Frightened Rabbit - Reward Boutique - Philadelphia
Nothing compared to the intimacy and pure energy that was last night. Reward Boutique in Olde City opened its doors for its closest friends to sit whereever they could squeeze and hear Scott, Grant, Billy, and Andy play. Though the venue was unusual, Frightened Rabbit treated their show at Reward like a sold out stadium. Scott, the lead singer, announced he had no set list and the crowed was...
sizes.
In December, I bought a size 8 pair of pants. On Christmas, my family noted I looked smaller (even over the internet.) Last weekend, I bought a size 6 Petite pair of pants and a size 4 skirt which means I lost 1.5-2 inches.
It’s weird, but slimming down actually scares me. A part of what I always identified myself with, a little chubby, is quickly disappearing. Not that I will ever be...
i’ve been known to love brunch.

me: I didn't know Grey's Anatomy was still on.
friend: Wait, you didn't know there was a character that was a ghost?
me: What!?
friend: Yeah--
me: No, don't tell me. I don't want to use the brain space knowing how one of the characters on Grey's Anatomy became a ghost and still maintains a plot line.
I was debating on cutting off my hair, but per...

I’ve begun work on a top secret project. In the mean time, here is a clue that is really not much of one.

helena at the bar
I wrote this four years ago. It was published in riverrun 2006. It took third. I was studying Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream at the time.
Helena at the Bar
A pathetic creature I am, but I was once a thick, pale stone, stuck six inches into the mud of a river clear as glass and hidden from the eyes of maps. And Demetrius, he waded deep into the beating water letting wet...
19 and Overcast
I can’t stop writing snippets about how cold it is.
Today I have this:
there are five fingers. each is ice.
That’s all.
a previous life
i like to rehash to anyone who will listen about the person who tore me up the most in my previous years and who is the chief driving force of my dating decisions today.
and i know it has been far too long for me to think about the story. think about what we had together and our plans, but a few days ago it was his birthday and i thought about how much he would despise my lifestyle right now. ...
Another Try for Sandwiches
I’m writing a post to let everyone know, I’m giving sandwiches another chance. I usually and a big sandwich hater, but I’ve decided I’ll give them another chance.
Sandwiches, don’t mess this up.
WatchI love puppies. I love Andy Coopy. This video makes the world better. I know Kathy Griffin is psyched about it too!
Slipped and Slide
It is officially time I got serious about my writing. If you know me, ask me what I’m working on. I’ll be seriously embarassed, but talk to me enough and I’ll tell you.
I’m not in a rut. I’m just lazy.
Also, someone just called my phone and it’s the first time I heard the ringtone in weeks. Not because of lack of friends, but because I always have my phone...
Me And Comics
This Finnish Blogger connected the fact that Matty from the comic book DMZ uses a Nikon D40.
I have fallen in love with this comic even more.
I love it.
Happy New Year, You Are My Only Vice.
This is 2009.
Apparently, Tumblr only enjoyed my title, because it canned everthing else. The title is from a Camera Obscura song I’ve been singing all day. In fact, I’m writing this New Year’s Day, yelling about brunch and being stoked I don’t work until 2:15pm. My hands are filthy and I have a huge bruise on my shin which only proves the fact I need to start wearing...
