In our Sometimes-Life...
I was once walking through a grove of pine trees in the desert, looking for some inspiration, when a black crow feather fell down in front of me from nowhere. Looking back, I now know that it probably was pushed off a tree limb by the wind, but at the time, I thought of it as something more...

Why can some people multitask while others can't?
I have never been able to juggle very many things at once. Right now, one of my friends is trying to talk to me and I have to decide whether or not I want to write this blog or talk to her. I am trying to do both, but my conversation is suffering just as much as this post is! Whenever I see someone...

I think there is someone in my ceiling...
The other night, as I lay trying to fall asleep, I heard scratching from above my head. At first I thought I was imagining it, but as the scratching continued and seemed to move along the ceiling tiles, I realized that I must have mice. Or, rather, our floor has mice, because the ceiling connects to...

What Would you Say in this Situation? I Have Frustrated Many People Before!
One of my favorite ways of passing the time is coming up with interesting questions that usually wouldn't occur to people. Besides that, it also helps you get to know someone. I've assembled a few of my favorites, and some of my answers to them. I usually frustrate people because I only give them...

63 Hours Later, I Finally Get to Sleep
Somehow, I have had something to do for all 63 hours over the past days. The closest thing I got to a break that whole time was during meals, which I had to abbreviate to short, 15 minute power-eating sessions. All told, this has at least proven to me that I have more tolerance for sleep deprivation...

Our Posts Here Mean Nothing.
This post is about today's experience with Blogit, a topic which generally hold little interest for me but, in this instance, I feel the need to post this. I say in my title that our posts mean nothing not because they are void of content (although, as mine will attest, they sometimes can be), but...

Minor Life Changes Leading to Major Accomplishments
At around 2:00am, as I was wondering how I was possibly going to balance working twenty five hours a week on top of attending college full time, I decided that I am going to drop one of my classes (medical anthropology). Though I feel bad about having to do it, I realized that it wasn't the work...

This is How I Write, Not with an Impassioned Hand but with a Bowed Head
The best creative device I have ever found is patience. To explain that, I need to say how I go about writing. This process only works for fiction, which is perfect for me because I do not enjoy writing anything else. Somehow, the fact that anyone can get the same information I would obtain makes it...

I'm Getting Published and Presenting at a National Conference on my Work!
I'm getting nervous about this already. Here's the story: a few weeks ago, my professor called me and asked me if I would like to write a professional paper on the fieldwork I did over the summer with her, which would eventually be presented at a national archaeology conference and published in an...

I Wasn't Going to Post This At All...
After writing it, I felt that it was too personal to post here - or maybe it was just that I didn't want to put out a debate I don't really think has an answer, anyway. This is the post I said was "too serious" to put in my other blog, which really isn't true. It doesn't belong there because, in the...
