I have a lot of trouble sleeping.I don't know if this fact alone qualifies me as an insomniac, because I'm not sure how severe my troubles are compared to others' troubles, and it isn't like I've ever been diagnosed... but it's a nightly battle and very literally my least favorite part of the day. I… Continue reading A Night in the Life of an Insomniac

Idle Hands
One prominent aspect of my temporary unemployment is the fact that I’m home. Alone. All day. Every day. This is a phenomenon that I have not experienced since I was 15.On one hand, in theory it’s fantastic. I can spend all day in my bathrobe. I don’t have to be anywhere, talk to anyone, I… Continue reading Idle Hands
Back to Reality
(OH, there goes gravity, OH, there goes Rabbit he choked, he’s so mad but he won’t give up that easy, no…)I’d like to believe that my blogging maturity will someday evolve to the point where I can script a simple entry title without it launching an Eminem song in my head. Maybe on that day,… Continue reading Back to Reality
Alternative Resolutions We Should All Have for 2014
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!Ah, the New Year. For me, having just hours ago settled into my new place up North (with no cable or internet yet, and very little furniture to speak of), it meant counting down to midnight on my phone and toasting champagne in my new cardboard-box-filled living room. For most people, it’s… Continue reading Alternative Resolutions We Should All Have for 2014
Why Christmas Felt Different This Year
The phrase “twenty-something” has been introduced into my regular vernacular lately… probably because I see it used all over the place these days. I suppose it was coined as a blanket term to refer to those of us in that pivotal, life-altering age bracket: when we aren’t exactly kids anymore but still wouldn’t quite call… Continue reading Why Christmas Felt Different This Year
Meet me under the mistletoe, 60 years from now.
On the road again...The following two days of our trip were spent in Sedona, AZ, to visit Taylor’s adorable grandparents, Jean & John. I love these two because they are the perfect, epitomic example of grandparents. I mean it, just think of every characteristic you have ever known any grandma or grandpa to have or… Continue reading Meet me under the mistletoe, 60 years from now.
Viva Las Let’s-Never-Do-That-Again.
We started our trip with one night in Las Vegas, as sort-of a spontaneous, last minute addition to the already lengthy itinerary. …Suffice it to say that it was not a profitable decision. If you’ve been to Vegas, or spent any time gambling, it’s a good practice to give yourself a limit at the beginning… Continue reading Viva Las Let’s-Never-Do-That-Again.
Oh, hello there.
Let’s start with introductions. My name is Susie. I am 24 years old, and as I type this I am exactly one week into a sinfully indulgent three-week vacation. (WOO!) This time off is acting as an usher between two different living situations: I just left my six-month home in the San Francisco Bay Area,… Continue reading Oh, hello there.
I can’t write.
I can’t write.The savvy observer might point out that in the very act of that declaration I am, in fact, putting words on paper… and to that clever individual I tip my hat.When I was in high school writing was (with only very slight exaggeration) all I ever did. I carried a notebook around with… Continue reading I can’t write.
