Feeling: DRAINED. I’ve been working 20-day stretches in a row with no day off. It’s the busiest time of the year for ghost tours, and after that, it becomes the busiest time of the year for candy store. Watching: Classic Doctor Who. Still. Tom Baker’s clownish sweetness is addictive! Reading: I haven’t had time to…

Blogtember #20: Back in Black
I have no idea when I received this bottle of black nail polish, but I know it was before I moved to NYC, so that makes it very old. I noticed it has started to take a turn for the worse, and decided it needed a proper send-off. Black is the color of sadness. The…

Cute Couple
It had been an exceedingly long day. Full day at work, followed by errands. My legs were sore and muscles buzzing with ache. It was around 10:30 at night and I had just finished my final errand of the night: a few essentials at the grocery store. My shopping bag weighed heavy on my shoulder…

Blogtember #16: Review — Living Single
All the Single Ladies, Put Your Hands Up.Let’s be honest. Having a relationship is great, but being single is tha bomb. Whether you’re a veteran at being unattached or freshly dumped, you have to agree that it’s somewhat of a relief to be footloose and fancy-free! I even made a little poem about it! S…

Blogtember #15: Be Careful What You Wish For
“Life lately” is going incredibly well. Almost too well, in fact… I asked my hair stylist at my last bang trim to do a cute, asymmetrical chop. The result? Much too short! I’ve been growing out my unfortunate bang decision ever since! I couldn’t wait for fall weather! The heat was driving me insane and…

Clever
You don’t make it to Employee of the Month without making a few die-hard fans. After a little over a year at work, I have gained some fans. Regular customers who stop in, chat a bit, and whom I’ve gotten to know. There’s my High School Pep Squad, who pop in after school for a…

New bang trim…what do we think??? Feeling: EXCITED! Fall is my favourite season! I adore Halloween. New York Comic Con is just around the corner. And I count the days until my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! Watching: Classic Doctor Who. I keep returning to it because it has such heart and so much…

Special Delivery
Hiya, Internet! Didja miss me? It’s been one month of radio silence from me except for the random here-and-there phone post. Shudder! I finally received my charge cord in the mail from the UPS! Here’s a funny thing about the UPS: they claim to be a delivery service, but they don’t ACTUALLY deliver packages. On…

No Charge Cord: Week Four
Dear Outside World: It’s been four weeks without a computer. What’s a girl to do with her time? Outside of working 6-7 days a week, I’ve been going on a lot of OkCupid dates (post about that pending when I have a computer again), watching classic Doctor Who (more posts about that when I have…

Speaking of Saturday…
I haven’t been blogging every day and I miss it! My computer charge cord was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but thanks to the gross incompetence of the UPS, I have to pay a convenience fee (HA!) and wait an additional week for delivery. I have no idea how anyone gets packages with UPS. Unless…

Misanthropy is the Choice for Me!
Let’s recap. It’s been almost a week to the day since I got epically dumped. Why am I sharing all this? Bonnie over at Life of Bon has invited everyone to “Just Write” and to link up. Yay, my computer is down, I’m barely able to keep up with my blogging and I’m doing this…

Don't Get Mad, Get A Cactus
So it would seem I have a type. This is George. George is an Oreocereus celsianus, or “old man” cactus. He’s a bit abrasive and he mostly ignores me but I absolutely dote on him. I can hold him and twist his hair in my fingers and breathe in his spicy scent and he…

If I Had to Guess…
“I like your shirt,” I told my customer. “Where did you get it?” “Guess.” I paused. “I don’t know, it’s really pretty though.” “No, guess.” “I honestly wouldn’t even begin to know where you got that shirt from, I’m sorry. “It’s from Guess.” Classic.

Scenes From The Morning I Got Dumped
21 blocks from where I got dumped In a Rite Aid A stranger states down at me from immense height. “Wow, that must’ve hurt.” Yeah “Right over the heart.” Yeah “You like pain?” It would appear so “But it goes away. The pain. After a while.” Yeah 38 blocks from where i got dumped. A…

Teething
I am, as we speak, cutting my wisdom tooth. Again. The cashier at Trader Joe’s put it best when he said “Every six month is indescribable pain, then it goes away and you forget to deal with it.” Basically. In the end, though, he opted to have his pulled out to end the cycle. I…

29
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Today I turn 29! A funny thought this morning: is it what I thought it would look like? No, probably not. But it’s interesting and I can’t wait for what’s next all the while I’m loving the present. Happy Birthday to me!(Wait til ya see my cake!)

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…

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…

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…

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!” …
