[Originally posted on July 29, 2012. This post was very popular thanks to the amazing group of creatives known collectively as OK Go. They were kind enough to tweet and Facebook this to their fans, and they completely made my day. Okay, they made my month. I credit a lot of good in my life […]

The Reach Out Project
[Originally posted on May 5, 2013] Death does strange things to a person. My father passed away right before the 4th of July in 2009. We were never close, but we didn’t have a strained relationship either. Years prior, I realized what our relationship was, and I was fine with that. Yet his death changed […]

The Depression-Anxiety Club
Welcome to the Depression-Anxiety Club. Here we celebrate the cycle of self-defeating behavior exhibited by all of our members. I know Depression-Anxiety sounds like an oxymoron, but these two problems actually go hand-in-hand. It’s kind of like Professor Xavier and Magneto are having a chess match in your head, except it’s far less awesome. Here […]
The Queens of the In Crowd

Tales of an Almost Runaway
I was very young when I first wanted to run away. When I was two or three, my mom bought me a black raspberry ice cream cone at Friendly’s while she chatted with one of her friends for lunch. The ice cream was delicious and the prettiest color of purple I had seen. I joyfully […]
The Boob Tube
College? I was so kicking ass. 3.8 my first semester and I procured a good-looking boyfriend – not bad for someone who didn’t have a date to Senior prom, eh? I killed it in my non-performance music classes. I was solid in my Gen Ed. Classes. Yeah, I was a rock star. When I was […]
A Bucket List for 2012
When I was 20 years old, I sat down and created a list called “The Things I Want to Do Before I Die.” Many years later, someone called this sort of thing a “bucket list.” It is a two-page list of everything I wanted to accomplish and experience, and every place I wanted to go. […]
