Kick Ass Cooking

Day 26/30 asks me to write about something in my life that I’m kicking ass at, as opposed to what I need to improve upon . I’ve been lazy the past few weeks because of my engagement and having exorbitant amounts of family time. The one area of life I have been kicking ass in is cooking though. Maybe I’m just further transforming into a domestic diva. Being vegan makes it important to cook at home…

A 2016 Query Did anyone else hide from the Internet so they didn't have to read about people's new years resolutions? Am I safe yet? Is it over?

Life Improvements

Day 26/30 asks to write about an area of my life I would like to improve. Coincidentally I’m writing this on New Years Eve. I’ve never been one to make resolutions because I don’t appreciate “NEW YEAR NEW ME” as a motto. Its not a resolution, but I would like to be more consistent. In an earlier post I wrote about how as a Sagittarius I see the duality of my life, and of the opposing adjectives…

The Daily Post’s prompt is about childhood revisited. This may be very weird, but I don’t remember my childhood. There are maybe 5 events that I can recall from before age 9. Sometimes I wonder if I’m an alien/sorceress/princess/most-important-character that was placed among an average family for a better life. Maybe I’m Superman! Or I was kidnapped and I’ve magically been incorporated into everyone’s memories! Just waiting for the movie to start.

Either way, my early adolescence is very prominent in my mind where my childhood is not. So much so that I can remember my old Photobucket account username. I started searching through some of the 387 photos and realized just how much of my life was wasted on stupid activities and ideas. These are just some highlights.

This is just a small compilation of the many, many icons I had on my Myspace page. That’s right, I WANTED people to know that I was a Something Corporate fan. Fourteen year old that loves cookies, corniness, romance, drinking, and being a jerk. Does it get any better?

Oh but it does. I was also incredibly pale with no sense of fashion, and I was taking selfies with cameras that you should not be taking selfies with. As in, pre-digital camera ownership. You’re welcome world.

If anyone is feeling embarrassed about their life, ever, please feel free to come to this post and feel better.

A Quick Unfinished Zombie Blurb

A Quick Unfinished Zombie Blurb

Like most people, the holidays ruined any semblance of discipline I had in my life. There was no blogging, exercising, or generally doing anything that benefits me. In any event, I’m going to pretend like I didn’t miss any days and continue with my 30 day writing challenge ! Day 25/30 asks: “Think of any word. Search it on Google Images. Write something inspired by the 11th image.” Sexy, right?…

Christmas Stuff

Wishing a happy Christmas to everyone, religious and non-religious, and if you don’t like/acknowledge Christmas then hope you had a swell day anyway. I’ve been really busy with last minute Christmas business (as everyone probably has been) and got engaged over the weekend! So my writing has suffered and I may have missed some days of my 30 day writing challenge. Whoops! All for a good cause.…

Hard Learned Lessons

My writing challenge has asked me to write about a lesson I’ve learned the hard way. My wisdom is this: always pee when you have to, or whenever you get the chance. It seems like such obvious advice. Alas, I had to learn to succumb to this rule the hard way. I had taken a 14 hour bus trip in Thailand, followed by about 3 hours of wandering a foreign city with my boyfriend and two random…

A Letter

Day 23/30: Write a letter to someone, anyone I’ve really struggled to think up who to write this to, whether it should be some abstract idea or someone from my past, someone I know now, etc. I chose to write it to nobody. Dear nobody, The general public shies away from you. You don’t exist on social media. You don’t make big deals over minor victories. You don’t call attention to yourself. You…

Three Lessons For My Children

Three Lessons For My Children

Day 21/30 asks what three lessons I want my children to learn from me. This is only slightly awkward being that both my boyfriend and I aren’t interested in procreation. I love kids, but I love having my own time and freedom more. And sleep. I love sleep. Babies are programmed to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure they’re safe, or so I read in some scientific article a few months ago…

The Lost Valley Just throwing this picture of the Lost Valley here because it was one of the most beautiful places I've been to. If anyone ever goes to Scotland, visit Glen Coe and hike to the Lost Valley (but do so in appropriate clothes and check the weather!).

3 Celebrity Crushes

Day 20/30, nearly there! It asks me to post about three of my celebrity crushes. I’m not a big fan of the superficial, but I do appreciate attractive individuals. I make it a point not to learn about their lives because it has no bearing on my life and it seems a waste of time. I don’t know who is dating who or ‘what they’re wearing’. It reminds me of a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: Great minds…

My First Love

Day 19/30 asks me to discuss my first love This is a bit long so here’s the Tl;dr : Met boy in high school. Liked other boy. Other boy didn’t like me. First love and I start dating. Break up. Back together. Twice. Break up for real. Want him back. He’s already taken. Haven’t spoken to him since. Oh George. I was a junior in high school when we met, and he was a freshman. I had already been…

My Zodiac Sign

From my 30 Day Challenge, Day 17 is Post about your Zodiac sign, and whether or not it fits you.  Being that my birthday is December 14th (yesterday), my sign is Sagittarius. Characterized as a centaur with a bow and arrow, most articles I’ve read about Sagittarians suggest a dichotomous personality. Easy going and agreeable, but also seriously interested in the meaning of life. Adventurous and…

Challenge Post Day 16 (And it's my birthday!)

Challenge Post Day 16 (And it’s my birthday!)

Something that you miss There are tons of things that people get nostalgic about, but with the winter weather coming I’m starting to miss living in Bondi Beach all over again.       I lived 5 minutes away from this! I’m so happy to be living in NYC because of the convenience and comfort I have here, but Bondi offered me so much more. The weather was better, the people were more interested in…

Also a Disney movie. Funny, cute, morals, fun music. Basically all Disney movies from the 90’s onward. And Pixar movies. Donnie Darko. It weird and I feel like each time I watch it I gain a new perspective on it and…
