to new beginnings and never looking back...

please, i just dont want to hurt anymore.

i weighed 90lbs when i left the states and maintained that weight even with all the cheese i consumed in Paris. and it wasn't such a problem when i returned to the continent. I ate pasta and snacked on many slices of pizza practically every day in New York and saw little to no difference. sure, i sometimes slept with a little bump in my tum, but it ( Read more... )

I need to be reminded of my love for Paris-once the fabled place of the american lost.

Well, a little about the town I'll be living in, it is wonderfully small, Medieval, home to about 10,000 Bretons, and located roughtly ( Read more... )

i've never needed a handsome paying job quite as I do now. moving to another country while trying to take care of all the logistics of finishing school and all these extra expenses is really starting to stress me out. it shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg or in my case dignity to live in the bay. (that is to say, i'm considering lending myself to ( Read more... )
