Greetings! I’m finally back from my week-long trip to New York City (which thankfully ended before Hurricane Sandy showed up), and I have so much to talk about. I originally planned on blogging from my phone while I was in New York, but that obviously didn’t pan out. Instead, I decided to collect my thoughts […]
Because in two days, I’ll be headed your way! The tickets are purchased, my bags are mostly packed, the time off has been approved by my office, and I could not be more excited! When my best friend Lisa moved to New York this past Summer, I was understandably dismayed. But eventually I realized that […]
Last time, I told you I was beginning work on transforming my living quarters into someplace I could be proud of. The bedroom 2.0 Project is officially underway, and it started in what might be the strangest of places: my “closet.” I keep putting that word in quotations for a reason. You see, one of […]
Lately I’ve grown increasingly unsatisfied with my bedroom. I don’t want to move or anything like that, but I’ve finally started to notice the rough edges of my room and its decor. I’m twenty-five years old, and yet parts of my room still look like they belong in a college dorm. Why am I still […]
So I definitely have one of the coolest girlfriends ever. For my birthday last month (a day that – if you recall – had me feeling pretty down), she got me what is easily one of the best gifts ever: A vintage typewriter! I’ve often fantasized about owning an old typewriter: I’m a writer and […]
Saturday brought some grave news to my doorstep: my friend Joe, who has been a part of my life for the last 5 years, died on Friday. He wasn’t sick and he hadn’t been doing something risky or stupid. He just had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His […]
I was wondering whether you’d show up to the party this year. Not sure if I’ve written about this before (oh look! I have!), but every year around my birthday I start to feel down. Much like January 1st inspires introspection and the creation of resolutions, my birthday is always a period of reflection. Unfortunately, […]
Once upon a time, I was challenged to give up Facebook because a girlfriend thought I was addicted to the social network. Personally, I don’t feel like I’ve ever had an unhealthy relationship with the social network, but I have made it no secret that I’ve struggled with a much larger Internet addiction. One need […]
I think it’s no secret that I love living in Sacramento. Compared to life in my tiny hometown, Sacramento is full of exciting people and activities (like Swing dancing, of course). And the location is so convenient! Most of my relatives are within an hour’s distance to the North or South, and places like Tahoe […]
Today I took the first big step to completely renovating my life in 2012, something I wrote about way back in September. If you recall, I said this year was “The Year I Get it Together,” which meant eliminating all my debt, nabbing that amazing job (whatever it may be), and finally start living on […]
