dying leaves are dancing off of the trees

I stopped working a little while before I left Philadelphia, which allowed my remaining days to be filled with more activities and people.

For the first time in months, I had time to cook for myself. I altered some clothing. Packing took a lot of time. Went to look at art with friends. Made bruschetta [...]

you can't stay for long

I’m going back to campus tomorrow. All my friends are returning too, so we’ll pack the last week of summer with last hurrahs and celebrations. (Just like last year.) The following pictures were taken exactly a year ago:

the paper cut that gave you pause

I moved out of Philadelphia today. I have two liminal days in New Jersey before I fly to Ohio on Thursday.

This is what the sunset looks like from my bedroom. The speck below the moon is an airplane.

It looks like my sister left some things behind in the bedroom, such as this [...]

take a bow

Today was my last day in Philadelphia. I’m going back to New Jersey before I fly back to school on Thursday. I mostly sprawled across my bed as my list of errands grew, and also as my time to complete them decreased. Go to the ATM, pick up my dry cleaning, stop by the post [...]

1. i need coffee 2. let’s to listen to lady gaga 3. sometimes feelings are really complicated

like a broken record, i tell you

best friends day

The past four days were spent in Virginia (Williamsburg & Richmond) for Best Friends Day. I’m back now and have been hiding out in my bedroom for the past hour or so.

This weekend, the last hurrah of my summer, was a total shitfest. Now that it’s over I can’t tell if I’m hardly alive [...]

what is that, creeping through the fog of my cataracts

My weekend was pretty much perfect (and it isn’t even over yet). I went to New York City yesterday and spent the afternoon and evening with Amina, whom I haven’t seen since last December. We walked around Central Park and got into the Frick Museum for free & even had a mini private tour; dinner [...]

tattoo darling

Let me share with you one of my favorite things!

My friend Lauren gave me the book Tattoo Darling: The Art of Angelique Houtkamp a couple of months ago, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever received. As its title suggests, it’s a compilation of Houtkamp’s works and a study of her processes. [...]

welcome to this new world, you newborn foreign sons and daughters

I went on a bit of a shopping trip yesterday. When I was seventeen I started to collect MAC Cosmetics, and the hobby sustained for about a year until I sold most of my items. I think I’ve been bitten again! I made a small haul yesterday.

I got the eyeshadows Honey Lust, Trax, [...]

kicking & screaming

when helen left back to pittsburgh in the spring, i kicked and stomped in every puddle the morning of. i am terrible at saying goodbyes, and have not yet made a concerted effort to perform them with grace. i will stick to my temper tantrums, whining and/or stone cold silence and grief, thank you.
