Weekend, What Up!
Jun 4th
When people ask me, “How are you?” my automatic response is “good” … which is a complete lie. Majority of the time I am just “okay.” I don’t want to lie anymore. So next time when someone asks me how I am, I’ll reply with how I really feel, but am I ready to cross this social norm? Like not turning around in elevators after entering, not shaking Dwight Howard’s hand after losing to him in the 2009 Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs or stare a homeless person in the eye. I am just glad the weekend is here so maybe when you ask me this weekend “How are you?” I’ll say “good” and it won’t be a lie because we’ve compiled a list of things to do! More >

Weekend, What Up!
May 13th
I was hoping to win the lottery and never return. Sadly, I am sitting here writing. I wasn’t even close. None of my numbers remotely matched any of the winning numbers. I must be the worst lotto-player in lotto-playing history. So instead of flying on a private jet to Buenos Aires, I’ll be drowning my sorrows at one of these events. Look for me I’ll be the girl with messed up mascara drinking alone. More >
