Five Years

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Premonitions of Entropy

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

I’ve found myself doing a lot of thinking lately about relationships and commitment and happiness. In particular, I’ve been wondering if it’s possible for me to have all three at once. And the more I think about it, the more I begin to wonder if my questioning whether happiness and commitment can go hand-in-hand is [...]

Dodging the Engagement Ring Bullet

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I found out the other day from the mutual friend who introduced us that North Shore, the guy I dated for a few months last summer, is engaged. To the girl he dated mere weeks after me.

Toolbag Wednesday #21: Angsty Pre-Birthday Tears

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Yeah, yesterday was kind of a stupid bad day. The kind when nothing seems to work right, when everything is just…off. It began with the rain actually raining up under my umbrella while I stood waiting fifteen minutes for my bus, only to be splashed by a rabid cab on my walk from said bus [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #20: Recession-Be-Damned Brides

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Wedding season is once again upon us and lucky me, I’m in the thick of it. No, I’m not a bridesmaid again. And no, I don’t have a series of weddings to attend this year, though there are one or two on the horizon. I’m in a calligraphy class. Platinum Weddings edition. I promise you, [...]
