I have more than 500 songs on my iPhone/iPod. I’m only embarrassed about like, two of them. My eye has twitched about 500 times this week alone. Somewhat related (on account of he’s in a movie called 500 Days of Summer), I also loved this: At this point you are either so happy that I’veContinue reading “That’s a lot o’ words, yo”

Three friggin’ years
And I’m still goin’. That’s three years of writing about happy stuff, sad stuff, personal stuff, funny stuff, downright ridiculous stuff, photography stuff…..all on this lil’ website which people continue to visit for some reason. And whatever that reason is, I’m happy about it. I’m glad that you’re here. I want to hear more fromContinue reading “Three friggin’ years”
Bloggie buddies
My friends and family members are all ridiculously talented at different things. Crafts, cooking/baking, photography, speaking foreign languages, life… There are several of them who are awesome at writing. And luckily for me you all of us, they’ve started blogs! And even though you see ’em down the side of this page every time youContinue reading “Bloggie buddies”
If I ever add a tagline to this blog…
I cannot take credit for naming this blog. That would be The Roommate, who said something like, “You should call it ‘On Account Of’ or something like that since you say that a lot.” And the rest is history. I also cannot take credit for this next gem, which is a beautiful, wonderful compliment (ofContinue reading “If I ever add a tagline to this blog…”
10 years later
Where was I that day? In newspaper class, fittingly, my senior year of high school. We watched as the first tower smoldered and then, live, as the second tower was hit. We watched them fall in the next class period, as I sat next to a friend who was worried for the safety of aContinue reading “10 years later”
Today, we turn 2
Two years. If you’d have told me this day two years ago that I’d have a blog I’d keep up with – and that people would actually read – two years later, I’d have laughed at you. I’ve started blogs before. One was in college and was lame and I didn’t write much and ifContinue reading “Today, we turn 2”
Take a look, it’s in a book
A few months ago, I went to Half-Price Books (best bookstore in the world, if you ask me) and spent about $50 buying a huge stack of books. On account of I LOVE TO READ. So this week’s suggestions are authors I think you should check out. It’ll be worth it, I promise. Have IContinue reading “Take a look, it’s in a book”
I’m still here
Oh hey, remember when I had a blog? I do…I promise. And I would have been writing in it all this time, but, see, I’m a writer. Doesn’t make any sense? OK. Well. Because I am a writer, that’s how I get my feelings out the best. And considering my feelings as of late, writingContinue reading “I’m still here”
Happy birthday, lil’ blog
Today is my blog’s first birthday. And what a year it’s been. Exactly one year ago today I sat down at my computer and thought, “hey, I should start a blog.” I didn’t have a purpose for it, other than to share with my friends and family – and other random people that stumbled uponContinue reading “Happy birthday, lil’ blog”
Why I Won’t Shop At Meijer/Grammar Ninja
I have a bumper sticker on my car my roommate got me one year that says “Grammar Ninja: Ruthless, Deadly, Articulate.” It’s true. I am a Grammar Ninja of some sort, if such a thing exists. I don’t think I’m really deadly though. As a journalism major, fan of the English language and supporter ofContinue reading “Why I Won’t Shop At Meijer/Grammar Ninja”
