i was reading, or rather and truthfully, skipping a hell of a lot of shit in my google reader until i hit the latest Post Secret post (and i really didn't want to repeat the word "post" but what were my options here? my vocabulary is shrinking, and it's doing it fast.)

oh look, Father's Day secrets. i knew they would be related to the holiday and i ( Read more... )

bike's in the shop. it's been there for almost a week. i picked the worst time imaginable to get the repair work it needed done. the weather's great so i guess every one and their stupid looking cruisers has put their bikes in for a little tune up. i fucking hate cruisers. saw a lot of mountain bikes getting worked on too. i fucking hate mountain ( Read more... )

i'm 25 now and just when i thought i'd bypass that whole rethinking your life, quarter of a century crisis, it hit me that i'm 25.

every one tells me i'm at a good place. i have a job, can pay my bills, live on my own. mother is beside herself because i do not have kids, a co-worker of mine was surprised that i was only 25 because she's never met ( Read more... )

when i hit the 1000 mark on my twitter account i actually stopped to reflect on my love affair with it. to think i was soooo nonplussed when i started my account, only doing it to learn how to use it so i could manage my job's account. omg i hated it!

as mentioned in my previous post, i'm participating in Apartment Therapy's Spring Cure. week four of the apartment therapy home cure is nearing it's end. this is is the halfway point. four more weeks to go. i've found myself with very little tasks to do each week, so the cure has been relatively easy. i have a natural inclination for organized, ( Read more... )
