When we moved from New Mexico to Pennsylvania in August of 2010, my entire wardrobe fit in one suitcase and one carry-on— this included two large hats (toppy and floppy) PLUS all my linens. Impressed? I sure was. That bite-size wardrobe expanded in the following months, mostly with what Imogen calls “it’ll do [...] 
Today, Autumn wrote about The Conundrum of Body Hair. I’m chiming in. I recently went about three months without shaving my underarms, two and a half months without shaving my legs. From October through the New Year, I grew increasingly fuzzy. The results looked something like this: I say “something like this” [...] 
Once upon a time, I was a cute li’l baby:
As was my boyfriend, Ian:
There is no moral to this story. Sometimes a person feels like baby-gazing. [...] 
For weeks, I was strangely unable to comment on any and all WordPress blogs. This bled most of the fun out of blogging; I’m not content with a pulpit, I want conversation. Reading great work and not being able to leave a supportive note was surprisingly irritating. After much noodling and experimentation, I appear to [...] 
When I was a teenager, I kept not only a daily diary but a journal-of-randomness called The Book of Lists. It contained, among other things, the Nifty Person Qualification Test (a ridiculously biased trivia game) and lists of my favorite names (Guybrush Threepwood, for one), celebrity encounters (I had none), and products to endorse if [...]

A few days ago, I saw the most beautiful scene; two friends, who clearly hadn’t seen each other in a very long time, were reunited. She was startled [...]
(At the end of a long day, it’s nice to throw off your clothes, drop your scythe, and lounge on a mountaintop alter with your peacock. Image source.) The very best thing about blogging is getting to know fantastic people. On November 11, 2006, I posted the following words to [...] 
(Source of these delightful images) Back in November, I started doing something I’ve meant to do for a long, long time. Changing my underwear. No, that’s ridiculous; the underwear has to want to change. What I REALLY started: self-defense classes. Specifically, a combination of Krav Maga and [...] |
