Sometimes when I read BigSleep666 I get a little jealous, and think about how close I came to that ideal...They really are so awesome together.

fuck vegas. fuck vegas and 110 degrees and screaming girls raising a ruckus because it seems like they should. a highly scheduled ruckus, a stereotypically punk rock time. a ruckus that doesn't seem fun.

Every time I travel this year I think of each trip as an escape, and picture myself holed up on a porch, in a yard, by a pool, reading and writing and contemplating and thinking. And yet it never happens. Instead it is bike rides and car trips and ch

I used to be boy crazy, but it's been months since anyone on the street or subway or elevator has caught my eye. And I've stopped looking at happy couples with that sighing combination of admiration and jealousy, too. My wistful longing is now solel

1. What does your myspace quote mean? ("What, WHAT was my new motto?")I have a new motto every week. Sometimes I even remember it. 2. Elaborate on your primary photo?Meg went to Colorado, I tagged along, Nick had a Polaroid camera, and ever

This Friday the Gotham Girls play Madison Wisconsin in our first ever interstate bout - so exciting! Even more exciting - I made the All-Star team! I know. I'm as shocked as any of you. It's a history-making bout for sure, and you all want to be ther

After I posted my googlism list of all possible megans, Josh emailed me with this:"megan is unable to resist the temptation to create this new machine" my reply: oh man. i NEED that machine. "dubloonomatic." awesome.Josh's r

Today was a very New York stereotype day. Pilates at lunch, then out to get sushi and iced coffee, walking in the sunshine in my all-black skirt and shirt and sandals, all sleek, listening to my ipod, heading back to my publishing job.Fourteen-year-o

...but really, i'm so tired of waiting...

Last night I brought brownies to derby practice (to prove a point about my baking skills to doubtful teammates) and every person I offered a treat to asked, "Are they special brownies?" To which I replied, "Do I look like I know where

Network news is network news, but still, I always had a soft spot in my heart for Peter Jennings. I think it started the night I saw him roll his eyes when quoting Reagan. Or maybe it was just the wry Canadian delivery."There are a lot of people

This has been going around MySpace and it's awesome. Googlism.com. Type in your name, in quotes, and it defines you through what google finds. It's like a glimpse into your possible futures.I love mine. It reads like high school poetry.And some of it

Some generic EntertainmentHollywoodAccessTonight show was playing as I cleaned and silkscreened tonight, the whole show dedicated to celebrity pets. Fuzzy dogs and fat pugs and tiny rat-like things, all of them wearing clothes and jewelry that cost m

It would be great if I could wait until the first injuries healed before hurting myself again.Tonight it was falling during the third turn on the track. Every turn had felt wrong, off-balance, but I'd kept going because I'd gotten the lead, was half

I suppose in light of what happened, it's not much of a surprise that I've been having trouble sleeping this week. The weekend wasn't bad, with the breeze blowing through the window and the temperatures down to a normal summer high. But then Monday r

Every day we let a little something else go; and this is good, because we slowly heal. And this is sad, because we lose another piece of what we loved.Not sad for the loss, but sad for how we don't find it tragic anymore.

One of the new editorial assistants I hadn't met yet came into my office to drop off work, and I almost introduced myself using my derby name. "Hi, I'm... Megan." It sounded so strange coming out of my mouth, like I was introducing her to s

Except for a Friday night swapping stories with some derby girls, I spent most of this weekend in my apartment. I skipped a party and didn't really see or talk to anyone, but I was super-productive and it turned out to be one of the best weekends in
