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.)

Ask me a question here!

Sarah McLachlan, “Black and White”

Unravel me…

Sometimes you think everything
is wrapped inside a diamond ring
Love just needs a witness and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience and a less sporadic pace
And I’m learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes…
— Pink, “Crystal Ball”
Just spent my lunch break (briefly) basking in the glorious Central Park sun, daydreaming about the possibilities of summer.

Pictures from the 11-days-too-early St. Patty’s Day Parade/festivities in Hoboken, New Jersey on Saturday.

Yes, I actually went to Jersey, and yes, I knew we were in for a shitshow.

The day involved (the obvious): amazing weather, green beer, house parties, beer pong, flip cup, green food, crazy people, men in kilts, green vomit and no watching of the parade whatsoever.

It was quite a day until Audrey and I decided to get the hell out  — an attempt that failed miserably. Let’s just say we did not get home by way of public transportation or taxi as planned, but by way of random nice lady in a Honda.

Shitshow indeed.

  • Me: god, what a hot mess adventure that was
  • Audrey: well, at least we have a good story!
  • Me: that's all I really ask for in life
New York, New York. It’s my foundation, it’s the center of my growth, it’s the muse for my art.

  • Amber: are you meeting up with him tonight?
  • Me: no, I can't, but we have tentative plans for Sunday.
  • Amber: why tentative?
  • Me: well, in case I'm dreadfully miserable after the daydrinking shitshow on Saturday
  • Me: and if I am, then we have alternative Wednesday plans
  • Amber: haha only you would need a hangover contingency plan

Feelings on the Third Roommate

(My half-assed second paper for my NYU humor writing class)

I have no shame in revealing my serious disinterest in all-things feline. If Noah had just hung a sign on the ark that read: NO CATS ALLOWED (like the one on my heart), it might have saved us (cat haters) a lot of trouble.

Everything about the lifestyle and mere existence of cats is truly insufferable – they are the worst things to happen to the animal world since flying cockroaches and naked mole rats. In fact, as I type this, there is a furry asshole by the name of Emma attempting to pry open my bedroom doors with its 9-inch Freddy Krueger claws.

Emma is the bitch of a cat I live with, and I think she was brought into my life as God’s way of punishing me for clearly being so awesome. It belongs to my roommate, although I’m sure if she could speak, she would probably tell you she belongs to no one.
