Raz Berries: September 2013
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. Raz vs. The Wedding Shower. My best friend is getting married and I’m thrilled to pieces for her. I cried when she asked me to be a bridesmaid. I cried when I saw her in her wedding dress, and I will probably be a blubbering mess at the wedding. I’m prepared for that. For most of the shindig I just avoided it. But I’m a bridesmaid. In lieu of producing useful advice, my head supplied snarky responses to nearly all of the strips up there. For example, one read: “There...I’...

Raz Berries: February 2013
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. A List of Things I Used to Not Like But Now I Think are Okay. If the title of this post doesn’t make sense to you, go listen to this song. Then come back. I won’t go anywhere. What can I say? I was an angry teenager. Big fish, small pond. You get the idea. But I didn’t ask you here today to tell you about my growing experience as a person. In fact, I didn’t ask you here at all, and yet here you are. I appreciate that. I really do. Dogs - This explanation is not as deep. ...

Raz Berries: The Lazy Runs Deep
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-lazy-runs-deep.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. The Lazy Runs Deep. Now I know what I expected to happen. I would usually handle a disappointment like the C staring back at me with a heavy sigh and a bitter remark and a dismissive wave of my hand. Life isn’t fair. I learned that a long time ago when my mother explained to me that I had to be the older and therefore the more mature one when my sister and I would get into skirmishes when we were little. But that wasn’t what happened. It wasn’t what happened at all. I'm sure y...

Raz Berries: Williamsburg and Watson
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013/10/williamsburg-and-watson.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. Since I started this blog I've been consistent about posting at least once a month. October sort of snuck away from me, but it had an easy time of it because I was very distracted with two. Programming classes, a short story I'm working on for my Fiction Writing class, a fledging portrait photography business, and being a bridesmaid. Most. Of which I love (lookin' at you, programming classes). Ok here we go:. It's a cherry. On the ground. Move along. A fence and some stuff.

Raz Berries: April 2013
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Image from alicepaul.org. When it came time to choose my classes this semester, I wanted to make sure I had enough hours that I could drop any course if things started to go downhill. I needed three more hours. I needed a humanities course. Enter Intro to Women’s and Gender Studies, stage left. They needed to be made to realize the implications of the things they were saying! Basically, I’d been bit. Then I realized that “save the world, get the girl” was easily just ...If the me...

Raz Berries: August 2013

Friday, August 30, 2013. Why I Said Ke$ha Was My Favorite Artist. If you ever run out of glitter, you know where to find me. Now, pretty much anywhere else, this question would fall in the “Mostly Harmless” category. It’s easy to have a casual conversation about music you’re currently into or to “Quick! Wind up looking like you’re snubbing your nose at everyone else. If you name someone that hasn’t been around long enough, you risk looking capricious or irresolute. But it goes deeper than that. Because I...

Raz Berries: I'm a Mess
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013/11/im-mess.html
Thursday, November 28, 2013. You would not believe the. Month I’m having. My first year of college was easy. It’s easy to ignore homework. It’s easy to avoid studying and pretend like you’ll do fine on the test anyway because you’re smart. It’s easy to curl into a ball and/or crawl into a hole and hide from your problems when you realize that’s not actually how things work. It’s easy to stare at your failing grades and pretend that as long as no one knows, they don’t exist. It was as simple as that.

Raz Berries: May 2013
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Paint a Bridge and Get Over It. I can't in good faith say that I'm not extremely proud of the way it turned out. It took a ton of work, I think it looks great and I'm downright impressed with myself. However, I can. In good faith say that it has a ton of problems. And those problems bother me every time I look at it. So I'm going to share them with you guys, here, because I think it's good to be critical of yourself, and also because nobody else wants to hear it. Right in the middle.

Raz Berries: March 2013
http://raz-berries.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 28, 2013. That’s the fear of talking on the telephone. I Googled it just now, and was deeply disappointed that it does not have a cooler name. Phobialist.com. Has it indexed as “telephonophobia,” but that’s not much better and sounds made-up to boot. “Albuminurophobia,” for example, is the fear of kidney disease. That one sounds cool, but is anyone not. Afraid of kidney disease? I feel like that’s a really reasonable thing to be afraid of. But I digress, as I often do. But all the convers...
