Dear Stacy,
I haven’t lost my mind, really. I know you’re not going to be checking my website or anything, but I wanted to pay you tribute, and doing so in essay form seemed a little too stuffy and formal, which didn’t fit at all, so I’m going this route instead. It’ll work.
So. […]

For anyone who might be wondering if I fell off the face of the earth or if I was curled up in the fetal position on my bed or something, have no fear — here I am, still upright. It’s been an overwhelming few days, filled with tears and laughter and teary laughter and […]

Early this morning, I got a phone call to let me know that last night my best friend was killed in a car accident. Since then I’ve been in this relentless cycle of being lost and being doubled over with grief and being on the phone with people. I don’t know if it’s […]

Before I give in to any holiday-related schmaltz, I just want to take a moment to point out the picture accompanying this post. Not because of my hat, which I love, nor the cashmere scarf, which I also love because it proves the adage I made up two […]

Because there are things about me that you, the people, ask in a frequent manner (”frequent” being a relative term), and I thought that instead of answering these things individually (since I’m not big on answering things, especially if they come in e-mail form), I would create this FAQ, so I could just refer you, […]

I said in my post yesterday that I had been busy working on things and that I had stuff to show you, and boy (or girl), do I ever. In case you aren’t aware of this, I make bead and wirework jewelry. Earlier this week, I started the pain-in-the-ass-tastic task of putting several pieces up […]

After an irritating day in which I seal millions of envelopes and get told condescendingly that Firefox is a browser, there’s nothing I like more than posting the results of the second-ever jamelah.net contest. In order to go about the process of choosing a winning entry in an official and proper way, I enlisted […]

I’m generally a quiet, unassuming sort of person. I mostly keep to myself, cringe at compliments and hate the telephone with every fiber of my being. I like getting lost in crowds, and I don’t like it when people stare at me because it always makes me worry if I have something on […]

Dear Everyone Who Is Getting On My Nerves,
Listen. Depending on who you are, I
– don’t know
– don’t care
– don’t think you’re funny
– don’t want to talk about it
and I also
– think you’re an idiot
– think you’re getting a little too full of yourself
– think you’re in love with the sound of your own voice
– think […]

Okay people, here’s the deal:
It may seem perfectly obvious because of the relatively sudden drop in posting, but I’ve got some other stuff going on right now and I’m not really in the mood for blog. These things happen sometimes and that is that. Usually I’d just say “I’m going on vacation, and if […]
