everybody needs a person

When it’s all said and done, even people who are perfectly lonely and perfectly alone – still need their person. Whether it’s a romantic partner, a good friend, a loyal family member – everybody needs a person. And the truth is if you act like you don’t care enough, people will eventually start to believe you. So if you feel like you care too much or feel too much or love too much, remember that the alternative is worse. We should all try to seek balance because virtue is that middle ground between any two extremes. But when it comes to love, I don’t know if there is such a thing as loving too much or showing that you love too much. And if there is, I think it’s commendable; not something to be ashamed of. Because if you don’t tell people and show people that you do care, that you do have feelings for them, that you do love them, how the hell are they supposed to know?

kissing on the escalator

i saw this happen on the Metro the other night. it was so cute and lovely. i want that someday. 

The Hang Up

I'm still hung up on the RPJ.  For those of you just dropping in - that stands for the Rogue Photo Journalist. A crash and burn that happened earlier this month. Every time i leave the subway i see an Ad poster of his work which is being featured in not ONE but TWO major international art galleries!!!

Sometimes my unfulfilled crushes die hard. That's why i always try to fulfill them. :P

The WC (Work Crush) is still in love with me. He sends me love letters via texts and facebook messages all the time.

I think i fell in love with him.  And i think i would be with him if three major things were true:

1. if he was single
2. if he lived in the same state as me
3. if i wasn't half his age

But those things will never come true so I moved on three weeks ago. It's hard, but it's easier when there are hard facts that will never change and you have no control over them. 

PLUS why the FUCK would i want to be with someone WHO ISN'T SINGLE. wtffffffffffff is that about. No thanks, asshole. 

DC Kickballers

I joined a DC Kickball league. We play on the Mall.  It is fun, but EXTREMELY fratastic. I've never really been into that BRO scene, so I'm a little out of my element. The one thing that does join us all together is vanity and booze. So ya there's that.

This week a really HAWT man came to our team.  He's "been" on the team but this is the first week he showed up.

He is a tall  drink of water and i'm thirsty. Oh and he's also a Ginger.



So........there was some instant mutual attraction on the field.  Then at the bar we sat next to each other and played FLIP CUP together. Twice we fucked over our team cuz we were talking during our time to FLIP THE CUP.

So all is goin well and i'm thinking, date, maybe?

Then the HOTTEST basic bitch on my team - B - waltzes in!!!

B is super hot. She looks a lot like Meryl Streep, but even hotter.




OH AND DID I MENTION B'S LAST NAME IS "FOX"???

Needless to say - as soon as B sat across from HAWT GINGE at the flip cup table i was toast. He became totally consumed by her beauty and all my flirtation was for naught. ALAS! that is the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.......

Hairstylist in DC

Three weeks ago i got a cut from a hairstylist. She kept on refusing to do the pictures i showed her. She didn't do what i asked, but what she knew she could do. She wasn't very nice either so i don't think i'll go back to her.

I wanted this minus pixie bangs:

 Instead i got this:

Rather safe and dowdy - not my style, seeing as though i am a saucy minx at times.

I've taken to styling it punkier, wedging out the pieces, a bit more messy so it looks like me.


I was in the break room getting coffee yesterday. The Art Director complimented my hair cut. i told her i didn't like it at first and am still looking for a hairstylist in this town.
"I don't want to look like a Senator's wife," i said. She said

"Aw, well it suits you, you look great. Finding a hairstylist in this town is harder than finding a husband."

This made me smile.

Before she left she said, "If you shaved your head you'd still look great."

Here's hoping that I never have to, but if i do i guess that's good to know. ;)

Throwback Thursday: The Wonder Years

"Graceland" by Paul Simon

I cannot stop listening to the album, "Graceland" by Paul Simon. This year I feel as though it has been my most played album.

When you listen to it, there are so many beautiful images, stories and feelings from that album. I love the African and Cajun influences heard on it.

When you listen to Graceland you feel like it is illustrating the journey you are on, whether that be the internal on or an actual road trip across many states or countries.

We're bouncing into Graceland............................................
