It's a beautiful day today.

I woke up this morning, looked out my window, and saw sunshine, blue skies, and big puffy clouds floating over the city. Spring, in general, makes me really happy. Escaping the grays of winter to find flowers is a great moment for me- beautiful white and… Read full post »

My friend Ivy's mom has a tee shirt with this image on it. It's the only brush with death I have, and I'm okay with that.

So after my election LiveBlog (which I had a lot of fun doing! I never knew this "LiveBlog" stuff could be so awesome), I have decided that I will LiveBlog more. And what is a better time for a LiveBlog than the Super Bowl! No matter that I know very little… Read full post »

A while back Hyblaean asked me if I would be willing to make her a fimo clay necklace of my avatar, the Rainbow Lady. I responded I would love to, so without further ado:

The final product. Sorry the picture isn't great, but it's the best my camera… Read full post »

So I am watching the inauguration from the safety of Sam's common room on the campus of Columbia University in New York City.  In case you didn't know (which you probably didn't, because he refuses to talk about it, much to our dismay), Obama is a Columbia graduate, Class of '83. … Read full post »

Well, it's more like sofa-ridden. I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I'm recovering, aka reallyreallyreally bored. After trolling around for a little while on Open Salon (particularly on Tequila and Donut's Blog, which is part of the inspiration for this), I have decided to write one sentence m… Read full post »

I have always known that I was not destined for culinary greatness. Actually, I'm not even destined for culinary mediocrity. Many of my attempts in the kitchen are disasters, like the time I microwaved the butter with the wrapper still on (the cookbook said "1 stick butter- softened"! And who knew… Read full post »

Well, that might not be true, but it won't be anytime soon.

Two summers ago, my family decided to go on a cruise to Alaska, via Seattle. We have extended family that lives in Seattle, and we thought it would be nice to take a nice cruise and then see the… Read full post »

For around six months during high school, I worked at a bakery/deli. I will never work food service again, god willing. It's funny, it wasn't the people or the place itself that I hated, because I didn't. I like the people, some I am still friends with, and occasionally I'll go… Read full post »

 I'm not entirely sure why this looks so blurry, but that's okay.

This is my OS Avatar, the full version of it. It's a little paper lady I made. I call her simply, "Rainbow Lady!" I love this picture, and I don't have Rainbow Lady anymore (even in my… Read full post »

I have to start by saying- today has been surreal.

 I've been watching CNN since I got back to New York tonight. Before that, I was on a train, receiving text and phone updates from my friends. When it was announced that Senator Barack Obama is the next President Elect of… Read full post »

So my dad and I were talking as we sat in the car today, driving around and running errands. I recounted to him this story:

I recently bought a new purse. It's ENORMOUS. So large, in fact, that Sam is dumbfounded by it. At some point, to reassure him, I informed… Read full post »

Let me start by saying that I have dyed my hair for more than a year now. When I came to college, I had just broken up with my high school sweetheart, moved 200 miles away from home, and I was ready for a change.  So I dyed my hair purple!… Read full post »

I'll admit, I joined Open Salon for the purpose of reading, commenting, and rating other people's blogs. 

 That said, I think  a blog with no posts is just sad.  Not pathetic sad, just depressing sad. To avoid making a sad face every time I see my own page, I shall brave… Read full post »
