Adventure Time in Relationships
So, not to jinx it or anything, but my one year anniversary with Brazilian Helicopter Pilot is coming up in just over a month. Seeing as how when we started dating I was so commitment-phobic that I had trouble assenting to go to lunch as friends at the beginning of our relationship, I am quite…
Baby Michelle was Melodramatic
It’s Poetry Tuesday! We are going to go back through all my old notebooks and look at the god-awful poetry I wrote when I was an angsty teen and then you will get present day Michelle’s re-interpretation/headdesk horror-filled embarrassment. Till the End of Time Your arms cradle me in my sleep, But when I wake…
Adventure Time Upstate NY Style
Let’s finish off the awesome adventure that was my vacation to the great state of New York! From Tuesday to Friday, Brazilian Helicopter Pilot and I lounged on a glorious Lake Ontario beach and tanned ourselves. I don’t’ really know if there was more to it than that, lemme check my memory banks…. Well, there…
Adventure Time CNY Style
I know all you intrepid New York, New Yorkers are squinting at that acronym trying to decipher it so let me give you a hand. It is Central New York and no that does not mean Midtown. I am talking about Central New York State. No it is not “Upstate New York” unless you insert…

The Week of 6/25/2006 Witty one liner: You rock! I rule Quote of the week: Cut out Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): None Planner’s final word of advice? Carpe diem – seize the day! Apparently sixteen year old Michelle wanted to go out with a bang and decided to let anyone who opened her…

If you are disappointed, I am sorry, I promise I will eventually get around to talking about an adventure or two in the Brooklyn area, but for now – Williamsburg, VA. So when I last left you, Brazilian…
Adventure Time in Williamsburg Part 1
So I spent the weekend in Williamsburg! *long pause for people to get excited* “….Brooklyn?” *headdesk* No, I spent the weekend in Williamsburg, VA with my Brazilian Helicopter Pilot. *grinds head further into desk* New Yorkers REALLY have a hard time seeing beyond our own city. For a whole month I have been telling people…
Let’s Talk
Let’s talk about rape. Let’s talk about sexual assault. Let’s talk about harassment. Let’s talk about coercion. Let’s talk about silence and fear and anxiety and hyper-vigilance. Let’s talk about the fact that, without trying, I can list five people on one hand who I personally know and care about who have been sexually assaulted,…
This Week Ten Years Ago
The Week of 6/18/2006 Witty one liner: We’d make a cute couple, if only you were cute Quote of the week: Cut out Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): There is about 1/4 pound of salt in each gallon of seawater The witty one liner also reminds me of a funny picture my mother sent…
Average Every Day Adventure Time
It really is easy to forget that I live in New York City. That might seem hard to believe, but even when I was living in the Financial District for an academic year, it was not difficult to get completely caught up in life and the rush and forget about location. I can remember coming…
Christening The Boyfriend
Hi All! A quick little note here. I told The Boyfriend that I wanted to have a cool, fun nickname for him to use on the blog and he agreed to help me come up with one. I had a few suggestions, they mostly revolved around goats, an ongoing joke in our relationship, but as…
