		<title>Because Maybe Third Time Will Be The Charm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, as I have done two previous times in my life, I asked when I was pretty sure of the answer. I had put off asking, because I was both pretty sure of the answer and unwilling to disturb the status quo. Because I kind of like having a roommate who treats me like a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part of me wants to ask questions. Because my brain, naturally inclined to over thinking and over analyzing, really needs answers. For peace. But part of me refuses to ask the questions. Because I&#8217;m afraid of the answers. If I ask, and find my fears a reality I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ll do. For now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hating on the GOP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The political issue that&#8217;s been bothering me the past few months is the war on birth control. As a &#8220;good libertarian&#8221; I&#8217;m torn on the requiring insurance to cover birth control issue, because I&#8217;m already torn on health insurance issues in general. But as it stands, and health insurance is what it is, and if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fear the Escalators and Stay Inside!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It exists as noise. Almost like a buzzing. That&#8217;s the only way I can describe it. That, and this weird detachment. You&#8217;re there, but you&#8217;re not. You are seeing the most ordinary, day-to-day things, but its if they&#8217;re on a whole different plane of existence. About a month ago I was taking the Metro from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Lost My Job&#8221; Escape Trip: Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chicago with the sibling was fun. He put up with my desire to find quirky stores, because I want to find some very simple decor objects for my bedroom. We went to the zoo and watched the tiger and bobcat for an excessive amount of time. We ate a lot of good food. We watched [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Lost My Job&#8221; Escape Trip: Part One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at my brother&#8217;s place in Chicago. Chicago &#8211; the city I hate because of the nine months I spent hiding in Hyde Park, drinking cheap vodka, and trying to be a grad student.  I had a great time in Minnesota with David and Ellie. There was gossiping about Message-Board-of-Note, and heart to hearts, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Is Me Being Optimistic Because I Can Do That Sometimes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It feels like a break-up. That&#8217;s the closest emotion I can conjure up. When you go through a break-up, you have the immediate, initial reaction of tears, and then you pull yourself together, and then you freak out about feeling somewhat okay, because things are not okay. I am wearing old jeans and a sweatshirt [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Ode to Bad Decisions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I got the job offer for The-Job-That-Wasn&#8217;t 2.0 I was in the West Village, in a Starbucks. It&#8217;d been a frantic few days, since Keithers needed to know like, last week whether he was looking for a studio or a 2 bedroom. A tiny little voice inside of me said &#8220;don&#8217;t do it.&#8221;  I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Leave Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first nine months of 2010 were mostly smooth sailing. It&#8217;s true I was obsessed with escape; I wanted out of Jersey, and I wanted into DC, I wanted out of the &#8220;assistant trap&#8221; of my then current job and into something more &#8220;career oriented.&#8221; But I was okay. My job itself had few faults, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Riddance (Not The Time Of Your Life)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear 2011, Fuck you. Seriously. Fuck. You. You have been nothing short of awful. In you, I have self-sabotaged, beaten myself down, and killed every good thing that could have come out of you. You are awful. You are almost a totally worthless waste of a year. You don&#8217;t even get to take credit for [...]]]></description>
