Carrie (a close friend from high school) came to visit me this week. We hadn’t seen each other in ages and it could have been completely awkward, but it wasn’t. It was easy. It was like we hadn’t skipped a beat, as if our 12th grade English class had wrapped up weeks ago instead of [...]

a slice o’ life on bayham street
I just watched the new(ish) Pride and Prejudice again. Whenever Kiera Knightley wants to convey emotion, any kind of emotion, she does this thing with her nose — or rather, the strips of flesh along either side of her nose — where she like, flattens it. Kind of like what happens if you’re sucking in [...]

ten days in…
…to the new year, to my latest new beginning; to everyone’s latest new beginning, I suppose.
Very little has changed. So far.
I was lying on my couch late last night, staring up at the ceiling, buried in a mountain of cushions, my mind wandering. Gradually, I realized I was making a repetitive, high-pitched noise that might [...]

holiday epiphany 2006
Christmas has somehow come and gone already — a flurry of last-minute gravy cooking, wine drinking, ribbon untying, and Twin Peaks marathoning.
We’ve only got four days until The New Year is upon us.
Remember how, when you were little, the three short months of summer vacation would just go on forever? Friendships could be made, solidified, [...]

have a cheeky christmas
Sometimes, my ‘peeps’ and I like to try and pretend we are grown-ups. We’ll sit around the kitchen table, the soothing tones of BBC4 filling the background as we leaf through newspapers, pretending to be cultured and discussing current events. True to form, though, it never really seems to take very long for things [...]

disco inferno 2006
Today was Rory’s birthday.
Somehow, all of us managed to pull ourselves together and coordinate our movements enough to converge at the same location at roughly the same time — quite a feat considering that between us, we had to overcome both agoraphobia and chronic lateness. The next six hours saw us getting shitfaced at the [...]

ode to claire
Having read my one-paragraph summaries of Marina, Leslie, and Andrew a couple posts ago, the light of my life/bane of my existence known to the rest of humanity as Claire Kim has demanded a write-up of her own.
Claire is insidious. She is one of the most hilarious people I have ever known, but she hides [...]

ohsothankful
It has been a strange month. That’s my excuse for the delinquency in updating.
Strangeness, in and of itself, is not that unusual in my world. This particular November, however, has been fraught with even more than the usual amount of ridiculous over-thinking and planning and outright panicking. Big Life Questions have been asked, questions like [...]

basking in the glow
This conversation definitely just happened in my room:
J: Yeah…just basking in the glow.
K: I wish I had a glow. A strong one.
J: Like the sun?
K: No, just one strong enough for a lizard.
J: What? What do you mean ‘a lizard’?
K: You know, how lizards bask in the sun. I want my
glow to be strong enough [...]

I love my friends.
These are a few excerpts from some recent conversations.
2: What happened to Thumbelina, anyway?
1: I think she had to sleep with a frog for a while. Or possibly a toad.
2: Oh yeah. That was rough.
1: And wasn’t there like, a [...]
