In some senses, I suppose I’m adapting well to my living situation. While on the one hand I really like it, there’s the other hand to consider. The other hand being my roommate. My roommate who, because she’s just so interesting, I’ve diagnosed with a never-before-seen condition:
Bipolar Anal Retentiveness
I can think of no other explanation [...]

As a means of fast and incredible (and fun) transportation, I got a back bike, that is, shortly after moving here (and by ’shortly’, I mean ‘a week’). Of course, LA isn’t know for having the bike-friendliest streets around. Heck, it’s not even all that friendly when you’re driving a car.
Decent bike paths and marked [...]

Good grammar skills do not come with Ph.D.s, I’m finding. I refer to writing here, and the use of run on sentences and inappropriate commas. And the fact that authors of certain textbooks, as well as my esteemed professor for my online class, all seem to constantly need to repeat themselves, that is, they say [...]

I’ve never felt so in touch with my vagina. Eve Ensler and an occasion known as V-Day have opened my eyes up even more into the world of women via a school production of The Vagina Monologues.
Having only read a few of the monologues myself, and seeing a few performed for various theater classes I’ve [...]

I thought people subsisting on only one food was some sort of myth. Namely because any one-fooders were typically actually one-food category-ers. Like “junk food” food people. Or “fast food” people. At least with those types, they’re eating their hamburgers both with cheese AND without.
I went to the dollar store tonight (ahem–the 99-Cent Store) to [...]

Living in LA has a way of making you think you’re losing your mind. On a daily basis, no less. And then it always takes a good slap in the face (from yourself) to realize that everyone else is insane, not you.
Those crazy “pedestrian cross walk buttons” that cause lights in the road to suddenly [...]

In case you ever wondered what would happen if you microwaved a frozen pizza that was actually meant to be oven-baked, allow me to put all such questioning thoughts to rest. But first, a few rules to avoid the fate that befell me this otherwise fine evening.
Pay attention to the box of pizza you place [...]

I don’t think I’ll ever understand some of the culture of this place. Or maybe it’s just that I live with someone who’s extraordinarily anal retentive and obsessive compulsive. Both? At this point, I have no way of knowing.
Part one: As I’ve started to settle in here, I’ve been working really hard to get all [...]

Note to self: for future reference, never again go to the nearby mall on a Friday night, especially if it’s not yet 8 o’clock. No matter how much you’re craving Cold Stone, either exercise some self-control or find another slightly less convenient location. Or even restrict your cravings for ice cream to any day of [...]

It’s the little things I miss the most. The smiles. The laughter. For no other reason than it feels so good. Sitting in silence because nothing needs to be said. Doing things without planning or without cause, just to be present in the moment. To have nothing else matter except that sense of complete calm [...]
