NYE
Monday, December 28, 2009
I just want to comment on how annoying it is to be a woman on New Year's. Let's not even talk about the horrors of trying to find someone to spend the evening with, whether it's a significant other or a girlfriend, but what about trying to figure out what to wear?! And then, once you've found something to wear, I at least worry about what I want my makeup too look like! I feel like maybe the whole...
More Snow Pics!
Saturday, December 19, 2009
Apparently random dude from across the street decided to start trying to clear the sidewalks in front of my apartment!I unexpectedly found myself in snow up to my knees! I can't wait for the snowman building...My roomie - she's from Miami and has never seen THIS much snow...
Snow Day!!!
Saturday, December 19, 2009
I've decided that even though the snow has COMPLETELY inconvenienced my life and put a kibosh on the plans that I had for this weekend, I'm still going to be happy!!! There's just something about seeing all that frozen water falling from the sky that makes me happy. It probably has something to do with how whenever it snowed in NC we got off from school, but who cares? I'm getting a kick looking outside...
Uselessness in Action (or would that be inaction...?)
Friday, December 18, 2009
The other weekend the completely ridiculous people that live upstairs had a party. Yeah, that's right, the same people who persist in vacuuming at 6:30am decided that they should have a party just to see if they could push my roommate and I over the edge. The only funny thing about this is that they left us a gift! A 'USB Massag Ball'. By any other name, the worst vibrator ever created. It only has...
An Ode to Humanism
Thursday, December 3, 2009
Ode to Housewives - http://cornellsun.com/node/11677Disclaimer - First- I am a spiritual agnostic, but I have no problems with organized religion. Like any organization it has its positives and its negatives and I write this note from that view. Two - In my opinion a woman's sexual expression is up to her as long as she takes the necessary measures to protect herself and her partner. Three - I do...
Stress and Overwhelmed

And here it goes, the realm of the drama queen - if you don't want to listen to the semi-emo depressing rants of someone who at the moment hates the world, please stop reading now.Be Warned Of A General Lack Of Coherency From This Point On~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I HATE EMAIL AND I HATE MY JOB AND RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT I HATE MY LIFE. Yes I used all caps purposefully,...

Right this second
Monday, November 16, 2009
I don't want anything. A car, responsibilities, a job - nothing. I think I'd rather just live alone as a hermit to die in a little cabin surrounded by nothing more than books. Yes that's a lot. But right this second? I mean it....
Awkward Moment for beecreative
Thursday, November 12, 2009
My most awkward moment took place in 6th grade. You know - middleschool? The land of cruel girls and thoughtlessly inconsiderate boys? Not a good time, let me tell you.Anyway, the story starts with a boy - as usual. This guy (whose name I don't even remember now) was my big crush of the moment. Big blue eyes, dark hair, he was like my little example of what I wanted to marry when I grew up. Of course,...
For Remembrance

Thank you to every man and woman who risks their life for our freedom. At home or abroad, whether you're seeing action now or did 20 years ago - Thank you....
Genes Load the Gun
Thursday, October 29, 2009 • Brodhead, Discussion, Duke, Dzau, Farmer, Forum, Global, Health, Thoughts
I think it's interesting the kind of discussion that can come about in regards to global health. Not just when we talk about what's happening in the United States, but including the entire global community and their stance on an individual's health. Last night I went to a Duke sponsored discussion on global health that included two of the leading names in the field - Dr. Victor Dzau and Dr. Paul Farmer....
I think family is probably the easiest and hardest word in the English language - in any language really, but I can only speak from my own perspective.My mother died on October 9, 2009. Died. Born January 14, 1954 she lived a life of extreme hardship towards the latter half of her life. She was born in Maine, grew up in the New York-Brooklyn area and in her late 20's met my father. She eventually...
Music Box
Sunday, October 11, 2009
I'm sitting with my mother's music box.It's not big, barely fitting in the palm of my hand,but I'm sitting with my mother's music box.It plays the song her father sang to her andI remember buying it for her, knowing-knowingthat she would cry when she heard it.And now I cry when I hear it.Winding it up and listening to it play,hiccuping as I hiccup...
The Ballad of Jon and Kate
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
I don't understand why people are confused or surprised about the lower ratings 'Jon & Kate Plus Eight' is getting. Let's be real people, there are two main reasons (even if people don't want to admit them):1) Struggling, happy people are entertaining while struggling, unhappy people are not.2) No one wants to watch the systematic destruction of these kids' childhood.To go back to #1, let's take...
I hate ComCast
Monday, October 5, 2009
and I want to punch them in their unfortunately proverbial nuts. #1 Customer Service Satisfaction my ass.Sorry - I know it's random, but it had to be said. 50min conversations over my lunch hour for almost a week straight are completely unnecessary and result in great unhappiness on all sides - because unfortunately, at this point, even innocent employees are feeling my wrath....
They Say Control
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
They say that you can't take it with you,that the memories last a lifetime. But what if that thing you can't take is the only thing that takes you?That anchors you in a world beyond your control?They say you shouldn't shop when you're depressed,that it only leads to needless spending, to debt.But what if that piece of clothing,that spare, material thing,is the only thing you feel like you control?Control...
