My Essentials

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:48:34 GMT

When it comes to fashion, I am neither on the edge of haute couture, nor am I a second-hand queen. I fall somewhere in the middle with my classic and simply sophisticated style. Most often I can be seen wearing my favorite pair of jeans, a t-shirt from Old Navy and an off-brand cardi I got from the local thrift store for a dollar. And of course my oh-so-comfortable Sperry Topsiders. In cool weat... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Something to Believe In

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:03:57 GMT

Long have I scorned religion in my daily life, and God. Whether purposeful or not, I have shunned an essential aspect of my history as a human, a westerner, and a woman. Perhaps...perhaps I do need something to believe in. Perhaps myself is not enough. Yet...I do not wish to take part in the watered-down Christian ways of this modern world I have been placed in. I yearn to live a life of passio... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Michigan Avenue, 5:30

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:49:29 GMT

The wind is cold and tears at my tangling hair as I walk down Michigan Avenue. It is drizzling slightly, and my $20 Armani knockoff heels click snazzily through puddles that reflect the smoke-grey sky. My long coat whips unbuttoned around my legs; my hands in the pockets are the only thing keeping it from getting pulled off and sailing down the sidewalk like a camel caught in a tornado. I see tho... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

The Power of Precipitation

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:37:49 GMT

Today started out going pretty well. Nothing really great about it, but nothing terribly bad either. I was really chill all day, for some reason; not very talkative, just kind of hangin' out and going through the day. Then in Choir last period, a few things irritated me, and after 3.00 I trekked back to main campus, printed something to give to Mrs. Kline, went over to Legion, waited for awhile, ...

Sex and Power

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:15:15 GMT

It is unsurprising that the relationship between sex and power involves immense passion and emotion. The conflict has been manifested throughout history, traceable in ancient civilizations and mirrored in our own. In every culture, the connection between sex and power has caused legal battles, inter-family feuds, and bloodshed. However, the interpretation of what is meant by is am...

Quotations of Beauty

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 03:17:19 GMT

Beauty
The true definition of beauty has eluded mankind from the dawn of time. Unofficially, it is one of the top 10 subjects most conversed upon, and undoubtedly has one of the highest numbers of remarkable quotations of any topic. We all know the old clich s main source of energy, are making a slow but steady comeback. But as with a beautifully cut diamond, every facet provides ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

The Golden Compass

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 06:58:09 GMT

I saw The Golden Compass movie last night. Overall, it was excellent.

For those of you who have read Phillip Pullman' s Dark Materials trilogy, or just the first book, the screenwriters followed the book pretty closely, and it seemed to me that they left out very little. It has been years since I read the books, however...at least ten, to be more exact, but from what I remember th... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 05:33:58 GMT

Well, here standeth I. Here standeth I on the brink of a new endeavor! As an aspiring writer, I am fortunate to have stumbled upon this website; a great outlet for writing about relevant items and a great way to get exposure and feedback! However...I have a tendency to begin this sort of thing (blogger, livejournal...) and not keep them up to date. I blame this fact on my hectic life and my jam-p... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
