With the dawn of the new year, I’ve been thinking a bit about goals. You know, those things that keep you from drowning in your memory foam mattress as you play Round No. 173527 of Scrabulous. I, personally, have been wondering where all of mine went. So I made a little goal shipment chart to [...]

As it is now only four days before Christmas, I figure I should write some sort of holiday post. (It’s obligatory, right? A cookie receipe, a photo of some furry critter in a Santa hat — anything!) But to be honest, it hasn’t really felt like Christmas this year. That is because to me, the [...]

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 [...]

This month, Glamour magazine tells me that I can run for office. Yesssss! The advice is to start now and start small: “Volunteer for a local campaign, or write about politics on your blog.” Gee, how convenient.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about politics. Well, almost nothing. I majored in political science (yeah, don’t ask), but [...]

“What is more (and I can hardly find words to tell you how important I think this), it is just the people who are ready to submit to the loss of the thrill and settle down to the sober interest, who are then most likely to meet new thrills in some quite different direction. The [...]

Ever since I graduated college four years ago (holy crapoly!), I’ve noticed that while I’ve long shoved my textbooks into storage (except for “Conception To Birth” — there are some quality diagrams in there, I tell ya), almost all of my friends have continued their studies. This has become even more apparent now that everyone [...]
