Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: A retreat into the kitchen
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2010/11/retreat-into-kitchen.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Monday, November 15, 2010. A retreat into the kitchen. I make excuses to myself for the writing. I think about how I need to move over to fiction, but I have no characters, nobody alive in my brain except the me me me. I even jotted down some notes on the bus a few days ago. I wrote a little elegy for my grandpa on his birthday in mid-October. I’ve maintained good conversations and I’ve read some great books. Andrea Literature = Love.

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: June 2010
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Sunday, June 13, 2010. We have the internet now! We've been without since Memorial Day, and here's something I wrote in the meantime that I thought would make a good blog. Title coordinates to the below: I would never forget my internet purchase. 8220;Do you need a bag? 8221; the girl had asked after a particularly flustered transaction. I’d spoken softly and dropped the pen and any other number of insignificant gestures. 8220;Purchased for...

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: Volcanoes and Grocery-Store Tulips
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2010/04/volcanoes-and-grocery-store-tulips.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Monday, April 19, 2010. Volcanoes and Grocery-Store Tulips. So I sucked it up and stayed in London.sounds tough, I know. I got home and divvied the flowers up in the kitchen and common room. No one had arrived home from work yet, so I was quite pleased with myself, the empty house, and the flowers and curry supplies. The food went over famously, but standing in the kitchen with three males, all of a sudden, I found my tulips being mocked!

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: February 2009
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Monday, February 16, 2009. Meatloaf Cupcakes and Everything that Followed. I had a dear friend in town this weekend. It being Chicago in February, we did what any sensible fun-seekers would do: we ate. Uncontrollably. Saturday involved brunch (quiche and juevos mexicanos and omelettes, oh my), a trip to the Garfield Park Conservatory, hot dogs, and a gourmet dinner at home- French onion soup broiled with baguette and jarlsberg, and a medioc...

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: May 2009
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Sunday, May 31, 2009. I could apologize for my long hiatus from blogging, but we all know it wouldn't matter. Most people can't be minding too terribly that I've been two months absent. So even on this sleepy Sunday night, I'm keeping the panic at bay. It's ok that I can't picture what the next year will look like. I was wrong about the last two, and they've successively been the best yet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Andrea Literature = Love.

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: October 2009
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Friday, October 2, 2009. But the procrastination I’m thinking of is a different beast. It’s the supposed-to kind. I tell myself. Why doubt myself on such a moot point? It must be a symptom of something greater. Just like that. You are still on your couch, and another job will appear on the website for you to apply for and never hear back from. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Andrea Literature = Love.

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling: March 2010
http://bmaggard.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Thursday, March 18, 2010. Work in the Big City. This is why my job is cooler than your job. Today, someone sent out an all-staff email, looking for a lost water bottle. Another person replied with one that said he could not find his John Deere mug ("Really, it's true" he said.) He finished with this:. I guess nothing runs (away) like a (john) deere (coffee cup). Thursday, March 4, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Andrea Literature = Love.

Holding Out For That Teenage Feeling. Journals are so last year. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Yesterday, I went to my friend Todd’s house to work on this interminable project for my dad. Dad, who designs crash-prevention radio equipment for airplanes, was looking for some new voice talent to read traffic messages that would play for pilots while in the air. 8221; Just like the Count, from Sesame Street. Then I laughed a real laugh (hello, the Count is hilarious), which Todd caught on the recording.
