I’m constantly in awe of the immaturity levels displayed by many. Sadly, that often includes my own.
It started as I drove out of work this afternoon. I was waiting to turn right, and a car in the parallel road was making a left turn onto my road. So, I turned right, knowing the car waiting [...]

My eighteenth October has finally arrived, as well as my first semester in college, and I am welcoming both with open arms. Summer has been long and hard for me, and I can say that I am ready for a much needed change in season. Over here in Los Angeles the change in seasons is [...]

Well, I have been in Los Angeles for nearly four months now and have yet to see one drop of rain. By the looks of the angry clouds gathering over the hill across the road from my apartment, I’d say that’s all about to change. Having been raised in England, where the average number of [...]

I fell down a ladder today. Rather, I slid, holding on tightly and forcing my feet to keep contact with the steps as they bumped their way down step by step. I landed on my feet, with only minor scrapes on my arm.
I have once again managed to survive the plight of my own clumsiness, receiving [...]

I’ve realized that I enjoy chaos, but only if I’m not the one responsible for controlling it.
I work a live animal show, so it is common for things to go wrong — birds fly off, animals don’t do behaviors as they’re expected to, etc. Sometimes, the people are the cause of the chaos, like forgetting [...]

Today, I got a free massage at work from a professional masseuse! It was wonderful, and helped to relieve some of the tension in my shoulders and neck.
However, I had a moment when I saw the sign-up sheet (”Massage Sign-Up”) where I wondered if I had read it correctly. Massages at work? Or did it [...]

I think I’ll be the one and only blogger in the world not giving my opinion on the $700 billion bail out rejection. This is because I haven’t quite decided what to make of it yet. When I do, I’ll throw in my meaningless opinion too, because it’s what bloggers are supposed to do.
Instead, I’m [...]

For me, writing has always been a form of expression, an outlet for feelings of sadness, or excitement, or anxiety, or anger. Even when I was young, I used writing as a type of therapy, pouring my thoughts and feelings out on the page.
The strange thing was that I never really kept a journal. Instead, [...]

I love Sundays, though they always make me a bit sad. I’m considering a career in politics, and my first act will transform Sunday into the first 48-hour day. We can skip Thursday to make up for it. Thursday is always a rough day in my mind – far enough into the week for me [...]

I finished Twilight. The writing actually got better towards the end, or perhaps I noticed its failings less thanks to an action-packed plot in the final third of the novel. I think it might actually make a much better film than it did a novel. A film can capture the highly visual story, and cut out [...]
