IN 10 days my big sister is getting married. I’m her maid of honor, and I am stressed. Not that I have much to be stressed about. Texas Lexi is pretty much the most laid back bride ever. Her wedding is going to be 5 days of fun festivities and free alcohol. Literally 5 days: [...]

WINNERS!
The AFSP fundraiser ended at midnight on June 5th. Together, we raised $1035 for suicide prevention. Last night as I was putting together the names for the drawing, I finally got to read through all your wonderful comments. You guys made me cry. Thank you all so very much. Your generosity has blown me away. [...]
Please help.
UPDATE: The fundraiser ended at midnight on June 5th, 2010. Winners of the drawing will be posted shortly. I reached the participation goal of $1000. I appreciate all your support and kind words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
Charlotte, I need you. On March 18th, the three year anniversary of [...]
The wall
Those of you who have spent some time at a university know what the wall is, and Friday I plowed straight into the metaphorical fucker. Crying in the Garringer lab, running away from the computer, burying my face in my hands at the base of the Belk tower. For the first time in grad school, [...]
I did things and went places
Friday night was my friend Skylar’s 24th birthday. And since I’m always in favor of my friends getting older (because it makes me feel better), I decided to emerge from my black hole of waitressing and research and venture into the inner circle.
Kazba:
We started the night with a reservation at Kazba which was nice, but [...]

Introducing KUWTB for iPad!
There comes a time when even the most stubborn writers and technology skeptics must put aside their doubt. The introduction of the new Apple iPad is one of those times. Not since the original Macintosh introduced the world to home computing has something so revolutionary burst onto the tech scene. It’s a whole new world [...]
Narrative Summary of the Circumstances Surrounding Death
Tattoos? Birds/seagulls in flight…
On March 18th 2007 I woke up. I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and went to breakfast at IHOP with my boyfriend. I came back to the dorm to see an ambulance parked outside of our building with the doors open. A girl was hanging on a boy. She was crying. That [...]
Trade and Trying
Today’s Observer is ridonkulous. Ri-freaking-donkulous.
For starters, in this newsclip about a teen pleading guilty to the beating of UNCC professor Narayan Dhakal, the reader is informed that the professor “was found beaten at the intersection of 8th and North Trying streets.” You know, I kind of like this rename. As in Trying to be like [...]
A quarter century of snark
Today I am twenty five. Twenty five on the twenty-fifth. This is somehow significant, although I feel like people who turned 21 on the 21st enjoyed it more.
So far today has been pretty nice, aside from the fact that the second person to wish me happy birthday was my dentist, Dr. Roznick (good guy). This [...]
