Who are The Beatles?
I have recently had the opportunity to introduce a friend to The Beatles. No, this “friend” is not actually my 2-year-old niece or anything like that, though I know why you would think that considering the above statement. No, this friend is 26 years old and as of last summer had “heard of” The Beatles…

A little green eyeliner goes a long way
I wrote a blog yesterday in which I mentioned an old friend, Anna Klepczynski. I have wanted to write about her for quite a long time but had not yet found the voice – until now. I remember the first time I felt pretty. It was at my birthday party in the seventh grade. Seventh…

Drama takes a left turn.
Is it time for a sequel already? If you’ve been following my blog, you know that one of my best friends crushed me last week when he ended our friendship. Told me he wanted me out of his life – needed me out of his life – and perhaps one day we would be friends…

Today, the world smiles. And I’m getting there.
Things may not be right with me and my heart right now, but today is good despite it. I started my day eating right – 2009 is a year of renewed health for me. The past couple of months I’ve just been eating whatever I want, and that’s not working too well for that extra…

I ran 4.8 miles yesterday, the longest I’ve run since my hip injury last year. I wanted to send him a text and tell him; I knew he would be proud of me. But I couldn’t. Because he asked me not to. I pulled gum out of my purse and it reminded me of how…

Damage control and new toenail polish
I’m thinking of a quote Heather sent me: “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” – Kurt Vonnegut Today is sad and scary – I feel lost and confused. I am processing a major change in my life.…

Sex talk: Open book or be discreet?
I am a very inquisitive person. If a question pops in my head and I feel like I know you well enough, I will ask it. Sometimes I preface it with “This might be TMI, but …” but truthfully, if I thought it was TMI, I wouldn’t ask. I’m just saying that so you won’t…

Thoughts on a 12-year friendship
I’m trying to think of something – anything to write about to get my mind off of my worry for Shannon today, but that’s just not happening. So instead I will tell you about Shannon. I met Shannon my freshman year in college and we were instant friends. Actually, that’s not true. I met her…

Let’s talk about flirting.
“Please don’t take this the wrong way, but in an extreme friendship not-if-you-were-the-last-girl-on-Earth kind of way, I think you are sort of pretty. Platonically pretty.” Is there a double standard when it comes to how women are allowed to flirt vs. how men are allowed to flirt? I say yes. I think women can get…
