A little while back, I wrote about auras, their colors, and how I’d ran across more than one person who’d commented on mine. It happened again…has it become common practice to tell someone that they have a great aura? Maybe this is the new compliment of the 21st century. When I was on my first date with Interested Reader, we wrapped up the end of the night at The Great Nabob with some of his... Read more

Dear Winter, I’m not going to mince words; I’ve never really liked you. Your frigidness really irks me. I also don’t like your dark and dreary attitude every night I get off work, and I especially find it hard to do the things I like to do in your presence, ie: sunbathing, boating, rollerblading and other outdoor activities. I much prefer your counterparts, Summer, Spring and Fall. But, I’m trying... Read more

I am still spinning from my date on Saturday. I can’t quite act all squishy and excited on my dating blog because I know he’s reading (considering that’s how he contacted me), so I’ll share the details here. For those of you not up-to-speed, I received an email from an interested reader who had spotted my profile on The Stranger’s Lovelab, discovered I wrote for Metroblogging Seattle, then was...

If life has its ups and downs, then today is definitely an up. I’m incredibly tired and hung over, but for some reason, I woke up smiling. Perhaps it’s because all the riff raff has died down a little bit. Or perhaps it’s because I… …Bought a fantastic new pair of jeans yesterday that make my butt look great…Had a really great time out in the city last night and reconnected with some old high...

At volunteering on Monday, I sat at a table with a group of junior high girls who I had met the previous week. Two of them were working on self-portraits for an art class, and so I helped them with different drawing and tracing techniques while I created a bookmark for myself out of markers and construction paper. (I knew this graphic design minor would pay off someday.) That pesky Baby Bash biography girl... Read more

I feel pretty today. I gave myself a manicure and pedicure last night in a pretty coral pink. I put a sexy, flouncy black pencil skirt on this morning, a silky flower top and my favorite tall black Guess boots. To top it off, I added my favorite butterfly earrings and the best berry shade of lip-gloss that I own. I needed to feel pretty—personal relationships and friendships are melting to the ground...

*I wrote this blog approximately two years ago, and it was posted on my MySpace page. I finally decided it was time to delete all the old posts. But, this one was just too good to get rid of. So, here it is again, almost exactly two years later, unedited. (Even though I feel my writing has evolved and progressed since then.) Still same ole 20-Something. Still love marshmallows! Now that I’m 23, almost... Read more
