Could someone bring me this?
Urbanite in a 6th floor walk up. Don't let the picture fool you. I have brown hair now.

Why does everyone hate on Katie Holmes?
She looks adorable in The Romantics.

Recently a friend told me that it’s good to remember that making mistakes doesn’t mean you are going to die. It was part of a larger conversation about the possibility of moving to Portland later on to establish residency for school. It was a funny and awesome thing to say.
I think that words like this are good to hear from someone else.
Stepping out of my comfort zone does sometimes feel like I’m going to die so this was good advice.
(Right now I am out of my comfort zone.)
I am challenging a lot of the beliefs I’ve held for myself, like for instance, that I’d never want to live with my parents, go back to school or give up a salaried job with benefits. Writing this right now definitely shakes me a bit. I’ve actually quit my nice salaried job in NYC in a competitive field so that I can prepare to go to educate myself further and find a career that is fulfilling. I gave up my apartment in the East Village (THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE WORLD) so that I can save money. How am I doing that? Yesterday I moved in with my parents in suburbia. I always assumed I was too awesome to do that, but you know what? I am not too awesome to do that it turns out. This is scary and it is a risk. I might fail. But at least I will do so knowing that I tried.
I’ve realized recently though, that no matter what you choose, there are no bad choices, just different outcomes.
I’ve just adjusted my outcome.
Now, I realize that whether you know me personally or just know me through tumblr, you’ve probably seen some ideas floating around about different places and you may wonder, so where exactly IS this person? Where exactly is she expecting to go?
I have been in NYC for the past 4.5 years. It of course was life changing. My job? Not so awesome, but I tried and tried and tried to love it, “bloom where you’re planted” as we are encouraged to at this particular behemoth of a company. Well, I realized that I was on craigslist almost every day and looking up grad programs when I wasn’t on Craigslist. When I went to Oregon 2 years ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I’m going to visit two schools out there this summer. First though, I had to change directions and that is why I am writing you this story from Virginia where I shall be for the summer and possibly the rest of this year for pre-req’s for the master’s degree program I am interested in. If the plan sounds hazy, it is a bit, but I feel like I am actually in the driver’s seat of my life and that is pretty thrilling.

“I like that I stick out. I was watching ‘Valentine’s Day’ on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I’m watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, ‘Oh, my nose is so big!’ I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was. The first time I was on TV, on ‘Flight of the Conchords,’ someone put up a YouTube clip and said, ‘You’re too ugly to be on TV.’ And I was like, ‘That is exactly why it’s a good thing that I’m on TV.’”
Okay, I like her more now.

Went to Fette Sau last night
IT WAS MORE THAN AMAZING.
Basically I only had grilled meat and beer for dinner.
I’m eating my way through my last week in NYC.
Is there any other alternative? -
