My boyfriend has been going through a very belated quarterlife crisis. It is perplexing to us all.
Matt: Oh, I forgot to tell you. Andrew and I are going bike riding tomorrow.
Me: WHAT?! I feel like I don’t even know you anymore!
The following evening, between his moanings of an aching buttocks (he pedaled 16 miles!), he [...]

I posted this in December 2003, just a month after a started blogging and right before I would start my first daily newspaper internship in Palm Springs. (At this time, newspapers still had a pulse. Oh, have things changed.) In a way, reading this depresses me because I’ve lost much of that foolish vigor, but [...]

It’s late Sunday night and I’m exhausted. I spent the whole weekend working thinking about doing some work and now I’m weak and drained. I realized that this job is causing me to put many of my plans on hold, including my plan to live a life of leisure. Not that I’m complaining (much). All [...]

I got a haircut tonight and now feel about 200 times better about myself than I did when I last looked in a mirror. (Yes, I really am that vain.) I keep twisting my neck left and right so I can feel my short tresses sway across my neck. Nope, I’m not washing this ‘do [...]

I’m officially an adult now.
So why do I sometimes feel as if my insides are swishing around like I’m 19? My life is in place but I still feel antsy. Like I need to go to New York or Southeast Asia (or wherever people go when they feel this way) RIGHT THIS SECOND. Or [...]

I think it’s time to re-evaluate things. Is this who I am? What am I hungry for? Where do I thrive? What can I give? Who do I want to surround me?
Perhaps when I figure all this out, life will feel fresh again. As of now, it feels more like day-old pizza. Satisfying, but [...]

Quick plug: Need a job? Work at the Apple Store! Any location! My sister Carissa would like everyone to know that they are hiring for various positions. If interested, send your resume to carissawooATgmail.com. She’ll then personally hand it to The Jobster himself. Or something like that.
I told her I probably won’t [...]

… grownup-style (Yes, that’s Clue)

More signs of aging:
- I’m planning my 26th birthday party and don’t know if we can handle more than one activity. It’ll be either dinner or drinks. No pre-partying, then dinner, then clubbing, then after-clubbing snacks, then after-partying, then a forehead-in-pancakes breakfast. That was so three years ago.
- As [...]
