It's been so long, I don't even know where to start. Part of me is even timid about typing these first few words, because I imagine you all out there with pitchforks and torches - ready to take to the streets and call for my head. Because how dare I just disappear for months on… Continue reading Don’t call it a comeback

Throwback Thursday: The Nutshell Version Turns 1!
GUESS. WHAT. After the next Hunger Games movie comes out, they're going to start releasing prequels so the ADVENTURE ISN'T OVER YET. (In unrelated news: I have the literary and cinematic maturity of a 13-year-old girl.) That's not actually what I was gonna say, though. Guess what else! That's right - this week marks my one-year… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The Nutshell Version Turns 1!
Okay fine let’s talk about Tinder.
I'll be honest, you guys. I debated for a long time whether I should write this post. because (a) My family, friends, and coworkers read my blog... and I'm not sure how eager they are to hear of my online dating exploits, and (b) "Online dating exploits" would be one thing, Tinder is another. Up… Continue reading Okay fine let’s talk about Tinder.
Wherefore art thou, Bearded Ryan?
To the really solid, upstanding individual who broke into my car this weekend: Hey, you. Good old you. How ya feelin? Is your arm sore, from that rock you hurled through my car window?

I wouldn't generally categorize myself as a hypochondriac - but I'll be honest, when you put that much chronological space between trips to the doctor's office, you start to get a little panicky. Every… Continue reading What it feels like when your doctor calls you fat

It'll be a really exciting automotive year, no doubt about it. Also, though... at 25, I will officially be (if I haven't been already) in my "mid 20s." I will have… Continue reading Birthday tomorrow, quarterlife crisis today.

How Not to Propose to Me
One of the cool things about blogging is that I'm rarely at a loss for post ideas. (...I said rarely, not never.) This is partially because many ideas stem from real-life experiences and conversations... and during these conversations, if I don't immediately recognize it as an opportunity for a blog post, someone else will point it out for… Continue reading How Not to Propose to Me
