July Plug Challenge: Week 2

July 14, 2009 at 17:59 pm · 2 comments

As promised, the 2 pairs of Anatometal solid gem plugs have made their way into my collection! In fact, I love them so much that I wore both pairs 2 days in a row. This will probably skew my month’s data in favor of these plugs, but I’ll chalk it up to the fact that [...]

July Plug Challenge: Week 1

July 7, 2009 at 20:57 pm · 1 comment

I am documenting the plugs I wear every day for 1 month, mostly to see which pairs I wear the most/least, but also as an excuse to take some photos with my new camera (I got a Canon PowerShot SD990 IS! It’s hot!). I’ve got 2 pairs of Anatometal solid gem plugs on the way [...]

If my lack of blog posts says anything about me, it’s that my post-college life is pretty boring. So what have I been up to? Well, the 2009 Nonprofit Technology Conference (09NTC) was a blast. I wrote up a guest blog post about the conference for beyondwords. This weekend I will be returning to San [...]

Stretched Ears: My Personal Timeline

April 22, 2009 at 18:53 pm · 12 comments

One of my most distinguishing features is my stretched earlobe piercings. I often wonder why people seem to remember me after having met me only once, and my friends tell me, “It’s because you have huge holes in your ears, DUH!” My parents have never understood why I got into body modification. I’m not sure [...]

So on Friday I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was having a bit of a panic attack beforehand, considering I’ve never broken a bone, had stitches, or undergone any type of surgery before. Luckily, everything went according to plan. I showed up early to fill out paperwork and ended up having to wait about [...]

The gifts drum corps hath given me.

Efficiency. I am now so fast at showering and/or getting ready to go somewhere, it’s unbelievable. I’ve put boyfriends to shame. Drum corps also made me a firm believer of getting it done right the first time (although I’m pretty sure that if you did this in drum corps, you would still have to do [...]

Maybe this is silly, but I’m 22 years old, and I already feel like I am running out of time. If I were Britney Spears, I would have already released 4 albums. If I were Bill Gates, I would have already dropped out of Harvard and started my own computer software company. What happened to [...]
