Poem: Home is…

where I can fall asleep looking out and watching those same three familiar red lights flashing not-quite-in-sync. It’s where it smells like bacon (always). It’s where I fall asleep on Kelly’s bed because I couldn’t make it the ten more feet to my own. It’s where I can’t get away...

If I feel so inclined, I might have two obsession posts today… especially given that I didn’t do one yesterday. Things just got a little hectic toward the end of day at work (I had to call every store in Manhattan on a rabid search for pom poms. It was...

My Win-Win-Win Deals

I wake up to about a billion emails a day. And by a billion, I mean a dozen. But whatever. Though I delete most of my morning emails, I don’t deny their awesomeness. I receive tons of discount emails and when they don’t make me feel poor (60% off of...

Today’s Obsession: Pola(d)roid

So… more photography nerdy-ness, I know. But who doesn’t love a Polaroid camera, right? I remember when I first used them for Girl Scout crafts in first grade. They’re just as awesome now as they were then. The only problem is that they cost an arm and a leg. But...

Today’s Obsession: iPhone

So there’s this boy named Manny. And Manny and I are really good friends. Occasionally, he pisses me off because he won’t shut up (he’s kind of an attention whore), but we get along relatively well and spend ridiculous amounts of time together. He knows what to say to wake...

On the Subject of Love…

My dad tells this story… When he first found out that my mom was pregnant with me, he was scared. He loved my older brother so much and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to love me the same way. But when I came out in all my perfect...
