girlslikewords.: Heartland.

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2013/05/heartland.html

Tuesday, May 21, 2013. I've been glued to the news since 3 pm yesterday afternoon when a coworker hesitantly asked, "Um.do you know anyone in Moore, Oklahoma? And since then, everyone keeps asking.why would you live in a place that's been struck by tornadoes multiple times? Why would you put yourself in harm's way and submit yourself to the potential heartache of losing everything? And why, oh why, when it's all said and done.do you come back? Oklahomans don't give up. Why do they do it? No other city is...

girlslikewords.: December 2011

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 15, 2011. Myself and some of the lovely ladies I consider my sisters. At my Halloweenie Roast Masquerade. Ive always been a curvy girl with glasses. Im not perfect, but if I dont have something nice to say I generally keep my mouth shut. I listen to bands most of these girls have never heard of and read nonfiction book on topics like the Columbine shootings and the founding of Rolling Stone magazine to educate myself on topics Im interested in.

girlslikewords.: One week.

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2013/05/one-week.html

Monday, May 13, 2013. A little more than a week ago, I was holed up in a Tulsa coffee shop on a cold, foggy morning trying to hold myself together because I didn't want to leave behind that city I love so much yet again. It's amazing how much perspective you can gain in just a week. I love that city because it feels like mine. I know all its secrets, good and bad. I know it inside and out - and Houston is just too damn big for that. I'll never know it like I know Tulsa. I might not like Houston nearly as...

girlslikewords.: October 2012

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 12, 2012. Life lesson learned: I need someone. Being the wallflower, nose-in-a-book, loner writer girl has always been my identity. I'd rather keep to myself, live a quiet life and let everyone else run around and make a mess of things. I was painfully shy when I was younger and hated having to speak to people I didn't know - fear of rejection and whatnot. Kind of a conundrum for a girl who wanted to work for a daily newspaper. But I didn't realize until last night when I had a complete a...

girlslikewords.: November 2012

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 29, 2012. Things I Love Thursday. Man, it's been awhile since I've done one of these posts. Things I Love Thursday posts originated with Gala Darling. If I'm not mistaken. My lovely friend Melanie. Posted her TILT on Facebook this morning, and I thought "why not reinstate that as a Thursday blog post for awhile? So here are the things I love this Thursday:. Cooler weather and little humidity! Pumpkin coffee and coffee creamer that help me hold on to fall a little longer. At the start o...

girlslikewords.: April 2012

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 20, 2012. Welcome to the last few days of my life. And the crazy part? Tonight as I was working, I realized I'm nowhere even CLOSE to actually writing anything real yet. I'm still working out characters, relationships, story lines.I know a lot, but it's a lot of peripheral details that don't lead anywhere. Once I have all those worked out, then this story that's been swirling around my head for years will finally have the chance to get out. Monday, April 9, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

girlslikewords.: January 2012

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 20, 2012. The Year of the Devil Wears Prada. Today is the last day of your job, and I think its important to write you this letter so you dont forget some things youve learned over the past year. You have a tendency to walk away from something, then romanticize the good aspects later and wonder why you ever left. In case you ever forget, I thought I might remind you with this letter before your memory becomes hazy. Lands a job on the spot at their first interview with a company?

girlslikewords.: April 2013

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 15, 2013. Today is The Day. Today is The Day. For someone out there, this is the day that changes everything. As you watch a TV screen, read a Tweet or hear it from a friend, it's the day that means your world will never be the same again. I hate that for someone out there, today is The Day. Surely my teacher was making it up. That something I felt slipping away from me? I realize now that was the week, the day, the moment I went from being a child living in this world, dreaming of changing...

girlslikewords.: Happy Birthday to...me.

http://girlslikewords.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-birthday-tome.html

Thursday, May 2, 2013. Happy Birthday to.me. Today I turn 29 and for some reason this age feels like a milestone to me. I guess because if you think about. It, technically today launches me into my 30th year of life - and 30 is a milestone birthday. But I think it's also because there was a time I couldn't even foresee being this age, much less what my life would be like. It seemed far off, unattainable, impossible even. Yet here I am. But in the end? So as my 30th year of life starts, I feel like I have...
