Written with the BURN by Nichole
I’ve adopted a new workout schedule. When I come home from work, I change into shorts and a tanktop or whatever I have that’s handy and comfortable, grab a tumbler of water, and catch up on my HCBailly Let’s Plays. Currently he’s running through Final Fantasy VIII and Link’s Awakening, both of which I am [...]

Written with a want to change by Nichole
You should never expect things to fall in your lap, especially something as complicated as change. I have an extreme fear of intimate relationships, primarily with men. Shocking? While I have always loved on the basis of a person rather than on the basis of gender, I’ve oftentimes wondered if I gravitated towards women because [...]

Written with reflection by Nichole
Mary and went walking on the beach last weekend. We saw the sunset. We talked about everyday things. Meaningful things. Silly things. It didn’t matter. We were in good company. Staring at Lake Michigan, with sand in between my toes and sneakers stuffed with smelly socks in my hand, I thought about how I take [...]

Written with my painting on the wall by Nichole
This morning I drove to Tracy’s house to buy a painting. A few months ago, I had seen her work on a website and fell in love. I didn’t even know she painted. I didn’t know a lot of things about Tracy then. I still don’t. She’s an enigma, a very cool woman. I hope, [...]

Written with renewed self-confidence by Nichole
The last time Courtney and I went dancing at Neo we did a lot of people watching midst our short dancing breaks. Sweaty and panting for breath, we’d move to a table, washed in the glow of a single candle, and just watch people on the floor twist, stomp and jump. There was one girl [...]

Written with a little fear by Nichole
After taking care of things around the apartment this morning—cleaning, bills and whatnot—I decided to have an adventure at Uptown Cafe and write for awhile. I took one of my journals with me, because I wanted to get the next chapter of this memoir thing absolutely right. I stared at the blank pages for awhile, [...]

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
