Live
Last night I went to the Vic Theatre (beautiful venue, by the way) to see Imogen Heap with my friend Gretchen. I’m not a HUGE fan of Imogen, but I like her enough and wanted to hang out with Gretchen.
I am so glad I went.
Since graduating from college, and especially after moving to Chicago, my attendance at live shows has DRAMATICALLY decreased. In the past year, I saw Jamie Lidell for...

Aunt Luddy's White Trash
I’ve already posted this photo once on here:
That’s from my grandma’s after funeral party (because she was big into parties). Anyway, Sandra Bullock was on Jay Leno last week and spent a large segment talking about MeeMaw (her Aunt Luddy) and White Trash. Here’s the clip.

Not the first time I’ve seen it since August 10th. It gives me chills...

Supporting My Long Distance Relationship
I am currently in a long distance relationship from Chicago to Kansas City that has lasted close to seven months.
I guess I don’t talk about it very often on here because, well, I’d like for it to last and I just want to keep it private. As much as I enjoy this relationship and as much as I’ve learned and grown in the past seven months, it is one of the hardest things I have...
