as this year is ending…

I’ve been looking back on the past year for the past couple of days, and I can honestly say that though I regret many of the decisions I made over the course of 2008, I’m satisfied with how everything played out overall.
I made bad choices and got into a relationship that was completely toxic,
but
I’ve grown [...]

<3

sometimes I really love my life, and I find myself looking for anything to blog about at all.
I love my job, still. even after getting the crap beat out of me several times and getting spit on. there aren’t enough words in the world to describe how accomplished working at a place such as my [...]

I’m so bad at this blogging thing.

I think the reason I’m so bad at blogging lately has been because I use writing as an outlet when I’m upset or I have a lot of my mind, but recently, that hasn’t been the case for once. I like the way my life is going currently.
I transferred from working residentially on campus to [...]

Dear Friends:

Recently I came across a website that would provide me with eternal happiness.
My birthday is October 28th, and since all of you are my friends and want nothing more than for me to be happy, you should greatly consider buying me one of these super cool things for my birthday.
I’m being serious. Even though I [...]

…

I went home this weekend. it was a nice change. sometimes I like being there, often not so much.
my parents were all concerned about me because my hand was in a cast and all fucked up. sometimes I like having people pity me.
I spent a lot of time at my sister’s house because both of [...]

Meet Isabella Grace

Isabella Grace Jones is the third installment to my collection of nieces. She was born on December 12, 2006. This is her being cute:

The last time I was home before Baby Ava [...]

Meet Ava Kamryn Jones. She was born on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day!), 2008. She is the fourth installment to my collection of nieces.
Isn’t she beautiful?!
Let me tell you a little bit more about her: She was just released from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA this past Thursday after being life-flighted there a little [...]

I think this is termed “inspiration”…

it’s nearing 7 in the morning.
I haven’t slept all night, and I couldn’t fall asleep now if I tried.
I was struck with an idea of sorts, and any exhaustion I felt immediately went away.
I’ve been typing the start to the semi-autobiographical novel I’ve been thinking of writing for years for the past two hours; however, [...]

nothing important.

I don’t like using capitalization.
as you may have noticed, every time I write a blog entry the only word I ever capitalize is “I”. why, you may ask? I’ve always looked at things I write like this: nothing I have to say is important, meaningful, or worth anything; therefore, it doesn’t deserve capitalization. in the [...]

let’s get back to normalcy.

I graduated 8th in my class out of 183 students from Tamaqua Area Senior High School.
I was the 3rd female in our class ranks. I’m not going to lie; it was a pretty difficult feat. after having spent my first two years of high school not giving a shit about grades whatsoever, I had [...]
