… about a person by their books. Quinn, for example, has stacks and stacks of history anthologies and classic literature mingling with his full Harry Potter collection. Dion has a lot of Austrian Economics and political texts. My freshman year roommate didn’t have any.

I’ve been feeling really guilty about not blogging substantially lately, so I thought I would take your through my personal library, at least what I have with my at college. It was really difficult to decide which books I wanted to keep with me year-round, because if you know me at all you know that I have a bookcase at home that is double-stacked and two other shelves in my closet, also double-stacked. And they aren’t for looks- I really do read most of them more than once, depending on my mood. So the decision to take only a couple to school with me was a harrowing one, but a challenge I rose to nonetheless. Continue reading “You Can Tell A Lot…” →

…because I’m filming a birthday “day in the life” video tomorrow with FOOTAGE from today. Maybe I’ll post a quickie iPhone video later, just to tide you over (because I now how you’ve been waiting for a new video with bated breath, especially after I skipped last week), but just know, THERE WILL BE A NEW VIDEO TOMORROW! And it will be GREAT! OK! GOODBYE!

Cue apology about not posting on Friday and excuse about speech/being on the road for over 5 hours. Whatever. Moving on. I am sick. Or at least I am getting sick. My throat feels all funny and my nose is running and now I’m pissed because I do not want to be sick. I have a boyfriend and a full class schedule and a poetry slam to host.

Speaking of poetry, today Matt and I stood like idiots in the UC with a hastily made iPad document reading “push button for poetry” and then read poems to various students when they “pushed” the button. It actually went really well; we performed about six total poems and informed tons of people about our slam tonight. Matt got a girl’s number, I called my RA a gay lumberjack, Matt’s voice rang throughout the entire building, and a dude called my poem “incredible.” Continue reading “Blech.” →

Aaaaaand cue the “d’awwwwws”

I love how even after I decide I’m only going to be blogging on Fridays I still don’t update on time. [insert post title here]

I ran out of steam revising my zombie short story, Brains, and decided to switch to blogging before realizing that I don’t actually have anything to blog about. I guess I could talk about that time Quinn spent nine hours in my dorm but the only parts of the conversation I remember were about how I would totally sacrifice him in a zombie apocalypse, how we both have terrible circulation in our hands, and how much we like pancakes. That doesn’t sound like a very interesting post. Continue reading “It’s like I don’t even want to succeed” →

I know, I didn’t post a video on Sunday OR a blog yesterday. Fail. FAIL. I think I’m going to start just posting blogs on Friday, not Monday AND Friday. That might be more manageable. Anyways, I was looking around the web archive of my website and found some amusing things. So today I wanted to take a walk through websites past and show you how far this website has truly come.

My new years resolution (that I came up with after New Years) about blogging more regularly has ALREADY FAILED. Congratulations, me. Wow. But in my defense, and I actually have one I swear, I’ve been at this internship for almost exactly a week and I’m working basically from 7am-9:30pm every single day, no exceptions. Well, today is an exception because it’s Saturday and the middle of the conference and Becci and I drove a group of people to Canon Beach for a few hours. We are currently holed up in a cute little coffee shop called Bella Espresso doing… stuff. I dunno what Becci is doing actually but I’m working on my novel and, now, blogging.

This is the shortest video I’ve made in months. You’re welcome.
