I have mentioned it before, but I was a pretty big "weeb" back in the day. And honestly, I still am - but it was a much greater obsession in my teens. I collected manga for a long time, and managed to complete many series, mostly of the shoujo genre - which are manga aimed … Continue reading Letting Go

Impractical
I know my last post was a bit of a downer. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to post about something a bit happier to follow-up. While I've been wallowing in the doldrums of 2020, there have been a few glimmers of light peeking through the black clouds. And four of … Continue reading Impractical
Worst
2020 has been the worst year of my life. 28 years in, and 2020 broke me. It broke me down, chewed me up, spit me out, then stomped all over me. Maybe it's a quarter life crisis. Maybe the whole quarantine lifestyle got to me. Maybe the state of the world wore me out. Maybe … Continue reading Worst
The Scarlet Letter
... is one of my least favorite books. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate its literary significance and the importance of the messages and themes expressed in Hawthorne's famous novel. But - and I say this as someone who loves classic literature - it's a downright slog to read. I'm glad that I read … Continue reading The Scarlet Letter
Aunt Allie
I can't believe I haven't talked about this on my blog yet (I am a little behind) but I'm going to be an aunt! I technically already am - my sister has a stepson - but she is now pregnant with a little boy and is due in October. It is also well-known in my … Continue reading Aunt Allie
Deep Forest
Instead of doing a "current tunes" post, I thought I'd take a minute to talk about one song in particular, and that song is Fukai Mori (translation: Deep Forest) by Japanese band Do As Infinity. Some folks may know this song as the 2nd ending theme for the anime Inuyasha, which is how I, as … Continue reading Deep Forest
Homebody
I am, by my own admission, a homebody. Going out really isn't my "thing." Sure, I like to go out to dinner or partake in a social event or two as much as the next person, so I'm not hermit-level, but 6/7 days in the week if I'm not at work, I'm probably at home. … Continue reading Homebody
AF
So, my real name isn't Allie Frost. My real name is not a huge secret or anything, so I don't particularly care if folks know it, but my actual initials are still AF. And I sign everything with my initials. Documents, emails, etc. I do have very poor, distinctive penmanship though, so forgery would be … Continue reading AF
Try
I think it's a safe bet to say that most folks have heard the saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again." I must admit, I am someone who has been known to try and then give up at the first whiff of an undesirable outcome. Contributing factors often include fear of … Continue reading Try
