Ice doom happened. We edged out of the worst. My power went out for about 10 minutes, long enough for me to pack my freezer full of snow and ice and duct tape it shut, since it's not sealing too ...

let the storm rage on

Icedoom is upon us. The exact numbers keep changing, but a few inches to half a foot of snow, and between half an inch and an inch of ice are on deck. It sleeted most of the morning and early af...

let the sky fall

My pride really doesn't want to write about it, let alone say the name. At 8pm, 4 hours before deadline, I dove in at the beginning. At August, 2001. I flipped through, noticing the slow maturat...


There's a conversation going on via Facebook right now, between three friends of mine whose opinions I respect immensely. The professional student is freaking out about the $200k in student debt...

let the sparks fly

I ought to be doing my homework, but I am suddenly desirous of writing. So here I am. Saturday morning started with Zach, my former student worker, coming over to meet Sheppy. I gave him my keys...

keep calling me crazy

My job leaves me with a lot of mixed feelings. Like when they're working on reclassifying me into a promotion, but also saying things like "stop wasting your resources and find a man in town. It'...

diamond eyes

I'm pretty sure I used this title on OD, but it's super pertinent today! It's a really pretty day. Gorgeous. Brilliant blue sky and no rain, for once! And 55 degrees, not 15! I'm in my box fort ...


Love has been on my mind. A lot. Which I guess is understandable, all things considered. I'm not even really sure what to say past that. There are just so many different kinds of love, so many ex...

counting down the minutes

Aaron just left. Stuff happened. I need someone to take me gently by the hand and lead me to whatever store sells big girl pants. He got in Thursday night at about 2am. My dad was long asleep ...

got nothin' on me

It's been a really good Christmas. It definitely compensates for last year, when I came home with presents only to discover that "we're not doing gifts this year," we got hit by a waterspout, and...

fix me

I don't do New Years Resolutions. For one, I can hardly remember them, let alone keep them. But over the last year, starting in January, I've been on a mission to change my body shape. The DEXA ...


Well, it's probably time to give up on OD for good. I haven't been able to update in some time, and it's definitely not worth the hassle of will this save or how long will this take to load? So!...

Allo!

This is me, trying to figure out how to make this thing work. I have spent my entire Internet life dabbling in HTML, and this new system is going to give me fits and make me embrace the WYSIWYG e...


Book Description

13 months of shenanigans. Probably.

Coming up: mud/obstacle run training, bellydancing, rock concerts, Russian language class, job searching, moving to a better city that happens to contain my boyfriend fiancé, an epic family reunion, wedding engagement, wedding planning, and associated hijinks.
