Dear Guy Who Changed My Oil But Not Before He First Tried To Sweet-Talk His Way Into My Checkbook,
I know that your shameless flirting has so much less (and arguably nothing) to do with me and my outward appearance, as much as it does to do with your desire to somehow add another fifty dollars [...]

Last Sunday I experienced a door-to-door experience which can only be deemed truly disturbing. Actually, I think it was Saturday. Yes, thinking back on it, the day definitely was a Saturday, but I guess my point is, that opening the door only to be greeted by two Jehovah’s Witnesses was ever as disconcerting on this [...]

The fact that often when I’m doing something difficult, or something unpleasant, say for example: walking the quarter mile from class to my car in the frigidity of another Everything Is Frozen Spokane January, I find myself counting. Counting anything. I count the number of trees in my direct vicinity on the way to the [...]

Yesterday I found some spare time in my day to visit my regular daily circulation of sites, among them the NY Times’. There I read the front page coverage of the earthquake and tsunami that literally rocked India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Thailand this past weekend. Sometimes I think I live in a bubble, because [...]

Little cute cuddly Verizon cell phone, why won’t you work the way you are supposed to? Why do you insist on hurtling my text messages, not to their intended recipients, but rather, into the black abyss of nothingness where they play badminton and croquet with their fellow abyss-ridden text messages rather than fulfilling the purpose [...]

Today I’ve had five people heckle me thus far about who I voted for in this presidential election. I anticipated playful dissention from my grandma, and received it joyfully. My sister jokingly called me a “heathen,” while my other roommate just stared at me, and then asked if I was just joking, when after they [...]

Today I took my car back to the dealership from whence it came, for a few hours of quality time with the mechanics there employed. The mission: Replace the brakes and rotors. Again.
Today marked the second time in a month and a half I was able to drive the wonderfully scenic route from Spokane to [...]

No? How about now, after recently ditching my old, “I pride myself on being functionally retarded”, phone?
Good.
So yes, today I finally caved and bought a new phone. A sleekly designed, highly mobile, extremely docile, complete with an ascetic blue cover and flip capability new phone. My original phone, purchased about a year ago, in conjunction [...]

I’m sick. Icky. Infected. Full of unknown, but apparently less than friendly pathogens. I have sufficiently and quite expertly worn myself down to an increasingly frail and now pasty-looking version of a once wholesome me. It would appear that in the past few weeks I have stretched and tested my own physical capacity for health, [...]

Eastern Washington University would apparently like to think themselves mighty sneaky, although from my viewpoint them are seemingly out of practice. After much deliberation on whether or not I would have time to take sign language, a fairly useless (as I only have time for one quarter of it), but nonetheless interesting elective, I came [...]
