About Me

Even though Chicago has 6 months of winter and I can't find Chinese take out that is worth a damn, I still love it here. Everyday I get to walk down the street and see the Wrigley Building and the Chicago River. And you haven't lived until you've walked over the LaSalle St. bridge right as a bus is going over. I swear it's just like being on a trampoline. Plus when it is warm outside, Chicago is probably the best city for street fairs.Anyway, I like going to "townie" bars in Forest Park, watching reality TV shows, Revive Vitamin Water, drunk text messages and ordering out Pockets for lunch.I don't like Dave Matthews Band, how my hair smells after I leave the townie bars, how my feet feel after wearing 4 inch heels all night, and remember the stupid text messages I've sent while drunk the night before.

What does all this mean? You are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone. Stressful and frustrating situations can be upsetting to you, but you are generally able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. A desire for tradition does not prevent you from trying new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You like to live for the moment and do what feels good now. Your work tends to be careless and disorganized.

I've got a wicked girl crush on Natalie Portman

Why I'm going to marry Tim Gunn

Ok, sure. There are lots of reasons that marriage between me and Tim Gunn would never work. 1. He's easily old enough to be my father, 2. He lives in New York and 3. He's openly gay. Maybe that...

So you want to buy me a christmas present... well here are some ideas

When I had a blog a couple years ago I did this for my birthday. Most of the things on there were a little out of everyone's price range though. Not that these are affordable, but you could save up fo...

You will be missed

This weekend I lost my great-grandma, or Granny as most of us called her. She quite the amazing woman, just ask anyone in my family. Just the fact that she lived almost 98 years is impressive enough. ...

Twenty-four going on Twenty-two

No longer a rookie in the game of life

I read craigslist like it's my religion and I have no shame with that. It's very rare though that something on there actually makes me think about my life for more than 3 seconds. This is the post tha...
