Good Ol' 23
Far enough from the “deadline of 30” and close enough to the youth of the 20’s, from 23, the future looks bright. However much older it sounds than twenty-two, twenty-three, they say, is the best in-between age.
So, when I turned 23 earlier this year, I could feel it. Something was going to happen. Something had to happen. My life, at that point, was somewhat up in the air. I was working at my...

Trains and Directions
I’m on my way back to Claremont for the weekend and the best part of being on a train is the lack of distractions. I have a lot to think about, my future, my passions, stuff like that, but right now, my main concern is whether or not I’ll be able to jump off of this train when I’m stuck in the inside chair, behind two large people whose legs make a human barricade. Am I going to...

Kickette →
Now, if you’re anything like me, you enjoy yourself some good European football… and you also enjoy yourself some good, fit footballers. Kickette, a site I just rediscovered, can keep you in the know, if you like to know who’s dating who, where they go for vacations, and if your favorite footballer is single or not… You can get the scores from ESPN.

It's been a while
So, as Britney Spears eloquently sang, “Let me break the ice.”
I love writing so much that it pains me to look back at the past year and see that I haven’t stretched my creative muscle as much as I should have. Diaries upon diaries sit in my room at my parents’ house, the oldest being a nice 16 years old. In 1993, I was already documenting my thoughts and hopes and mundane...
Happy Face
Once, in high school, a friend and I decided to make a list of things that we couldn’t stand under any circumstances.

Ironically, the girl who helped me with this list ended up adding me to her personal list of things...
