Let me get this straight: my rent and every single one of my bills is increasing now that I’ve been in my apartment for a year…but my salary is staying the same?
It’s official: being an adult blows.

Two years ago, I was in London and by this time I had already finished off an entire bottle of wine, two pad see ew dinners, and three shots of cheap vodka in my room and was watching Love Story and yelling “BUT SHE’S GONNA DIE! IT’S SO SAD!” and crying hysterically while contemplating whether or not I should throw the empty wine bottle out of my window just to hear it...

Hey, world. Today I’m having a quarter-life crisis. After speaking with two friends who work at very different non-profits and both love their jobs and coworkers and bosses and job perks, it brought into great relief how very much I don’t love my job. I’ve taken a long look at my job and I’ve reflected on my internships and I’ve perused other jobs with the same title...
Gained two pounds back. I weighed yesterday and today at the same time, same result: 188lbs. It’s so frustrating, but I know I’ve been lazy, so what do I expect? There’s nothing telling my body to burn more, so all it does is store. Someone on Loseit said something useful about weight loss: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Honestly, I feel thinner even if I haven’t lost...

New blog. →
I’m shaming myself into losing weight and cursing a lot along the way. Rants, ravings, and recipes to come. Today, the longest post this blog will ever see. Tomorrow, learn how to be mildly hungry all the time now that I’m not going to be constantly shoving food in my face.
I want to be a freelance copy editor.
I’ve wanted this since the first time I sat down at the editing table in Journalism with Brendan Price and watched him completely destroy my six-page review of Bowling for Columbine - and when I say destroy, I mean he slid words around, nixed punctuation, slashed entire paragraphs, and made it infinitely better. He was a brutal genius and it blew my...

2011 was full of highs and lows, but I admit I was crazy lucky in so many ways. I’ve got a full-time job in my intended field, I scored a low-rent studio in a good area conveniently located steps from my boyfriend’s apartment, I now have two lovely cats (on my way to cat lady?), I’ve traveled quite a bit, I’ve figured out who my friends are, and money’s been fairly...
I thought I would be sad this Christmas due to the loss of an individual who was my most Christmasy friend, but I think perhaps those days are over. 2012 promises new people and new goals and a happier outlook. Old friend, if you do happen to stalk this place occasionally, I’m done. Goodbye. I hope your girlfriend never finds out you cheated on her with her worst enemy. WOMP WOMP.
Also I...

When I went to Paris alone a few years back, I met a guy at my hostel and had an entire relationship (from the honeymoon phase to the brutal breakup) in the span of 2.5 days. It was one of the weirdest interactions I’ve had in my life. He was one of the most damaged and damaging people I’ve ever encountered, and somewhere out there he is undoubtedly still being a miserable prick to...
Plans for 2012:
1. Be more politically active/aware
2. Volunteer at 826NYC, as mentioned
3. Dismiss those who no longer wish to be a part of my life & be more proactive about seeing the people who matter
4. Learn how to alter and eventually sew my own clothing
5. Figure out a craft I’m particularly good at & revisit the idea of an Etsy store
6. Spend less, save more
7. More traveling
8. Go to...
826NYC →
I just submitted my application to volunteer here. I am SO glad I remembered this place. 826NYC is a non-profit dedicated to keeping the love of writing (and learning in general) alive in kids. They do tutoring, workshops, field trips - the works. And it was founded by one of my favorite authors ever, Dave Eggers, who was way more excited about my NYU friend when I met him a few years ago, but...
Wizarding World of Harry Potter was ah-mazing, and the vacation in general was pretty awesome. Jorge and I sort of winged it and managed to get in a lot of family time and a lot of driving and eating. There were some bad times, like when I suddenly couldn’t see the highway because of foggy rain and freaked out or when Jorge got a ticket from the MTA. But overall, good times. It’s weird...

Long story short, I extended an olive branch only to be shit upon today. I’ve apparently been “deleted” from the life of someone I cared about deeply for two years because I vented publicly in the immediate aftermath of my moving out debacle. I have not a single regret about doing this - I won’t ever apologize for expressing myself. I’m a writer. It’s what I do....
Last night, saw the ex roommate/ex best friend/non-romantic ex at a party of a mutual friend. His girlfriend jumped when I appeared on the roof, probably safe in the assumption I wasn’t coming since I was (in true Columbia fashion) an hour and a half late. Her interactions are so obtuse sometimes. I only knew them by their silhouettes and my boyfriend grabbing my hand since my glasses were...

OWS.
I’m avidly following the livestream of OWS and watching out my office window, since things are exploding today. It’s nice that I can work and get paid while people without jobs kind of protest on my behalf. I’m way more on-board with them after the dismantling of Zuccotti Park, but there’s one thing they do that drives me absolutely crazy: they yell at cops about how...
