wench

I don’t think I say this enough…
but to all my wonderful and truly amazing friends:
THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
This isn’t because of any one person, or any one event going on right now… It’s long overdue, and I definitely don’t say it enough to the people I care most about.

“maybe we should wait… slow things down and just be friends….”
“I just need some time.”
Well, that’s the update on what’s been going on.
(I’m sorry.)

So yeah, it came to my attention yesterday that one year ago today, I decided to start a new blog.  It didn’t originally have this name, in fact, I think it went through 3 names before Wench.
Turns out my blog isn’t the only one celebrating today — Jamie’s celebrating 2 years over at Oh! How [...]

Damn it.  I thought I had this figured out.
I’m questioning my grad school decisions… yet again…
I thought I had settled on Creative Writing.  But now that I’ve sat for long enough without completing an application*… I’m starting to wonder if what I want to do is indeed study writing.
I’ve got a lot of interests, and [...]

My Kelly 6 1/2 AL small shank hot pink mouthpiece is missing.
Earlier this month when my band was playing at the Hideout, I noticed it wasn’t in my gig bag.  Luckily, Kelly had supplied me with a glow-in-the-dark mouthpiece of the same size.  (Though now I’m looking at getting a 12C.)  However, I had to [...]

Saying this weekend was full of win would be an understatement.
Possibly one of the biggest highlights of this weekend/ever would be running off to the land of beer and cheese with one of my favorite bands, Mucca Pazza.
They had some cancellations and needed someone to sell merchandise for them.  I got the call on Thursday [...]

Not to raise any alarms or anything… but I’ve run off…

I’m getting in a van with these people.  Band nerds.
But don’t worry… I’m okay…

Send cookies… and booze…

Interwebs, I need your help.
A while ago I mentioned some career paths I wouldn’t mind taking…  While those still hold true, I’m finding more and more that there is definitely something I want to do… but there’s one catch: it doesn’t pay.  At all.
I want to volunteer in the education departments at the Shedd Aquarium [...]

This past year, as you may have noticed, I’ve gone on this sometimes exciting, sometimes painful ride of relationships…  I believe the phrase I used was an “endless cycle of doom and woe“…
Also, as you may have noticed, I’ve recently developed this… fondness… for a certain fellow.  So, obviously I’ve been excited — still am.  [...]

My mom joined facebook earlier this year…  I didn’t really understand why she did, but whatever… (Apparently some of her church friends are on it.)
Mostly, there hasn’t been issues.  It’s just another place for my mom and I to express our combined dorkiness.  Yes, I do sort of have to watch my status updates a [...]
