About

I got married on 09.18.10 to a dude I’ll refer to in this space as “the beau.”

During the 1.31 years the beau and I were engaged, I started a blog. It was a blog about — wait for it — planning a wedding. Which sounds frivolous, but SHUT UP. I named that blog another damn wedding, because just as mine was another freakin’ wedding in a virtual sea of weddings, mine was also another freakin’ wedding blog in a virtual sea of wedding blogs. Unique snowflake my ass, right?

During the time I had that blog, however, I came down with some kind of chronic illness that caused me to like — even enjoy — writing. As a consequence, I decided to continue blogging under a different name after the wedding was over and done. As someone who has worked in a marketing department for the past six years, I carefully selected my new name with an eye towards branding and an inclination towards laziness. Thus, another damn life was begun.

I like nostalgia, chocolate doughnuts, music, proper grammar/spelling, corn on the cob, the way my grandpa plays the accordion, cursing, waking up in a motel bed in a new city, melty peanut butter on toast, American history, improper grammar/spelling when it’s a conscious choice, coffee that tastes like creamy liquid candy, clouds. Unless they are fog clouds. I get geeked up about taking pictures. I love to watch ice hockey.

Personal convictions include: never owning a vehicle with a television or navigation system in it. I despise the term “rock star” and that is pretty much the last time I’ll be typing those two words in conjunction with one another. On a somewhat related note, I am terrible at Rock Band. I am merely adequate at math. I live in high anticipation of the day the 1980s go back out of style again.
