Gah. Being a grown-up is crap.
Just a quick vent because I don’t want to write it on Facebook or Twitter. Being a grown-up sucks. We (Mister Elle and I) are trying to be competent adults and buy a house. Of course, the house we fell in love with is INSANE, and probably a whiff out of our financial reach. My day has been spent talking to mortgage folks, sending documents and seeing quite clearly how financially...

I love you social media... I hate you social media
My relationship with social media is worse than a soap opera. I hate and I love. You may ask why I do this? I do not know, but I feel it to be so, and I am tortured. (A poem I translated in Latin class years ago.)
I love catching up, seeing how people turned out, and checking out what we may/may not have in common on Facebook. I love learning more about my friends. I hate feeling like I...
Let's try this again...
My first foray into tumblr was kind of a “plunk.” One post and then months of silence. I’m going to fix that. You should see me blogging more, getting personal, maybe even a little controversial.

My advice for brides and grooms
It seems like people I know get engaged/married in bursts. Around Christmas, there was another burst of engagements. It’s awesome, and I’ve given this advice out to them, and I thought I’d post it here too.
How am I qualified? Well, I’m married. I got married in a very casual, but classy Vegas ceremony. Before we decided to semi-elope, we had been making some serious...

My digital life...
…has been feeling really freaking censored lately! Now that I have family on Facebook, I really can’t rant and post the sorts of from-the-hip things that I like to because, well, I just don’t want to explain it when my mom will undoubtedly call me 5 seconds later. I’m also so extremely liberal, but have some good friends who are much, much more conservative. I really...
Blah-bity, blah, blah...
I’ve been trying real hard to follow the “Fake it until you make it” mantra for the past week or so. I think it might actually be working. I’ve actually got some shit done. I’ve had some crazy bursts of energy, which are a welcome change to the jobless melancholy that has overtaken me and my ideas of myself. I’ve got issues but I think I may be closer to...

Is that REALLY me?
I got married 3 weeks ago today. Yay! I hired someone to come in and make my hair big and curly. She also expertly attached fake eyelashes on me, evened out my ruddy, freckled face and made my eyes amazingly pop. We had professional photos taken. They look nice. As soon as I got back I changed my Facebook profile photo to it.
And I kept it there for over 2 weeks. People told me how...
Manicures
I never get manicures. It always seems like something too extravgant for everyday life. About the only times I can justify it is when I’m in a wedding. Well, my OWN wedding was 2 weeks ago. And I got a really nice manicure.
I know it could easily be an addiction if I had the means. For once my nails looked - nice. Not several lengths, broken, chipped, gnarly, but all one color, even,...
