Sentimentality - it's both a blessing, and a curse, when you attach memories to objects. It becomes so difficult to let them go. Or, in some cases, far too easy. I had something mentally and emotionally taxing happen to me in the January of my last year of college. When it happened, I was wearing … Continue reading Sentimental

Before They Were Cool
Most of you have probably heard the term, "I liked ______ before he/she/it/they were cool," at least once. It becomes a point of pride for some folks, when something underrated suddenly explodes in popularity, and they can claim that they have been a fan since the start, or nearly the start. Or, they can lord … Continue reading Before They Were Cool
Acceptance
A new entry for Old Poetry Friday, brought to you by Angsty Allie from 10th grade! No idea why I wrote this or if it was for an assignment or whatever, but enjoy! “I don’t think that way... You MUST be wrong.” Must I? I don’t know for sure. But neither do you. Stop … Continue reading Acceptance
Unusual Skills
You can know someone for decades, and still be surprised when they throw out seemingly random facts about themselves. Obscure little tidbits that don't quite make it into "About Me" sections and convos because there is little opportunity to slide them in organically without sounding like you're bragging. Well, I'm definitely not rife with such … Continue reading Unusual Skills
In Disguise

Recharge
The past couple of weeks have been an odd combination of relaxing and wild - hence the total lack of blog posts last week. But it has also been a much-needed breather. At the end of last month, my best friend and I drove down to Williamsburg, Virginia to visit another friend who moved there … Continue reading Recharge
Reader’s Delight
As a birthday treat to myself, I bought a grab bag from Out of Print. I had previously bought a sweatshirt and some socks from them over Christmas and was super impressed with the quality, so when the grab bags came back in stock I jumped on the opportunity to buy one. And I thought … Continue reading Reader’s Delight
