Posted by beth on July 21, 2010

This is not necessarily a story I want to write with my life, but seeing as I do not have that post finished yet, and this just came up the other day, I figured I’d tell y’all about it.
I was talking to Emily Furr Hogan about that summer (I think it was ‘98) when we [...]

I’m excited about my upcoming move to Raleigh. I really am. And I know that it’s the absolute best thing for me right now in a lot of ways, but this weekend made me extra sad to leave Asheville.
Friday night, I had dinner with my friend Jen (aka Community), who is actually a friend from [...]

Posted by beth on June 24, 2010

I realized this morning that I’ve been neglecting my questions lately. I’m trying to find a balance between answering those and just telling you fun stories about what’s happening. For the most part, there aren’t a lot of fun stories about what’s happening because my days are spent sitting on my couch, writing articles, and [...]

Posted by beth on June 22, 2010

Lovers schmovers. I went to Virginia last weekend to see my friend Rachel and her daughter (my goddaughter), Annabelle. Annabelle turned 5 last week, so we had a birthday party, and it just so happened that her dance recital was the same weekend, so I got to go to that too. It was ridiculously cute. [...]

Posted by beth on June 16, 2010

I cut a jerk off (because he was being a jerk) at 3 mph. He honked at me to show his dissatisfaction. He then turned on his bright lights, I can only assume, to prove once again that he was a jerk.
On the side of the freeway, I saw one of those big, cylindrical spin [...]

Posted by beth on June 15, 2010

I’m writing an article for YourDictionary entitled “Who Is Jimmy Fallon’s Wife?” I love writing these who’s-married-to-whom articles because there’s always a love story involved, and I just think that’s precious. Unfortunately, not much of J.Fal’s love story is online. And yes, I just nicknamed him J.Fal. What of it?
So I just tweeted, “I need [...]

title pic Have you ever…?

Posted by beth on June 11, 2010

Today, I have a story for you. Rather than answering a question, it’s a story about a question I was asked yesterday. I was on the phone with DLF on my way to work, and sort of out of nowhere, she asked me, “Have you ever taught drunk?”
Now let’s take a break from the actual [...]

Posted by beth on April 13, 2010

Today’s question comes from my formspring page. I’m not sure if someone actually asked me this, or if maybe formspring just felt bad for me because no one was asking me anything, so they threw one out there for me to answer. I don’t really care. It’s a good question.
What are your long-term plans in [...]

Posted by beth on March 23, 2010

If you haven’t already guessed, “Census: Day 2″ was AKA’d as Ode to a Government Pen. Here’s what happened today.
The whole time I’m sitting there at the community center, there’s an after-school program going on. The first day, the kids basically ignored me, but now they’re more and more curious about what I’m doing there. [...]

Posted by beth on December 13, 2009

I arrived in Zurich rather late and realized immediately that I’d forgotten that I don’t speak German. Not a bit. I don’t know how to say “train station” or “airport” or “hostel” or “help.” And yet there I was trying to figure out how to get from the airport to the main station so I [...]
