I’m Just a Teenage Dirtbag, Baby
May 3, 2009

Ok, so I’m sure that many of you are rolling your eyes and shaking your fists in light of my excessively long posting hiatus. I am ashamed to call myself a blogger and I prostate myself at your feet, begging for forgiveness, ok? Ok.
So, in recent news, I’ve finally gotten my life together: after spending [...]

Nature’s Eye Photography
October 21, 2008

Hey everyone, sorry about all the delays. I promise there’s a few posts in the works, they’ll see the light of day once my computer and camera decide to start working in harmony rather than discord.
I just wanted to drop a few lines to talk about my amazing and talented friend who’s website I just [...]

What? I’m Not Dead?
September 28, 2008

Ok, hold off on the stone throwing and the witch burning; I’m back from the dead. I know there’s no excuse good enough to justify a nearly two month hiatus, but I really was busy people! I’ve just begun my senior year, and let me tell you my new conspiracy theory: last year, the cafeteria [...]

School Supplies and Sweaters; An Ivy League Investigation
August 9, 2008

So it’s finally August, and you know what that means? Its finally time to start back to school shopping! I’m sort of like Tom Hank’s character in You’ve Got Mail when he tells Meg Ryan that he’d like to send her a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils; I don’t think there’s anything better than a [...]

Channel 2 News and Dead Rockstars
July 17, 2008

Sorry I’m so behind and irregular with the postings; I’m actually leaving again tomorrow, so it’ll be at least another 10 days before a new post, so here I am with a farewell update.
Two nights ago I went to see Brett Dennen open up for John Mayer at the PNC Bank Arts Center, which is [...]

Guess Who’s Back, Back Again?
July 12, 2008

I can’t believe I just quoted Eminem. Wow.
Anyway, I’m home! Did you miss me? I had the greatest time these past few weeks; I have so many stories, it’s ridculous. But back to business. Last night, as a welcome home party sort of thing, my friend Nicole (who I have previously mentioned, have I not?) [...]

Inspiration
June 15, 2008

I was recently asked to describe my style without comparing myself to a particular brand or celebrity. This flummoxed my mind and still weighs heavily on me now (my answer at the time was ‘If Lucille Ball and Johnny Rotton/Ramone had a love child at Woodstock”) However, after much pondering, I think I’ve managed to [...]

Epic Scavenger Hunt Royale
June 14, 2008

Really, I am friends with some of the coolest people in the world. For the past two weeks, we have been ignoring finals and project deadlines to work on the piece de resistance of our teenage years: The Epic Scavenger Hunt Royale. This past Thursday various teams met (in the parking lot at Borders, much [...]

Buy Me Something Expensive, Sugardaddy
May 24, 2008

During a birthday gift shopping excursion to the mall yesterday, a friend of mine (henceforth referred to as ‘Nicole’) and I were distracted by the incredible good looks of one Robert Downey Jr. and went to go see Iron Man. All things considered (excepting Gynnie’s unfortunate hair color, the fact that she was named Pepper [...]

Stay in School, Kids
May 15, 2008

So, I know that I’m supposed to be in class right now, but unfortunately I overslept and missed my ride; hence the sabbatical…which I am filling with infomercials, online shopping, and re-runs of Season 3 of Top Chef on Bravo. Is there a better cooking show on TV? I think not. I have a massive crush [...]
