one year later.....

so i started this blog a year ago in austin, texas, fresh from finishing school @ the university of texas. since then i have moved to brooklyn & started working as a researcher for human rights campaigns in manhattan & as a writer for an art gallery in SoHo/NoLita. it sounds much more romantic than it was, but i sold my possessions & got on a plane, one way to laguardia with two checked bags & two carry-ons. i started this blog mostly out of boredom, with no real outline for what i wanted to say. and not much has changed in a year. new city, officially in my mid-twenties. but i thought it might be fun to catalog the funny things that happen on the streets of new york (through the wide eyes of a girl from texas) & the state of a deeply divided leading nation in the midst of a world-wide crisis (based on the opinions of a youthful post-graduate).
