About

I'm a twentysomething
writer and editor
living out my dream
one day
one picture
one avenue
one story
at a time.

This is where I overshare
and constantly write tiny love letters to New York.

(A little more about me here and here.)

OH MY GOODNESS. I need something to dress up, stat!

OH MY GOODNESS. I need something to dress up, stat!

I sit alone on top of my bed with my laptop, dwell on the past, try to imagine the future, and thus completely avoid the present, all while typing.
— Augusten Burroughs, when asked, “In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?” (nymag)

Yankees Win!

And now the avenue on which I live is flooded with crazies! Police sirens, hovering helicopters, chanting, honking, screaming drunk girls and g-rides blasting “Empire State of Mind” are coming from every direction.

But surprisingly, this is not much different than most nights.

This has been another installment of: NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU!

  • Me: did you see everyone hating on my Yankees Facebook status?
  • Anjali: haha yes, it's because they are so easy to hate
  • Me: I LOVE THEIR SMUGNESS.
  • Anjali: I like them because I live in New York.
  • Me: yea, that too.
  • Anjali: and the Phillies look annoying
  • Me: And I like the color navy.
  • Anjali: We have great reasons.
  • Me: We are awesome sports fans.
Yeahhh. The SKR charm failed to influence Ralph and his “policies.”
I’m stuck with this piece of junk until Christmas. Ugh.

  • Brenda: Yeah, I should really start taking more vitamins. I need to take like a bunch of them if I'm going to ever start feeling better.
  • Whitney: Don't take too many. We don't need you walking around drunk off vitamins.
  • Me: ...I don't think you understand how vitamins work.
Cute’s good, but cute only lasts for so long.

Besides the fact that my curls lasted about 3 minutes, my safety-pinned tulle-and-sequin sleeves lasted about 5 more, no one knew what I was, I lost my sash AND it was raining, it ended up being an awesome hot mess of a night.

  • Jack: Small towns are where you see the kindness and goodness and courage of every day Americans. The folks who are teaching our kids, running our prisons, growing our cigarettes. People who are still living by core living American values.
  • Liz Lemon: There are plenty of core American values in New York. ...But there are not restaurants called Fatty Fat Sandwich Ranch. Turn here, TURN HERE!!
