Spring Things!
1. What is your favorite thing about spring? Warm weather means more adventures! I can’t wait to revisit some of my old favourites like Park Slope and the Upper West Side, and try new places too! 2. What is your favorite kind of flower to grow or receive? I don’t think I’ll ever get tired…

Beyond Belief
Today’s Scintilla Project prompt (I can’t believe it’s almost over waaaah!) is to write about something incredible and unbelievable. Sorry to say, I always do and always have. If you want, you can re-read about: …the time I pulled at the laundromat : “Thirty minutes later, the laundry owner approached me with the…

Pedophobe
The way I understand it, babies are sacks of goo that can erupt at any moment. That’s why we swaddle them in diapers, plug them with pacifiers and suction their noses with tiny little turkey baster things. No offense intended, I’m sure your sack of goo is just delightful. He/she may very well have a…

Know It By Heart Beneath A Stone
Source: Uploaded by user via Meghan-Sara on Pinterest When I was fourteen, I truly believed that : “The reduction of the universe to a single being, the expansion of a single being into God, this is love. Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars. How sad the soul when it is sad…

Never Turn Your Back, Not For A Second
I have referred to this incident in the past, now I will share in detail what caused me to learn the harsh life lesson “never fall asleep with your back to a stranger.” Back over Thanksgiving, I had set my mind that I was going to spend the holiday visiting my family, regardless of the…

Dream A Little Dream
I was 23. I was in love. And I was on top of the world. Figuratively and, it seemed, literally as well. I would drive to the top of the highest hill in my neighborhood and look down at the sleepy town below, pulling over to the curb and putting the car into park. Looking…

How To Meet Cute Boys On The Subway
Step One: Follow him onto the train like the scent of a pie cooling on a windowsill. Situate yourself where you have a perfect view. Step Two: Stare. Drool. Step Three: Silently will them to look up at you. Bore your eyes into the side of their head until your gaze becomes palpable to him…

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…

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…
