More Honest Than Clever, I Love You

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I’ve almost told him countless times, but have held back. I’ve been wanting to find a way, a poetic way, to say “I love you.” And now that I have, now that the words are out there- floating somewhere between us, it’s not anything like how I thought it would be. Somehow, I can hardly believe, [...]

Twit With the Program

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I’m still uncertain how this whole Twitter thing works, but I thought it was about time I got with the program. If only for the coupons and promo codes, right?

While he hunted down shaving cream, garbage bags, and Zone bars, I wandered into the Christmas aisle and it was….mag-fucking-nificent. Seriously, you people at Walgreen’s- nicely done. Overwrought and sparkly and garish, it was just [...]

Who, What, Where, When, Why Blog?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Much fanciness has been afoot for some time, and now thanks to GDF and the boyfriend (who both not only indulged my ideas but exceeded them), the new Nic Narrates is up and running. To be honest, I never thought I’d see the day. It’s a bit of an odd thing; how something I started [...]
