I got a tattoo Saturday. After many a raised eyebrow from my people, and after about 9 months of imagining it on my left arm, I got this wounded into my arm with a tiny buzzing needle.
A mockingbird inside a bell jar. What kind of literary maniac would I be [...] Moments ago, I faced a social-networking existential crisis. I was about to update my Twitter, like I usually do several times a day, to alert the world that I was lint-brushing the cat fur out of my fleece jacket and really having a go of it. To the point where PETA might point a finger or [...] I can remember being 3 or 4, becoming completely obsessed with Yellow Submarine. My dad, ever the musical maverick had a newfangled CD player and a few of these round mirrored thingies that i was NOT allowed to touch. I ditched my Baby Beluga tape soon after, and fell irreversibly in love with John Lennon. I [...] I like music. I’m not a constant iPod-wearer or compulsive album-buyer, but I like music and I like it even more live.

I saw a pair of black ones at the Gap and I thought, yeah, those might be all right. They were. They’re black denim, with sort of riding pants-esque seams [...] Perhaps, had MLK Jr. come around 40 years after he did, his famous speech may have gone that way. I’ve been social-network-site-ing for about 5 years now, and several facts of the matter have emerged. Among them is the item that there are people I do not like strictly because of their Facebook existence. I used to [...] There is something so arresting about the sunlight in Boston in July. It usually rains quite a bit here in May and June, so when the sun pokes through and the puddles dry up, the brightness is almost unbearable. The sun never really bothered me as a kid: I have pretty squinty eyes so I could [...] For the first time in six years, I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be doing on September first. It’s a special little thrill that I hide away in a corner of my soul, that special date on which I have no plans, as of yet. I revisit this fact in moments of panic or confusion, insecurity [...] |
