Written with a lost of things by Nichole
Haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been living life as much as I can, though I will admit my lack of blogging has been touched with a smidgen of laziness. Here is a quick rundown of what I’ve been doing, if anyone really cares. Had a wonderful night to eat, drink and be merry with [...]
Magical adventures at the Chicago Printer’s Ball – Day 172

Written with ADVENTURE! by Nichole
I had never gone to the Printer’s Ball in Chicago before. Rahsaan and Mary have been a few times, and those few times they always had some pretty great stories to share. There’s always a lot of free reading materials (which I will probably just cut up for zines), lots of people to talk to, [...]

Written with feeling apologetic by Nichole
As some have noted, I haven’t updated in awhile. Ten days to be exact. Why? This past Friday I had finished my contracting job with a local company. I guess the last week or so I’ve been a little unmotivated to blog once I made it home from work. I tend to get wrapped up [...]

Written with butterflies on sparkles by Nichole
I was reading this zine called Not Lonely. It’s from a girl out of Scotland who writes in a pleasant, conversational tone about some of the bigger choices she’s made in life, like choosing not to drink, not getting married to her partner despite social expectations, and dropping the bipolar meds from her daily routine. [...]
Guilty – Day 146

Written with guilt by Nichole
I have a horrible habit of feeling guilty. When I’ve done things to hurt others, I feel guilty, and rightfully so. However, I feel guilty for many things I probably shouldn’t even feel guilty about. This week is a good example. The place I’m contracting for had given me this past week off, and so [...]
I really admire Tracy – Day 99

Written with admiration by Nichole
Just recently I’ve found that my friend Tracy keeps a journal called Ecstasy’s Lament: A Bipolar Blog. I read a lot of it one night and felt a little upset with myself. Here was a woman I worked with, who shared a wave and laughter and stories and lotion with me for months, and I [...]

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 They would have to dump the contents of it out first. I guess they could always paint with it like some women do. in reply to ripsup 7 mins ago
