So last night was my 10-year high school reunion. I graduated from Lowell High School on June 11th, 2000 with some honors cords and in the company of my best friends. (I only remember the date because it was my father’s birthday.) In typical Lowell fashion of subpar class, the reunion was at Buddy and [...]

I found it so hard today to get any work done. In the morning I had met up with Rahsaan and James at Uptown Cafe here in Valpo. James was nice enough to buy us unemployed people a sweet chai tea and some breakfast. Some other ex-coworkers were at the cafe as well, moseying inside [...]

Or with men for that matter. I have a video from today, but it’s late and I’m tired and I’m really not in the mood to edit it, so I figure it’d be best to come back to it tomorrow. I don’t work well with a fuzz-tipped mind. No one wants a half-assed video. I’ll [...]

I friend of mine gave me a bag of old clothes recently. I love getting new clothes, even if they were worn by other people. It’s exciting to me, knowing that I now can enjoy jeans and shirts that my friends once loved. I’m wearing a pair of her old jeans right now and they [...]

I stopped at Molly Bea’s Ingredients after work today for a much-needed ingredient adventure. It’s such a fabulous store, filled with delicious candies, loose teas, coffee beans, spices, organic flours, pastas and so much more. It takes awhile to wrap your mind around all they have. I’ve been purchasing ingredients for my baking there a [...]

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.
