I appreciate your look. Belted cinched fur coat, dirty Chuck Taylors, slouchy disaffected glare. I liked it even better when I WORE IT FIRST. Thanks ever so. Love, The Original Fierce Gangsta

Personal
Source: fazstreetart.tumblr.com via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest Recent and ongoing events in my life have given me cause to reconsider keeping this blog. I felt as though, in certain situations, my privacy was being invaded, and part of that was due (in small part) to this blog. My mother advised me to quit, or take a…

Everybody’s Talkin’ Bout How To Survive A Bus Trip
Okay, so maybe bus travel isn’t as dramatic as back when Joe Buck rode all the way to New York City to find his dreams. But in the years since I’ve been traveling back and forth to and from NYC, I’ve been stuck in hours of traffic, rode through countless storms, and even been slightly…

Think Pink
I have already come out of the My Little Pony closet, but today I reach a little further in to bring out something a bit embarassing – the love I have for Pinkie Pie. Look at them crazy eyes. That there’s True Love. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll understand when I say that…

Bye-atus
I’ve been absent for a few days to visit my hometown. Ah, home – where nothing ever changes but everything’s different. I managed to meet up for coffee with an old friend, buy a completely new summer wardrobe for about $20, and nearly get kicked out of WAL*MART for running around at 8am gasping and…

My Little Confession
I’m just going to come right out and say it: I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Some of you already know of this phenomenon. I myself once scoffed. It’s been a while since I’ve watched any cartoons that weren’t as trippy and terrifying as Akira. But anything is worth a try, right? And…

Supers Really Aren’t
Any minute now, the super of my building is going to ring the doorbell and find me in full makeup and pajamas, watching My Little Pony, waiting for him to come and fix three separate issues in the less than two hours before I have to leave for work. I don’t blame this super. All…

Do The Right Thing
I think I have a bit of a “Hero Complex.” Last week at work, near closing time, a young teenaged girl approached me with wet eyelashes and red nose, asking if anyone had turned in a white iPhone. Instead of just telling her “no, none such phone has been turned in,” I led her around…

Business in the Front, Potty in the Back
I think it’s time for some potty humor, don’t you? So I’m in the Time Warner Building. I’m in the restroom. Early morning. Which I know from experience is where fancy businesspeople come to do their, uh, pre-business business. This lady walks into the stall next to me an her phone rings. She answers, in…

My Ugly Truth
Beauty = constant perfection (?) A man at work joked about that “awkward situation” when you wake up next to a girl you’ve brought home from a club and “her makeup is off and she don’t look right.” I was stunned into action. “I am that girl.” He stopped, and immediately began backpedaling. “No, you…

A Peek At… MoMA
MoMA will blow your mind. Go on a Friday after 4:00. It’s crowded but free and you will NOT believe the crazyfamous art that you will see like this one and this one and this one But don’t bring your pet cat, because pet cats ruin everything. Especially furniture. See? Museum of Modern Art –…

Facebook: Doin’ It Wrong, Part Two
Source: searchenginewatch.com via Lois on Pinterest I love Facebook, you love Facebook, we all love Facebook. But I think we can agree that it can use some improvements. And no, Zuckerberg, we are not (with all due respect) asking for another news ticker on the right-hand margin. Thanks, and no. First of all, if you…

Open Letter / Plea to Instagram Users
Hi guys. I’ve happily been one of you for over a year now. In fact, the main reason for finally obtaining an iPhone when I did was so I could join the Instagram craze. I’ve been known to say “Instagram that shit!” And other snappy phrases such as, “I’m gonna Gram this…Instantly!” My love affair…

Winter Block Party
Hey Inconsiderate Neighbor! Do you LOVE block parties? The late hours? The screaming? The repetitive dance music with thumping base line? You must hate the fact that it’s winter, and too cold for block parties, huh? Well, NOT ANYMORE! Because I have a solution for you! Instead of standing in the cold street to scream…

Seen Around the City
A beautiful example of constructive graffiti. A sweet plea for companionship And the reason why GrubHub will always have my business(besides being cheap, easy, and efficient).

Fighting Illness
Source: google.es via Dina on Pinterest You know all my bragging about never getting sick? Well, hubris is a bitch. Because I got sick. And when I got sick, I became a self-indulgent baby. First of all, classic Doctor Who is available on Netflix (see above)! If Tom Baker can fight the Wirrn with panache…

Holy Bible, Batman!
*ding dong* I’m not expecting company… “[mumble mumble] Diaz?” a strong, authoritative man’s voice on the other side of the door. Uh oh. Is someone in trouble? Someone named “Diaz”? They have the wrong person! I don’t want anyone knocking my door down! I do a quick check in the bathroom mirror on my way…

For the Love of Walking
Ask me what I do and I will tell you I am a tour guide, and I love working at a candy store, and I keep up a blog. Ask me about my hobbies and I’ll tell you: I walk. Walking is not just a means of getting somewhere to me. It’s constant action. Meditation. …
