• Dreams are built around the word hello

  January 28, 2018

  I'm sure my sixth-grade self didn't imagine a 28-year-old me who was still writing on OD; I'm also sure my 23-year-old me didn't imagine a me who was able to write on OD once again. But after 4+ years of writing on Prosebox, now *that* is what feels like home. What does OD give me…

• Closing Time.

  January 26, 2014

  OD is officially closing. It's been part of my life since I was in middle school. It saw me break up with my first long term boyfriend, deal with eating disordered thoughts, make out with a few ill-advised love interests, get really into piano, meet Ryan, decide on a college, make several life pl...

• Employable

  December 4, 2013

  In my whole life, I have had 3 jobs. The first was a summer camp counselor, where I babysat kids for 18 hours a day. The second and longest-lasting was (and is) teaching piano lessons. The third was accompanying musicals at a theatre. Needless to say, my resume isn't super conducive to me getting...

  How do you really feel about moving away from where you were comfortable?! I wasn't as excited about the move as Ryan was. The closer we got to moving, the more excited I was, but I was always apprehensive about leaving. The first couple months we were here, it was fun; it still felt more…

• Turkeys

  November 28, 2013

  Our first holiday halfway across the country from our families. Ryan worked all day. Sad to see all of the statuses and tweets and photos of people I know spending their days eating turkey and pie with all of their loved ones while I watched youtube videos on the couch by myself. But still: I'm&h...

  In high school this was an annual thing, but I haven't done it since. Miho did, and it got me thinking it was probably time for me to do it again, too. Ask me anything. Things you feel like you should know about me and don't, things I've glossed over and you're curious about, things…

• NoJoMo 9: Holiday Visits

  November 9, 2013

  Mom and Dad are here! They're staying for the whole week. Our plans are very minimal; currently they included almost entirely of food and record stores. Also I bought a new candle today. The whole place smells glorious.

• NoJoMo 7: Pet Squirrel

  November 6, 2013

  We have a squirrel who runs around in our yard all the time. He's hidden several of his winter nuts right outside one of our windows. The first time I saw him all I saw was his tail in our window well and I thought he was a hedgehog, so obviously we named him Sonic.…

• NoJoMo 6: Rearranging

  November 5, 2013

  Last night I got super stir crazy and desperately needed to rearrange all of the furniture in the living room, but Ryan wasn't super into my ideas so instead I just jumped around on the couch for a while. But today I was still super stir crazy, so I vacuumed everything and did all the…
