You Are Weird, but That’s Why We Love You.
I would like to personally thank Felicia Day for her memoir, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost). I know her from her internet show, The Guild, but my mom, and most everyone else, know her as Charlie from Supernatural. I’ve always loved her because she outwardly owns how I feel on the inside – Read more

At the Beach with the Written World
Dear Beach, Unfortunately, we need to temporarily break up. Fall is here, and our summer of slacktitude, although brief, will forever be on my mind when the leaves drown my grass, and I get diabetes from drinking too many Pumpking Spiced Lattes.

Will Travel for Good Food and Free Books
Despite my state’s super high taxes and lousy roads, we have the golden opportunity to live a book lover’s dream. Some genius decided to combine the love of being a fat kid and the love of reading FREE books. To be fair, most big chain book stores have cafes in their book stores, so Read more

Sloppy Signatures
At one point in my life I had a flawless signature. In middle school, I dreamt of being Mrs. Faith Yu. It was fluid and beautiful. I obviously missed out on the opportunity to have a perfect signature by not marrying my crush… That also means I’ve never really had a legal flawless signature. Read more
