I was just watching (okay, kind of still am watching) a horribly girly movie on TV (when I already own it, yes I know, that's pretty dumb, but at least the commercials give me time to do other things...like post on my "blog"!)  Due to this movie, I have decided that I will never wear dress clothes that will hinder me in fighting crime/saving ( Read more... )

There are people that come alive in front of an audience.  They thrive on that attention, and on their own clever mastery of conversation or manipulation of the social situation.  Is it a crime that I don't?  I don't like to be thrown into group interaction unless I know what I'm going into.  God, that sounds so controlling; "if I can't be in ( Read more... )

I had the coolest experience the other night in my rental car in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn in Ft. Worth, Texas.  To preface this, I went out for dinner at the Spiral Bakery (where, incidentally, my wrist tattoo is carved into the cement outside - not by me - which pretty much makes it the place I feel like I most belong right now), by ( Read more... )

This is me at a Panera in Murfreesboro, TN, frantically trying to figure out how to get the bottle of JD that I bought for a friend and got autographed by the Master Distiller (there can only be one) down to Florida, where said friend is. Did you know that it's illegal to ship alcohol? Even if you wrap it up really pretty! I think I can put it ( Read more... )

So. It's almost been a year since I graduated, and got this fantastic job. I suppose I'll have to do some sort of retrospective at some point, but I feel that is better left for a time when I am drinking some hot tea in the evening and it's snowing outside. Yes, my sense of the dramatic never fails ( Read more... )

Sucker.
