Yesterday was Star Wars day, which, in all honesty, I didn't even know was a thing until a couple months ago. But apparently, it is, and Anna decided that we were going to celebrate it. My initial reaction? Suuure. I was a little skeptical. Okay, a lot skeptical. I mean, first of all, it's Star [...]

My Life as a Decoration
This is a post for the misunderstood. That's kind of weird sounding, so let me rephrase: This is me, panicking at the last minute because I didn't have anything to write about, and therefore plunging into a deep and philosophical pondering. Scared yet? You should be. To dive right in, I'll start with a quick [...]
Poison-Ivy Photography
Spring has sprung, and all those who witness it are eternally grateful. Except polar bears. But I digress. Anyway, yesterday was such a nice day that I made the fatal mistake of exercising my rusty ---*cough cough* nonexistent---outdoors-man skills. This generally entails stepping one toe outside the door, swatting at the bugs, and hopping back [...]
Moving Chaos
I intended to write this post last week as a Current Events crash course, but for some reason, I just wasn't feeling it. I'm still not feeling it, actually, but it needs to be done, so here it is. Only now it's a Recent Events crash course, because all this happened 1-2 weeks ago. 'All [...]
The Lion’s Call
Guys, it finally happened: I failed. I spent three days writing something I thought was brilliantly clever. I finished, still feeling brilliantly clever. I reread it, expecting to be blown away by how smart and brilliant and clever I was. Before you start judging my arrogance, let me put your mind at rest: It was [...]
Why My Family Should Never Be Movie Characters
I had plans for this blog post. For the first time in my life, I wrote it a week before I was supposed to publish it. I would wait for Thursday and post it like any respectable blogger. Right? Wrong. My dear mother was so impatient to read it that I, being the dutiful daughter [...]
That Time I Didn’t Think God Could Write a Book—Part 2
I told you I wasn't done. Welcome to Part 2 of me trying to cheat God. I seem to do it a lot. If you somehow missed the previous part, here it be: That Time I Didn’t Think God Could Write a Book Here's a quick behind-the-scenes story about that post. I wrote it, sent [...]
That Time I Didn’t Think God Could Write a Book—Part 1
As promised, here is the post I was too lazy to finish last week, which is pretty much the story of my life. Anyway, today, I'm going to share something sensible for a change. Wait, you say, sensible? Do you even know how to do that? Between you and me, no. No I don't. We'll [...]
Art Junk
I have a way with titles. So this week, I did what I told myself I'd never do with this blog: I waited til the day before to write the post. Only a month into this thing, and I'm already acting characteristically like myself. The long and short of it is, I wasn't able to [...]
How I Proved to the Entire Art Class that I am a Dunce
A very professional critic (my sister) told me that my intro for this blog post was awful. That, my dear friends, is sisterly love in a nutshell. But I will grudgingly admit that...hang on. I don't know if I can say this. Okay, never mind. It doesn't matter. You don't need to know. Sometimes Anna's [...]
