Hey, guess what everyone!? I’M NOT DEAD. YAY. I know you were worried. Except if you follow me on Twitter, you’d know I absolutely was not dead, but have continued tweeting complete nonse...
Every single time I tweet about how I’m having a bad day, there are always a few people who reply to me saying basically the same thing: “You live in Paris! How could you ever have a bad ...
Today, it was a slightly chilly morning and I decided to head up the hill to the little grocery store. I have an obsession with these little pre-packaged coffees, mainly because it’s the only t...
Today, I had an hour Thai massage with a thirty minute hammam bath. Now, I did this mainly because I saw a LivingSocial coupon for it and thought, “Hey, that’s a good way to spend an afte...
Today, I am breathing fire. Part of it is that today I want to strangle a person, but the other part is just that some days you wake up really angry, you know? I have no idea what that’s about ...
Today, I bought jeggings, the legitimate kind that have the elastic waistband. The “front pockets” and “zipper” are quoted because they exist only for show. The back pockets c...
Today, I think it’s important for me to make a list of all the things I live by, many of which have been shaped, formed and invented over the course of the last six months. Everything in my lif...
Today, I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes and it was surprisingly very good and entertaining, but this isn’t Rotten Tomatoes, so let’s get to the heart of the story, shall we? We shall....
Today, I am going on the second day of being sick, which means I am currently the world’s least pleasant person to be around. I am writing this in between sneezes and crying in the bathroom, be...
Today, all I wanted to eat were tacos. I did my research, looked for the perfect taqueria that is marketed towards the homesick Californian transplanted into Paris. I boarded the metro, starving and ...
Today*, I was starting my work for the day and my boyfriend (Houssem) frantically came through the front door yelling, “The door is closed!” So, I follow him down the two flights of stair...
Love. This is a thing that has never come easy for me. I’ve been rejected, dejected, bitter and insecure all in the face of it. I’ve convinced myself I was in it and I’ve moved from...
So, I’m back from the dead. Literally. Okay, fine, figuratively. Calm down. But really, back from the dead. If you haven’t been following my tweets or Facebook posts, you may not know tha...
During uncomfortable situations, I, like many before and after me, use jokes to diffuse the situation. However, while this is a viable and successful technique to make people like me more, it’s...
So, I started French classes last week and you know how people say you just pick languages up by being immersed in the country of said language? Yeah, those people are liars. Dirty liars who need to ...
When you’re living abroad in a country that’s different from your own, but also not the complete opposite, it’s the little, minute discrepancies that you notice. And, it’s als...
That’s the end of this post. Just thought I should document such a momentous occasion. Also, I live incredibly close to the Moulin Rouge (pictured left) and I can feel Lil’ Kim and Christ...
Have you noticed that I haven’t been blogging? Yeah, me too. What’s that about? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that I don’t think I’ve had a free moment sin...
Here’s the thing: I’m kind of an asshole when it comes to sharing the wealth on the web. I have a strict no guest posting policy wherein I do not allow people to guest post here nor do I ...
You see, I’ve been in a little bit of a situation lately when it comes to what I consider, “entertaining reading material.” As in, “entertaining reading material” appare...
So, I’m learning French. No, that’s a lie. I completed the demo on the Rosetta Stone website and now know how to ask for fish (poisson), salad (salade) and soup (soupe). Which, if I’...
One year I went as Dolly Parton for Halloween, mostly because I had a blonde wig lying around and enough chest to fill out a very tight-fitting dress. Once I hit the town, red lipstick on my lips and...
After a while, working in your pajamas, hunched over a desk that sits adjacent to the bed you just got out of, must have some sort of adverse affect on your self-esteem. And by “your self-estee...
Oh, hi, hello. How are you? Yes, I’m alive. Yes, this is me coming out from under a mountain of indecisiveness to tell you that I HAVE MADE A DECISION. I know you think that this is not a big f...
It’s 8:32 p.m. on a Tuesday night and I’m wearing black eyeliner and hot pink lip gloss. Tomorrow, I leave on a 10:45 a.m. flight to New York City after deciding on a whim that I’d ...
Sometimes I get scared to want something, because I worry I don’t have the persistence and dedication necessary to finish it. Sometimes I care way too much if a guy gets in touch. Sometimes I c...
SPOILER ALERT: $15 iTunes gift certificate goes to the funniest comment on this post. Go, chickadees. There are certain words in the English language that, when you hear or see them used, you think t...
Last week, I rearranged my bedroom into a sequence of furniture I hadn’t combined before. And I wondered, “how had I not seen this layout before?” And, it made me think even further...
So, you guys, I’m trying to have a better attitude about humanity as a whole. I’m naturally a pretty annoyed person. Which, funny enough, is actually pretty damn annoying. I think my anno...
You see, my life consists of two quite opposing ways of living: 1. ways in which I am a Real Adult and 2. ways in which I am not a Real Adult. There are times that even I am convinced that I am on th...
