Me me me
i think it would take longer than five minutes
This is me when I was 21. I look a lot different now. I mean, for one thing, since then I’ve managed to have the obelisk removed from my head. If you could go back in time and have a 5 minute conversation with yourself ten years ago, what would you say? Hi there, 21-year-old … Continue reading
i never can just answer a question
Right, I said I was writing more. So, hi. From The Daily Post today: Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or something else? I am something else. At least that’s what I hear. “That Jamelah,” they say, “she is something else.” Yeah. In the case of being an optimist or a pessimist, I am both … Continue reading
farewell, 2010
The end of every year always feels like a weird week of suspended animation. December comes, it’s all, oh snap! Christmas! and then Christmas happens and it’s everything you hoped and dreamed it would be or it’s moderately alright or it’s nothing close (personally I was mostly alone on Christmas and spent part of the … Continue reading
brilliant ideas i have
Sometimes I get an idea in my head and I have to do it right then. I guess that means I’m impulsive, which is kind of funny, because anybody who has ever been with me in a bookstore knows that I can take over an hour to make a decision. So I’m not impulsive. Except … Continue reading
thirty one
Well here it is, time once again for the annual introspective birthday post. I’m not sure how it got here already; didn’t I just have one of these birthday things a couple of months ago or something? It feels like it, but here I am, no longer 30 but instead 31. I am — oh … Continue reading
of tomatoes, memory, and broken computers (not in that order)
Well. I’ve been having an interesting summer. I sometimes catch myself in the middle of a moment — I’m outside at night, say, and the sky, not yet quite black, perhaps instead a dark velvety blue, is awash with stars, and there are fireflies twinkling in the grass, in the trees, and I look around … Continue reading
now with more boobs
I thought maybe when I finally decided to update my blog once again, it might be about something deep or important, but this is me we’re dealing with, so… really. Boobs. Of course. So, okay. I have boobs. Two of them. I’m mostly indifferent to them, because I’ve had them since I was 10, which … Continue reading
state of jamelah, state of the blog
It’s been awhile. At this point, I’m not even sure what to write, but I figure I’ll put something here, leave it like a note for anyone to find, if anyone wants to find it. I know it’s not really necessary to offer an explanation for my absence — sometimes I feel like blogging, and … Continue reading
on immortality and writing
Right now I’m reading Milan Kundera’s Immortality for the fifth time. I read it every fall, because it feels like it belongs to this time of year, and by now it’s a habit. Leaves change colors, and I pull Immortality off the shelf. When I first read the book, I’d been slowly reading my way … Continue reading
so hey
Here’s what’s going on with me. Tomorrow I’m shooting a wedding (don’t freak out… it’s with a camera) and I think I’ve gotten over my neurotic fit of I’M A HACK but I am still a little nervous about it, because you know, I think there are times when you can kind of get away … Continue reading
