Last night, I was absolutely craving a new experience. I had plans to go to a party with BFE and Joe, but circumstances worked against us and we decided to go the Tin Hat instead. It was, hands down, the slowest night I’ve ever seen at the Hat, so when I noticed a cute boy […]

My mom attended the funeral of her best, childhood friend yesterday. Back in Seattle after, we were on our way to dinner with BFE and I was scanning the radio for something I could listen to that didn’t make me want to run other people over in mom’s SUV. I found a song that reminded […]

I spent the weekend in a hippie retreat center (centre?) on the Sunshine Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I ate organic food, spent time practicing the 5 Tibetan Rites, received more massages in one day than I have in my previous twenty-nine years, and came home blissed out and ready to throw my arms […]

It’s my last day at my soon-to-be-former job and I leave for Vancouver for the weekend tonight. You might say I’m a little frazzled. I won’t have a new post up until Monday. But I promise that when I do post again, I’ll be doing so from a place of such relaxation, calm, and stressfree […]

I gave up drinking coffee about ten months ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed it. No, needed it. Every once in a while, I’ll let myself get a decaf drip and load it up with half and half and Splenda and pretend I’m still a functioning member of this city. After all, […]

I love warm weather. I really do. I love lounging around in my apartment in a tank top and shorts, clothes I would never wear in public. I love the excuse to do nothing but eat popsicles and watch TV. I love that I get a little bitchy when it gets to be 80 degrees. […]

Between the Kings of Leon show, the new Harry Potter book, a heavy but ultimately great encounter with an ex-boyfriend, and the fact that it’s so hot in my apartment, all I can convince myself to do is drink milkshakes and watch TV, I’m a little emotional. So it’s not really all that surprising that […]

As I close in on my last few days at this job, I’m realizing the things I will lose when I leave it. Like my email. I’ve been here for a little over two years. They’ve been a pretty eventful and though I’m not great at keeping a journal, I am good at keeping my […]

There are crushes, and then there is Bryan Berard. The NHL and its players union have agreed, in principal, on an agreement that will almost assuredly bring hockey back next season. The boys could start returning to camp in September. Living in Seattle, I don’t follow hockey all that closely, but after the two years […]

A few months ago, I was in an airport newstand with my now ex-boyfriend. It was about the time the Brad and Angelina vacation photos came out and the images of them were on the covers of magazines all around us. The ex said, “I’d leave Jennifer Aniston for Angelina, too.” I said, “Oh yeah, […]
