My new career as a therapist/ relationship...
I like the recurring phenomena that is happening to me, where creepy old manboys break up with their girlfriends and they find my Facebook, phone number, and high school AIM handle and decide to whine at me and invite me places. Because apparently I love listening to people talk about their problems whilst suggesting I am good alternative to the bitch that just dumped them.
Just kidding, I...

I pre-stalked my local Target to make sure I know...
As a reward for my diligence, I found a leftover Missoni coat for $6.
It’s like the universe knows.

I don't have a prehistoric disease, my classes are...
Let’s catch up, shall we?
I don’t have tuberculosis. I had bronchitis and some cute little lung infection. Maybe I’m better now.
My classes are fabulous. I’m taking Death and Disease, a creative writing workshop, and a Journalism workshop. They’re all over the place, but combined, it’s all me.
Marie Claire. I don’t even know what to say. I’m...

Overreacting: I probably have tuberculosis.
I keep coughing up blood and I’m going to the doctor in a bit but I like overreacting to my ailments.
On a related note, I had my first class yesterday. It’s called Death and Disease, which is always a chipper subject but is even more good fun when you’re hacking up colorful specimens. My professor practically wanted to keep some, she was so fascinated.

Things I learned about myself.
Apparently, no, I am not above so called “cutting a bitch” in order to score a delicious Zac Posen handbag at 65% off.
So we're home from Puerto Rico.
Accentuating how much Jersey sucks right now.

Make your Christmas cards spread more joy! →
Well, it’s that time of year again. My birthday, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s all happened within two weeks now there are so many greeting cards on my desk that I can’t even see the counter. Pretty soon, the thank you cards are going to start rolling in. Every year, around this time, I gather a bunch of my old cards and some of my family’s and send them off to the St. Jude’s Hospital...

Well, I survived my first semester of grad school.
Though if I manage to complete this 18 page paper on a single paragraph of Nabokov, someone needs to nominate me for sainthood because I will have performed a miracle.
Good thing Nina Garcia doesn't hire the beauty...
Cause that tragic outfit aside, I got the job!

So you like winning free beauty products? →
You should definitely check out this page on Glitter Magazine’s website. They’re always giving away awesome beauty products, books, clothes, and various other goodies. All you have to do is register on the site and leave a nice comment on the contest page (usually telling them why you love the product/brand they’re giving away.) It’s a little bit more work than just typing...

GUYS I'M FAMOUS.
Okay, okay. I know. Another blog of me thinking I’m famous. But for real this time! I would never believe it if someone else told me. Let me explain:
So this hip girl sits next to me on the bus today. A total improvement over the creepy old men, farting old ladies, and plague-ridden sneezers that usually frequent my side. She’s looking at something on her iPad and she’s chuckling aloud for a...

You should mock me.
I’m about to go to my interview. I was checking myself out, and realized that I forgot to put on deodorant. I seriously only do this once a year or so, but always when I know I’m about to be judged on my beauty and general cleanliness competence. Since this IS the beauty closet and all, I sprayed myself all over with Taylor Swift’s new perfume (because that crap can smother anything.) I forgot...

I snagged an interview at Marie Claire for Monday
So, this is happening.
Why I am a really awesome person.
C: Hey did you see the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?
K: You mean when I was walking around in my underwear this morning?
C: ...
Last night's commute traffic.
President Obama’s in town? Oh, well none of my deliveries are getting made on time. I’ll just go home early.
Justin Bieber’s in town? Oh, hell. I guess I’ll just walk home.

Make that penciled. I wrote a piece of creative fiction that I’m the most proud of.
I wrote the thing with a purple colored pencil.
Oh God, it sounds even worse now that I’m writing it. I’m sorry. It’s probably total garbage and I’m just delirious because I had to down a few Red Bulls to make my family tolerable.

Today feels like my first day off in six years.
I’ve decided that I work too hard. I need to slack off more. I’m trying to relax, but also going through the registrar to pick out classes for the Spring. Because I was supposed to do that two weeks ago.
Also, my blogs are becoming nothing but a laundry list of lackluster highlights. I’m never going to get Internet Famous this way.
I may have quoted Dr. Seuss in a discussion...

The things that happen.
This morning, I was walking to my bus stop minding my own business. (Isn’t this how all my stories start?) Then I hear an old lady yelling “MURRAY! MURRAY! STOP! GET BACK HERE! MURRAYYYYY!!!” As my name isn’t Murray, I kept walking. But no good story can allude me. A dog had escaped and we was barreling down toward the main road. I stopped him in his tracks by throwing my bag at him, cornering...

I said if I never read another book again, I’d be fine? This is not the case. I would not be fine. If I never read a piece of literary theory again? I would be so happy.
Being crazy isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Louie talks more than I do. He just doesn’t have my extensive, flowering vocabulary. Besides waking me up with a GOOOOOOD MORNINN’ every morning, he rambles on HELLO?! HELLOOOO? HELLO LOUIEEEE. Today he shrieked I LOVE YOUUU, so I might be winning him over.
Looking at the course list for next semester. By December 14, I’m halfway through my Master’s in terms of credits....
