just a girl in the world: the revelations of the keepsake box

http://www.justgirlinworld.com/2012/02/revelations-of-keepsake-box.html

The revelations of the keepsake box. As you may recall, I am getting ready to move. (Do you want to come sit on my couch in my apartment? The moving process involves plenty of packing, of course, but since most of my worldly possessions are contained in a 5 by 15 cell on Poplar Avenue - not 201, thankfully - I've turned my attention to the cleaning-out and getting-rid-of portion of our program. Quite aggressively. Trim it, I say.). Some of the things I'd held onto in those boxes, you just would not.

Things have been fairly quiet around here for the past month or so, and it isn't for lack of things to say - it's mostly for lack of people who were allowed to read them at the time. You see, I was in the midst of planning some surprises that all involved people not knowing what you are about to know, finally: I'm moving to New York to work for a magazine. It's with an indie music mag called The Tripwire (thetripwire.com) and I'm starting out this week doing some of their coverage of an annual music ...

It's snowing today in New York. It's been snowing off and on quite a bit for the last week or so, but this snow is supposed to accumulate a few inches by the end of the day. It's certainly coming down fast enough for it. I leave to go home for Christmas on Tuesday, to an undoubtedly less-white Christmas. My next blog will begin a series that I call The Panty Land Diaries. Which will document some of my experiences at that ladies' underwear store that shall go unnamed. Labels: new york life.

just a girl in the world: a very ironic thanksgiving

http://www.justgirlinworld.com/2010/12/very-ironic-thanksgiving.html

A very ironic thanksgiving. Thursday morning I woke up to my second Thanksgiving on English soil, feeling pretty much like I'd felt the last time around: when no one else is talking about turkey and pilgrims and shit, you kind of forget it's anything other than a regular old Thursday. Heidi pull the innards out, screech and dance around the kitchen and call the entire display "moral support.". As we sat around Paul and Heidi's living room stuffing ourselves, we ended up - shocking! I crashed at their pla...

The back to midtown countdown. On Thursday, I dropped the first box of stuff off at my new apartment. It was full of shoes. This morning my mom and I loaded in a few more, and made a trip to my mini-storage to clear out some of the smaller odds and ends before the moving crew (translation: friends bribed by donuts) arrives tomorrow morning. And then, a pause. Except all the presents are really dirty! Whoops. Good thing the dust spray was at the top of the pile in the mini-storage. And the Clorox.

Pressing the shift key. It's a strange thing, the way I feel about this blog. Judging from the date stamp on the last entry, it's been exactly three months today since the most recent published post - a distinction that is necessary since there is a draft full of photos of the FHB and I's trip to Little Rock to see Tom Petty that's been waiting to go live for almost as long. Needless to say, since I stepped out on my own a year ago (yes, a year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The girl in the world.

Last night I went to an old intern haunt with Harry. But I am loving the life that's developing here right now, and I'm excited to see where it's going.

just a girl in the world: reunited, and the jury's still out on how it feels

http://www.justgirlinworld.com/2012/08/reunited-and-jurys-still-out-on-how-it.html

Reunited, and the jury's still out on how it feels. Round about this time exactly 10 years ago, I was entering my senior year at Bartlett High School. I was the editor of the school newspaper and the field commander in the marching band. I was captain of the Wordsmith team and president of the Model United Nations and also high priestess of the over-achievers and Professor Emeritus Nerd of the Century. Or something like that. And I was, at all times, extremely aware of the hierarchy of popularity. Th...

The motherland: the last episode. It's Sunday morning, the beginning of my last full day in England. I wake up with a stomach ache worse than that time I got so drunk I thought it would be prudent to eat condensed vegetable soup straight from the can. I shudder at the very memory. Of course, it's not quite so. Simple, because he's got himself a girlfriend. And went so far as to make reference to a previous night we'd spent in a hotel right before I left London and how another night like that would be fun.
