Growing up, I usually had my head in the clouds, most definitely in a book, and I didn’t pay much attention to where I was going… which is what made following the crowd so appealing: the hard work was already taken care of. However, I have always had instinctual awareness that I wasn’t going to [...]

So, there are some cool things about dating someone who’s first name is basically similar to Zack Morris. When you talk to your bestest friends who live 1200 miles away or scattered somewhere else across the country and tell them about this great guy who they probably won’t meet unless things end up super serious [...]

1. 500 days of summer
GO SEE IT!!!! Seriously. Like right now. Go!
I had been waiting and listening to the soundtrack on the website for WEEKS. I watched the trailer every day, I cheered every time the trailer came on TV, and I’m sure the boy was all “What the hell have I gotten myself into? [...]

He literally came out of nowhere. I had no time for it really. This one was a disappointment and crashed and burned very quickly, which actually was preferable to any awkward motions of dating to be polite that I cannot endure. I thought it was better that way because by the beginning of June, I had [...]

on a DATE. Friday.
Which, is perfect because I’m getting sick and/or it’s allergies. I’m willing my glands to stay shrunk to prevent any wicked double chin action.

In the meantime, I’ll be trying to [...]

Flirting is the most fun thing ever. Flirting by banter, even better.
Most exciting, is that I’m realllly good at it so I just get excited, never nervous. Apparently I’m a flirt, according to my friends, because they see flirting when I see it as just a discussion.
Whatever it is, it’s awesome. Austin better mind themselves, [...]

Another Austin Sunset from Pennypacker Bridge – photo credit
The week before last I hit a wall. My breaking point, if you will. After almost exactly 4 months in a new city in a new state (which feels like the other side of the world), in a new job in a new environment and going from [...]

I have had a pretty tough week. It’s knocked me into some kind of adrenaline-induced and resulting crash funk.
At work, the hardest part of the semester for me is over. I spent 11 hour days this week supporting and organizing different panels for our students. My panel? Pretty much almost a complete disaster. I was [...]
