I’m not scared to move to New York. I’m just a little confused. Compared to anywhere else I have lived, New York is breathtakingly, mind-numbingly massive. It’s like watching a newborn child for a few hours compared to interacting with Shaq. The newborn sleeps peacefully, blissfully, until it’s time to be fed; and then, you […]
I have always really liked listening to DJs on the radio. The ones who talk much more than they play music and have obnoxious laughs that bubble through the speakers and who are generally disliked by their listening audiences. I was listening to one such afternoon program on Tuesday. Between songs or, more likely, commercials, […]
My boyfriend once told me that he’d break up with me if I ever became a vegetarian. This was not a carnivorous admission of a meat-free phobia, nor was it a revealing statement that opened the windows into the mind of a strange diet-tyrant. It was actually an indicator of my embarrassingly exuberant love of […]
In my persistent and very dedicated search for the perfect bite of chocolate, I’ve found only one constant: the brownie. Nearly every brownie holds a delicious bite of chocolate and sugar that is craved in the dead of winter when you can put hot chocolate sauce on top or when pulled, sun-warmed, from a picnic […]
When I was 15, my dad gave me my first Hemingway book saying, “He made me realize writing doesn’t need to be fancy. It can be simple and be good.” Like my father, I fell in love with Hemingway’s journalistic style of writing. Without auxiliary language, Hemingway constructed a clean novel. The simplicity of his […]
In the spring of 1997, Comet Hale-Bopp brightened Northern Hemisphere skies. I was seven years old, in the 2nd grade, and fascinated. It was the celestial sketch that kids my age drew in paintings during art class: a glowing orb in oranges and yellows with a long tail streaking gracefully behind. It did not fit […]
I have always hated the saying, “There are two things in life you can rely on: death and taxes.” What kind of life is that if those are the only two things that you can count on? I have so many other certainties. I can wake up on any spring morning and know before I […]
I am incredibly homesick. I wish I could say I reached this realization in a respectable, rational way, but that would be a lie. I actually recognized it while reading The Hunger Games series. I’m not especially proud of it. This is a typical example of how I tend to freely indulge my erratic emotions. […]
When I was driving around New Orleans on Mardi Gras night, searching desperately for an open grocery store that sold raw oysters, I could have been compared to a movie superhero. Not even a superhero, though. Just calling me the hero of a romantic comedy would be sufficient. I was on a rescue mission, striving […]
When I first got to college, three of the first people I met had all grown up together and sung in school choirs for years. Their voices were fabulous. One of the very first nights we all hung out, we were playing music while getting ready. Amidst the rather loud rendition of a Dixie Chicks […]
