I am a strange dichotomy. Or, to quote someone pretentious and with a beard: “I am vast, I contain multitudes.” (Walt Whitman, if you didn’t know.) That is to say, I think I am two people.I know what you’re thinking, and I promise I’m not going all crazy-Sibyll-I-need-meds-now! girl. Or girls… It’s just that I [...]

An entry that is mostly all-caps because I’m THAT MAD!
It was an outrage.
There is no other word for it. The anger that I felt was so intense I almost threw something. I’ve never yelled at an employee before, but last night took the Oreo Blizzard ice-cream cake, if you will.
Post-Baccalaureate we went to Dairy Queen because, like a good sibling I sat [...]

Dining Hall chicken is as real as it’s gettin’
Last night was my little brother’s Baccalaureate ceremony, which is like the more sentimental, slightly funny, with a touch of religion ceremony, as opposed to Graduation, which is tonight. More on my emotional suffering later.
One thing I have dreaded about G’s graduation is not that he is growing up and leaving home, although there [...]

EMOtional baggage
After a night out with the girls, talk turned to relationships, as it inevitably does. After scoping out boys, whom I’m sure we scared off with our air of collegiate worldliness and unattainability, and eating ice-cream, we began talking about our relationships, past and present, and I had to wonder: what do we [...]

Memoirs of a (formerly) angsty teen girl
You could not pay me to go back to high school. I mean it. No amount of money in the world is worth the awkward, angsty, crying nights of those four years. I know that some people claim their high school years were “the best of their life!” but I was praying [...]

The sexy tollbooth
I’m ashamed of myself, really.I mean, it’s completely normal to go to class and think a guy is cute, or go to the grocery store and make eyes at someone over the oranges (maybe), or even check someone out while at the mall. After all, what is college but an experiment in creative flirtation? But [...]

Gluttony in the worst way
I realized that this blog is sometimes all about what I eat, which I’m cool with, but I don’t know if people really want to read about that. But when you eat like I do, it’s hard not to want to talk about it because a) it just tasted so good, I want to [...]

That’s MS. Carrie Bradshaw, to you
It’s official. I am a real writer. I have a real column. In a real newspaper. A real column, in a real newspaper, that is read by more than 12,000 people each day. Wow.
If you are a reader of this blog, then THANK YOU, first of all, for reading. All of the positive feedback I’ve [...]

No, YOU back that ass up
It has recently been drawn to my attention that I have an ass. You’d think this wouldn’t come as a surprise, but for someone who spends a lot of time dealing with the largesse of other body parts, the knowledge that I have a double-wide trailing behind me ALL THE TIME has escaped me [...]

For in Italy, she discovered the most priceless of all posessions…
I think the universe is trying to tell me something. And that something, is that I need to go back to Italy.I have been having dreams lately where I’m just strolling down a nondescript street, alone, when I see a door to my left. I walk up the stairs, go through the door, and voila! [...]
