Written with new writings by Nichole
This weekend was madness. I had STEM training with Discoveries Unlimited all day Saturday. It was fun, yet also prepared me for some of the excitement and possible… pitfalls? I don’t want to say pitfalls because that sounds odd, but with humans I guess you never know what will happen. Everything that day was made [...]

Written with pride for my sister by Nichole
I took the day off today to watch my sister graduate college with orange hair and honors cords. She has her undergrad in psychology now, will soon move on to graduate school and eventually obtain her doctorate. It’s wild. Someone in our family wants to be a doctor. And here I was just happy with [...]

Things went a lot better than I thought they would. I think I have my sister to thank, in some ways. I love you mom. Oh, and I love Modelo Negra too.

Written with smudgy fingers by Nichole
My brother, who is beyond creative and ever-motivated, organized an art party with our family last night, where everything we made that evening would go home with him and into a zine. We’re all on a zine kick. Awesome. I love hanging out with my family, eating good food and now we can enjoy the [...]

Written with a lot of soup by Nichole
Since I worked on Saturday, I took today to go to my parents’ house and make soup with my dad. I had a bunch of vegetable stock I made that I had to start using up, and I thought making a soup with my father would be the perfect thing. We love making soup together. [...]

About Nichole the not-so-starving artist from Northwest Indiana
I quit my job to be a full-time writer! I'm also a web designer, gamer and a level 12 necromancer-in-training, sort of. I cook like a mo-fo and bake when the mood strikes me. Angel food cake is a specialty. I make choices in life by rolling percentile dice. TV is lame, so I watch Let's Plays. My iPod is filled with video game soundtracks. I support local commerce by shopping local and supporting the emerging artists in my community.
@ripsup I tried those once. I didn't like the decorative beads. That's why I switched the the BloodCup. in reply to ripsup 13 mins ago
