Home (?) sweet (?) home.

Home feels surreal. As I walked up the front path to my house last night, I thought, “This is like a dream.” How could I have woken up in New York that morning, been at a Mets game only 24 hours before? Apparently, the 12 hours of travel did not convince me that I was [...]

Of kids and mothers

Today, the child I babysit made a phone call. Here’s why that is, in any way, notable:
He made it on a cell phone.
He made it on his cell phone.
He made it to his friend who was literally 10 feet away.
His friend did not answer his cell phone because he was too busy texting.
In my day… [...]

+ I’m halfway done with finals after my anthro final this afternoon.
- It was the hardest final of my life. I opened it and literally laughed, because that’s how little I knew.
+ So I went to Absolute Bagels afterward to salvage my day.
- But it was raining on the 10-block walk over.
+ The bagel was [...]

Blogiatus Over!

There’s a 98.7 percent chance that everyone (all three of you) has given up on me ever returning.
But hey! Would I renege on a promise? Answer: no, not usually. Unless that promise was made under duress, like, I don’t know, torture. Advanced interrogation techniques. Or, as I like to call it, peer pressure.
(Wait, I’m [...]

Sorry!

Ok, I’m on a mini blogiatus induced by some mofos named school and blogging for the ‘nard to recruit next year’s incoming class.
I will say OMG I can’t believe it’s April. Tax season! Hahaha, jk, like I pay taxes. Fraud is my name/game. No, again, jk, IRS! I just don’t earn enough money to pay [...]

Guest Columnist

Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote this mofo and had my two minutes of fame?
And how all the comments on my story–fact: every comment is from someone I know, and 6 out of 7 are from people from home–were like, “Anna! Send this to the Express!” and how I talked to my mom [...]

FB with Father

The dam has fallen–my family is Facebook-connected now. As soon as my step-sisters friended my step-mom, I knew that resistance was futile, and that I would have to give in and friend my dad after 2 years of avoiding it.
(What really broke me down? That my dad sounded so sad and confused over the [...]

Friday the 13th

Here’s what happened on Friday:
My sister got into her master’s program. I’m so happy for her. Once, Simon Cowell said, “I don’t get this ‘happy for’ thing. How can you be happy for someone… oh, silly Americans!” (That was paraphrasing). Anyway, I thought about that for awhile at the time, and was like, “Simon, maybe [...]

Name Nerd

Something I noticed while in my colloquium yesterday: there’s like 15 people in that class, and only 4 names.
*2 Annas, 1 Ana, 1 Anne and 1 Diana
*2 Katherine Annes, both of whom go by Kate
*1 Erin and 1 Aaron
That’s 9 people, and basically, 3 names. So that 15/4 thing? Hardly an exaggeration. This probably [...]

Definitely a Freak, Not a Geek.

If I were to see James Franco asleep in class, I would maybe take a picture. But I like to think that I would not send that pictureto TMZ, my least favorite of the (many) celebrity gossip sites.
Especially now that James and I are so close–we did be in 209 at the same time, and [...]
