a memorable evening that no one remembers
I turned 28 on Friday yet I still drink like I’m a freshman in college. This means that not only is my tolerance for alcohol embarrassingly low but by the end of the evening I can’t seem to retain important pieces of information. Like my address. Fortunately, I wasn’t the only resident of Black Out […]

things to be grateful for
1. Friends My friends are crazy. They are hilarious. They are the type of people that can start a dance party in the middle of the Catskills with nothing but an ipod and a bottle of whiskey. And they are the reason I write everyday. Every writer has a muse and I have many […]

There’s a gypsy saying that goes “the first person to confess is the first one to lose.” The first time I confessed was the night of my cousin’s wedding. My boyfriend at the time was going to come up to New York and be my date. We were about ten months into the […]

when hipsters attack
There are three kinds of Caucasians that legitimately frighten me: gay republicans, Criss Angel fans, and drunk hipsters.I know, I know there have already been so many blogs and articles devoted to vilifying hipsters, to the point that adding another critique is like beating a dead leper.

how i learned to enjoy physical pain
I had my last session with my trainer yesterday. I’m really going to miss him. Especially his inspiring words, unyielding optimism, and overbearing balls. I think I’ve really learned alot from the training sessions. I was never the type of person that was good at sports–especially organized sports involving catching, hitting, or understanding rules. I […]
