The Ghettos of Vancouver

I’m currently blogging from Vancouver, Canada, where I’m staying with Ritchie until New Years Day. Whenever I need a break from the world and all the stresses that come with it, I seem to have this little habit of escaping to Canada, and for that (and to him and his girlfriend Cheryl) I am [...]


word association

Yesterday I spent Christmas with my mother and my sister. Nothing Christmas-like - Christmas is just a holiday for the kids, before we got older and jaded and stopped believing in things like Santa or Jesus; just a simple dinner of braised pork and bean sprouts, with the television on in the background.

Five things you didn’t know about me

Cameron has tagged me for the “five things you don’t know about me” meme. Who am I to say no?

akeelah and the butt

So, I have this friend; we’ll call him B, for now. He wears designer jeans and works at the front-desk of a gay gym, yet somehow we get along swimmingly.

B: (on the phone with me) So I’m hanging out at [my ex-boyfriends house] and…

best t-shirt ever

I know this seems a little shameless and camgirl-like, but a special thank you for everyone who was nice enough to buy something off my Amazon Wishlist: Joz, Drew, Jess & Marc, and Patrick.

an open letter to the city of fremont, ca

Dear Fremont, CA:
Though a series of circumstances, most of them directly out of my control, I have been living in your fair city, on and off, for the past two or three years or so. Therefore, I think I have a right to make any judgments and opinions about you. And that assessment [...]
