Of all the important things to pack, pants are probably top of the list. My friends Richie, Ashley, and I were halfway through West Virginia when I sat straight up in my seat and blurted “I forgot pants!”. We were headed for an extended weekend in Kentucky to reunite with my former roomie/current bestie AshCap,…

When Worlds Collide
I’m always right. Right-brain, that is. In school I discovered drawing was a wonderful way to tune out all that monotonous science-talk. I doodled on everything. I have always enjoyed writing, and my unpublished, handwritten African-American urban teenage love story is proof of my white, suburban imagination. I have also loved music ever since my…
Math Hurts
1 pound a week. 6 pages a week. 150 dollars a week. Three goals, broken down into bite-sized pieces. If I can just do these three small things each week for the next year, I will be: 52 pounds lighter. 312 pages into my book. 7,200 dollars down in debt. If I’d known it was…
Thursday
Bills. Litter boxes. Ratchet customers who haven’t caught.on to the 21st century, 20% tip memo. Dishes. Dental appointments. Sticky, whining children. Sticky, whining adults. Cracked windshields. Rain. So much rain. Sometimes it’s hard to catch a glimpse of God. Everything seems so..blah. Boring. Routine. Uninspiring. It seems as though it would be easier if we…
Anxiety Much?
Yesterday was THE BIG DAY. The day I was waiting to find out just how screwed I’d be, car wise. Would I have to buy a new car? Would they give me three hundred dollars for everything as my step-dad secretly dreaded? What could I buy for three hundred dollars? A Schwinn and a purple…
Crash Into Me (Or Don’t, Actually)
I just realized that “when the chips are down” is referring to poker chips. I also thought “talk shop” meant talking about manly things, like shop class, but it actually means talking business. Who knew? (A-Everyone else, but, whatever.) So anyway, my chips were down on Saturday. I got hit by some dude who missed…
Another Year, Another Margarita
Birthday weekend was a success! There was a lovely dinner out at Social 52, a “surprise” paint nite event at The Speakeasy, a strawberry margaritas on the patio at Baja Bean, and then a night of dancing to old school hip hop jams at Bellytimber. I might have given my number to a handsome man….
Angela: Unsweetened Oval Pescatarian
I should never be allowed to watch documentaries. In the past week I have decided to go “oval pescatarian” (auto corrected to Oval Rastafarian. I love dem eggs, mon!). Oval pescatarians eat all vegetarian options plus eggs and seafood. I will try to stay mainly vegetarian (and actually not eat a ton of dairy, either)…
The Secret to Making Great Decisions
I’ve figured out my life! All it took was a cheap bottle of Cabernet, some candles (for ceremony), a pen and paper, and a bedazzled Styrofoam bowler hat. This night came about because I have a serious issue with decision making. I would undoubtedly take gold if there was an Olympics for indecisiveness. Well, if…
I’m Out
Where would you move to if price was no object? What would you do to earn a living? What sort of people would you surround yourself with? I love Richmond, but I would welcome a new adventure in life. I am over the same old routine, and my comfort zone has become unbearably comfortable. My…
