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.)

Things I May Have Said During the Super Bowl

Or, Why You Should Probably Never Watch Sports With Me:

  • I think I’ll root for the Saints because I am one.
  • I don’t like that we’re cheering for different teams because I don’t know when to clap.
  • Bartender, can you PLEASE switch it to the Puppy Bowl?
  • Is it STILL the first quarter?
  • Can I get another beer?
  • Why is this bar full of old dudes and chicks?
  • Why did everyone just gasp like someone got shot?
  • That house made of Bud Light is amazing. We need that.
  • Um. I want to marry that Colts player with the last name Saturday. Being Sara Saturday is MY DREAM.
  • Can I get another beer?
  • Okay. That guy is ALL man.
  • Those wings smell like ass…….but I want some.
  • But, Whitney! I don’t WANT to watch the kitty halftime show when we get home!
  • Why can’t he just keep twirling into the endzone?
  • Let’s make a bet. If the Saints win, you have to get rid of your cat.
  • There is no way anyone who watches “Undercover Boss” will be sober.
  • Don’t. stop. the. clock! Don’t. stop. the. clock!
  • Can I get another beer?
  • Would you like a high five since no one else will give you one?
  • Did that guy just tell me to stop texting and watch the game?
  • Well. Technically, they ALL have the ball.

  • Me: Ugh. I feel like shit today. Why can't I learn to go home when the party is OVER?
  • Audrey: Because you are the party, and therefore it's never over.

Duffy, “Delayed Devotion”

Samantha Bee sheds light on the difficulties of being a man in America.

WF: It’s a difficult time to be a man in America.
SB: In what sense exactly?
WF: Men today are probably where women were in the late 50s. We’re about a half-century behind women in terms of being understood, in terms of having options.
SB: How does this happen, BABYCAKES?

  • Me: So this guy that just emailed me is a comedian. Check him out. [sends link]
  • Whit: He looks fun!!
  • Me: Perhaps. But if I dated him, it would mean that I'm grounds for future MATERIAL!
  • Whit: Yes, but everyone in the world has been grounds for YOUR material.
  • Me: This is true.

The REAL origin of “thatswhatshesaid”

Posted: 7:51 PM
“ Mass hysteria is a terrible force, yet New Yorkers seems always to escape it by some tiny margin: they sit in stalled subways without claustrophobia, they extricate themselves from panic situations by some lucky wisecrack, they meet confusion and congestion with patience and grit—a sort of perpetual muddling through.

“ I see myself represented in the spirit of New York City. [When I got here] it was like this tuning fork just started pulsating. You didn’t have to say please or thank you if you didn’t want to. You could do and say what you wanted. Things were moving really quickly, and work was the church that everyone was praying at. I loved how you could go into a store and someone would scream, ‘What’s your problem?’ And I was just like, This place is amazing! When you go other places, it’s a lonely little world.
