About Me

I'm a BA, soon to be BFA student in Fiction Writing at Columbia College Chicago and currently reside in the western suburbs, hoping desperately to escape with all possible haste. So, obviously, I'm a writer. I will occasionally post bits of work and a draft here and there. I also dabble around in other creative pursuits and love to cook, so I'll sometimes blog a bit of that here.

I enjoy antiques and collecting odd bits and bobs and every apartment I've ever lived in has bemoaned the fact that I collect vintage luggage. And tiny treasures. And letters. I read. I knit. I drink snobby beers, sometimes. I am newly in love with sci-fi television (namely Doctor Who, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica). I love to bicycle and my bicycle is named Lukey, after a folk song brought to my attention by Great Big Sea, my all time favorite band.

I miss my city desperately.

This little corner of webspace most often contains my rantings and ravings, talk of school and family and friends, sometimes a titch of intelligent discourse, but rarely, as this is mainly an outlet.

I talk about sex with both men and women (homophobes need not apply), swear and am sometimes rather vulgar, but my grammar and spelling are usually tip top? I am politically and socially liberal, so, again, haters need not apply. I can respect your political views as long as you respect my rights as a human being and woman. I think that's fair, non? Some talk of anxiety and depression (both of which I am trying to weed out of my life), as well as some general health nonsense. If you can't be nice about all sorts of bodies, you'd best look elsewhere and, also, realize that you're not perfect, babycakes.

That's the short of it. If you do friend me, do please leave a comment and let me know where you found me. :)

Cheers!

• 03:30 'The Great Perhaps' is so good I don't want to finish it. I'm surprised and have a newfound respect for Joe Meno as a writer & educator. #
• 13:10 @norton_fiction Ha, thanks. But unless he plans to make a quick getaway this summer, I'll see him on campus soon. Maybe get him as a prof.:) #
• 13:13 @elizaeliza I was pleasantly surprised actually. Got it because "woo vacation!" Got Nami Mun's too. You can def borrow either when I return. #
• 20:56 The thought of the cultivation of self is suddenly staggeringly appealing. #

• 12:00 Some dude: any idea what time the liquor store opens? I hope it's 11, not 12. You stay classy, Denver. #
• 12:15 Blech, over sweet coffee. Got smart today and put on sun block. So hopefully less burning. Supposed to hit 90 today. And be crazy sunny. :) #

• 03:28 I felt worlds better this afternoon. Foot is the suck but I got off the Vomit Train and didn't feel like death aside from when walking. #
• 03:30 Also, no assholes are outside my door yelling about stupid shit. Tonight is a miracle. Bonne nuit. Or something. I language when boozed? #
• 12:13 @cockneygoth So, the friend I'm visiting is a woot employee and was working last night and didn't tell me. I was sitting like ten feet away. #
• 12:15 I slept straight through the night. It's a miracle! And no assholes shouted! Amaaaaazing!! Slept in late. *snarfleysnuggles* #
• 15:16 Tattered Cover is my new favorite place ever. So much book love. #
• 16:18 Paris on the Platte for coffee. Yummnm!! And carrot cake cheesecake! Best invention ever. #

• 02:08 @elizaeliza I had a pretty nasty landing on a rock. Didn't twist it or anything, though. #
• 11:54 I wish these guys would go away. I want to limp to the bathroom. #
• 12:55 I kind of want to go home. #
• 13:21 I keep trying to think of things to do, but they all seem to avoid walking a lot (ouch) or long bus rides (hork). #
• 16:08 @elizaeliza Really? I'd been thinking about going. Since it doesn't involve moving or mountains (the enemies). #
• 16:11 Starting to feel better. Can walk and haven't thrown up lunch yet. Greg and I are going for ice cream. I love the smell of ice cream. Weird? #
• 18:57 Okay, excruciating pain. #

• 02:58 Higher altitude = lower tolerance. I DANCED at a crazy bar tonight. Now in bed. Flower on my nightstand. I let loose, which I rarely do. #
• 08:43 Dear jobless hostel bums, it's 7:30 on a Saturday morning. Stop fucking shouting. Why are you even awake right now? #
• 08:47 And Denver PD? You can STFU too. And don't fucking try to break my door down. I am not a coked out black guy. I am a hungover traveler. #
• 08:55 Sean, you've preferred food stamps to a paycheck for months. Now is not the time to ask Steve about a job he offered you. Outside my door. #
• 09:55 A hot shower cures all ills. Even if you have to squat to use it and feel like you might fall and break your neck. And barefoot? Shit no. #
• 10:07 My clothes smell like Stella. I don't even like Stella. Last night, man. Also, I need moisturizer. It's dry as fuck here. Lush? Please? #
• 10:59 I had peanut butter chocolate chip cookie for 1st breakfast. It was divine. #
• 12:18 I almost threw up French toast but the diner's bathroom floor was so gross that I got over it. Oh, Denver Diner. #
• 20:42 Omg, nature hike was awesome. Went like 12000 feet up. Whaaaat. #
• 22:06 I've puked three times and I haven't even been here 36 hours yet. Apparently it's the altitude. Nature hates me. #
• 00:27 Is it possible to have a great time and an awful time all at once? Denver is great, but I can't keep anything down. And I fucked up my foot. #
• 00:38 Here's hoping for sleep and not ralphing. #
• 01:21 The TV hardly has to be that loud. #
• 01:39 I can't really put any weight on my foot. This is bad. #

Since I won't have stable and frequent internet access (aside from my phone) for several weeks, I'm going to be twittering/tweeting again. Yes, that's right. I'm going back to twitter. So, tweets will crop up here but you can follow my travely antics at:

sayitsso.

Just finishing up a few things. Picking out books. Burning road trip CDs. I leave in TWELVE HOURS.
