    I’ve taken a bit of a blogging vacation – unintentionally – while I sort out how to have a personal life while working one full-time job, and having a part-time job on the side, and sometimes attempting to sleep.  I’ll be back in a week to share my adventures in celebrity, trapeze, and new plans…

    It’s been a crazy week, folks.  It seems like warm weather and sunshine is bringing out the crazeballs in everyone.  My workweek was long but not uneventful: Late night Dylan’s Candy Bar run! instagram.com/p/YZG8QEOS7b/ — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 22, 2013 And I am currently listening to a full-scale fiesta happening above me, at one…

    (which is to say, I mostly sat at Planned Parenthood.) As an adult woman of nearly 29 years of age, it somehow escaped me that I should see a gynecologist.  I mean, I’ve seen The Vagina Monologues – TWICE! – but I’ve never had a professional look at mine?  Okay, that joke was a stretch. …

    Feeling:  Congested!  I’m getting over the flu!  I worked long hours during the worst of it.  Today is my day of rest and recovery.  I’m looking forward to doing a lot of nothing, sitting in a hot bath until the water turns cold around me, dragging out my orange fleece blanket, and watching trash TV…

    One of the topics that came up in therapy for me was my fear of making decisions.  It’s easier to back down to a safe place and go with the flow than it is to strike out and take a chance, if that chance holds unknown circumstances.  The story of my little star is that…

    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…

    Thinking about: feeling guilty for taking a vacation from blogging every day, like I have been so good about, but between troublesome internet and troublesome personal life (and nine-hour work days), I felt creatively sapped.  Sorry!  I swear!  I felt I couldn’t touch fingers to keys without spilling out horrible sadness, and I need at…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Late to the party?    I don’t like making New Year’s Resolutions because they’re so hard to keep!  And I especially don’t like telling people about them because then I’m held accountable.  Still, I have had a few New Year’s Resolutions in the back of my mind for the past month and thought to share them. …

    Some people dream of living by the sea.  Looking out their window onto the shore, watching the tide roll in. Others prefer the mountains, looking out their window to see peaks and forests and woodland creatures. Me?  This is my view: And while it’s nice to see those beaches and those trees every once in…

    My ghost-tourists often ask me, “Do you believe in ghosts?”  I don’t like to answer because I encourage them to keep an open mind but I will admit to being fairly superstitious.  Is it even possible to be superstitious and an atheist at the same time?  Please keep an open mind for me. MONEY  …

    It is known that I have not had the best relationship with Pinterest “life hacks.”  You know, those tips that look oh-so-easy on Pinterest and work for soooo many Pinners and have cute graphics and fonts and an adorable hipster chick with winged eyeliner and a topknot smiling through the photo tutorial? Those are mostly…

    Trader Joe’s has the greatest stuff.  Succulent baked tofu.  Delectable peanut butter salted caramel truffles.  And adorable hipster cashiers. I stopped in there last week for some groceries and that’s it, I swear.  The cashier-director directed me towards a tall, lithe, curly-moppped cashier with glasses.  Swoon. I placed my groceries on the register and pulled…

    My hobby of taking long walks by myself has brought me to some serious realizations. Firstly, that walking helps me clear my mind.  Much like the shower, or washing the dishes, I can think most clearly when taking long walks.  By myself, with music ringing through my headphones, even while texting.  I am utterly brilliant. …

    When someone says “East Village” to me, the first thing that springs to mind is the musical Rent.  I seldom associate my favourite haunts with being in the “East Village.”  But apparently, after spending the day down there, that is just what it is! See, I had this elaborate day planned out.  It would involve…

    On any given day, there are literally millions of people walking the streets of New York City at any given time. Probably hundreds of them are walking Pomeranians. Waiting at the light to cross Madison at 59th Street just a little past 5:00pm, I spotted one such Pomeranian.  On this given day, I felt a…
