“I kept trying to freeze time and press each minute to my palms”
– Rach. This post points out to myself a large part of why I’m so terrified to move to Orange County, California. I’m not sure that I’m an Orange County girl. I’m not sure that I will have those sorts of moments there. I don’t think that I will fit in. But I know that I...
The email I sent last night. This is really...
Hello my dearest dears, FRP and a few others who might be interested, I am sad to inform you that I will be leaving this incredible place and program. I am not, however, sad about why I’m leaving. I have accepted a position as the Editor in Chief of a start up magazine in the OC. I am simultaneously thrilled and terrified about this, which makes me believe that it’s the right decision. I cannot...
3:42 am via text message. Change is in the air.
Adam: Sorry no progress on the mag. Had a huge issue both at [redacted] and with the apartment. All taken care of tomorrow hopefully and total attention on the mag from then on.
Me: That's cool. I'm giving my job a month notice this week so they have time to hire someone new and I've got some more ideas that we can talk about tomorrow.
Adam: Go to bed!
Me: That's where I am. My phone just wakes me up since I'm on call 24/7. I can't wait for that to change.
Two years ago, I was obsessed with Saul Williams....
Just sayin'
If there is any merit to the notion of karma, I am either the most heinous person who has ever existed, or I am due to win the lottery any minute now.

A little help from some friends.
katieschenk: Okay, so what did I learn? I definitely need new jeans. I need to tailor the pants I already own. I think my biggest problem is making these few pieces turn into 15 pieces through mixing and matching. I need to go through my closet and figure out all the combinations of things that will work together. I tend to stick to the same thing and end up having a predictable rotation every two...

me: right-o
I wonder how one gets a job writing those emails?
I think we would be good at it.
Jessica: i'm not sure how one finds work in the spam email field
me: I'm not either. But wouldn't it be fun when someone asks what you do for a living, to tell them that you are the irritation in their box?
Jessica: i would love to tell someone that very thing
Jessica: i'm glad you enjoyed. i thought to myself - who would i like to make breakfast for and who deserves it the most...? you won.
me: !!!!
You've made me the happiest girl.
Good Morning.
The last three mornings, I’ve had a shiny glimmer of warmth to start each day. Saturday night I had my usual unpleasant dreams all night. The kind of dreams that I don’t call nightmares because I don’t wake up in a panic, sweat, or screaming. The kind of dreams that I wake up feeling generally ill, queasy, or uneasy. In the midst of one of these dreams I found myself lying...
“thinking that I complain too much and in the future I will only complain in the...”
– charlene mcbride So brilliant. Also, I would like to backtrack for just a moment and say that sure, I make peanuts for a living, but I’m pretty sure that I work with some of the most fabulous people on the planet.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's paycheck.
SERIOUSLY?! His raise was more than my annual salary! By 10K. Sigh. This is exactly why I sometimes get sick of hearing how “honorable” my job is. Once in a while it would be nice to pay rent and buy groceries in the same month without having a heart attack. Nothing against that guy though. I’m sure he’s very nice. And works very hard to earn every penny of his wages. ...

Andrew: tell me you had a hand in the creation of this website...
me: I wish so much that I could say yes and that it would be the honest answer.
Jessica: i thought you'd enjoy that my mom just called the tone of my fart "cute"
only a mom could think so.

I think I’m in love. No, seriously. I especially love this little bit of her Q&A about The Office Collar: “However, more than dwelling upon this as the only final product, I see this as the first step in a series of objects and explorations that I will undertake, surrounding working attire and the working environment as a hole.” While I’m not one hundred percent sure...
