Boyfriend
I’m going out with him tonight. We have spent maybe three nights together this entire month because I’ve been working down here while he’s been up in Northern Alabama at his parents house. I am trying to doll myself up, but every time I put on make-up, I’m reminded of why I never put on make-up.
I look exactly the same, just smudgier in some places.
I don’t believe...

Them Bens
Last night a skinny Ben with beautiful feet came into my room.
Fell in love with me because of all my books. Yay.
We watched 30 Rock.
He gave me some words of wisdom about my relationship that only eighteen year-old boys can provide.
Then he left.
I can’t handle you men-folk.

I am getting used to my hair, but I still think it looks absurd.
I need to get that strawberry out. Does it look really bad?

I Could Have Cried
They didn’t staff any other pet care associates at PetSmart, so I—being the only one in the entire store who could get animals for people—had to close my section alone. When the store was officially closed, I hadn’t even begun closing procedures because I had customers back to back to back, and it takes about two hours to do everything. Plus, we have about eight Guinea Pigs...

Hey
—Just wanted to say hello.
—Last night I drank three beers, but I feel like I had thirty; curse you Two-Hearted Ale!

Ooh, Lawd
I done rurnt mah hurr:
I once tried to dye my hair blond and, because I have natural red in my hair, it turned brassy as all get-out. So I told myself, “Never again.” And now that I’ve been wanting to have blond hair, I’ve been telling myself, “Do it professionally so it won’t turn all crazy-strawberry like before.” Then today something in me told...

I'm at My Parents' House, Part Four
As per the request of this guy for my later teenage years…
Me with my Dad, brother, and other assorted family members when I was fifteen. Almost every day after dinner we would go for a walk around town. We often stopped half way at the hill by city hall. It looks down on the Coosa River:
Here I am the next year during which time I personally feel I was probably at my prettiest and at my...

I'm at My Parents' House, Part Three
When I was a teenager, I dressed pretty weird. My mom, being the great mom that she was, wouldn’t let me go anywhere without first taking a picture of whatever weird ensemble I had put together that day. So here is a series of me mostly walking out the door in my awesome outfits.
Here I am beside the elegant gas heater in my living room. I made that purse because I was so bitchin’.

I'm at My Parents' House, Part Two
Most of my teenage and early college years I was completely preoccupied by the violin. Here’s me at 12:
And at 14:
Here’s me with the group I played with all through high school (Raichu is in this picture, as well as my first boyfriend who was a fat Asian with a lisp):
Here’s me and Patrick. For a while there, he was IT, man. He played percussion in the orchestra I...

I'm at My Parents' House
Which means I get to post the gems I find on my mom’s computer such as this one:
I find it remarkable how little I’ve changed over time. For example, I still wear floppy hats:
I still wear cowboy boots, though now I have a pair in my size:
(I still color from time to time as well. It’s a great stress reliever.)
I still do stupid things with my hair:
And I still...

Roommate, Stop Talking to Me
Going to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in 15 minutes. Since I work for the city, I got a ticket for an early viewing of it!
My roommate won’t stop talking to me. I just want solitude before going out.
Boyfriend went home Saturday and I miss him like the dickens.
Went to work with my bald spots out, which made me sad because they’re horrible now. I think I’m gonna go...

'Tis Original
You know what I like to see on Tumblr? People who don’t think that they are effed up, insane and all dark inside. When I see someone who is aware that his or her life is busy and does not expect to find some kind of sequential narrative in it that makes any sort of sense, I think, “Ooh! A complete being.” Then I click “follow.”
Also, I appreciate people who...

Redefining the Phrase "Off Day"
Since I started working two jobs, I don’t have off days any more. I have always loved working much more than school, but man, will it run your body down. When I come in at night, sometimes having worked a fourteen hour day—and I am on my feet the whole time at both of my jobs—my feet, hips, and back ache and the rest of me is exhausted. And I’m mean. That’s the worst...

Not that I have ever been a particularly avid user of this word, but even so, I just realized that I have been spelling “masturbation” incorrectly my whole life.

This Happened
Yesterday, Kim stopped by on her bike ride to tell me that her friend, who takes portraits at J. C. Penny, was bored and wanted her to come over so she could do a session with her. Needless to say, we went, and took some wonderful holiday photos for the viewing pleasure of our friends. What this means for you is that you finally get to see me in photos that aren’t of the poor-quality webcam...
