The Contents Of Mihow: An Autobiography of songs (Version 2.0)
I had just moved to New York City all by my big self. I got an apartment in Brooklyn. I worked for a crazy lesbian woman at a design studio in Mid-town, a block from Penn Station. I didn’t fit in. But that had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I didn’t like going…

One Weak.
We’ve been here for one week’s time. As of yesterday evening actually. I was offered a job yesterday. At first, I was overjoyed with having them interested. And for the most part, I still am. I have gone on two interviews with them. The first one went smooth as pie and I liked both individuals…

Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
Today, there are numerous people trickling in from out of town for Toby and my post-wedding/now going-away party. And I’m excited. Even though I anticipate crying often, realizing this is the last time I’ll see many of them for a while. I always cry. I cried last night during ER (again). I just really dread…

Finding My Wa.
Last night Toby and I went out for dinner with Keith and Marjorie. Keith has a PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University. Marjorie is a doctor. Toby is a programmer. I am a graphic designer. This information is totally irrelevant. Last night, after we had dinner, the three of us headed over to The Reef…

You Can Count on No.
Due to spreading myself too thin and my total inability to use the word “No.” I have managed to confuse and/or create new and uncomfortable relationships up and down the U Street/Logan Circle/Dupont Circle area. The Gap-wearing hippies I mentioned some time ago (you know the ones who have asked for 6 revisions and have…

Here's to my new boobs.
For the past week, I have spent much of the time going back and forth between wanting to take a full time job (which was offered to me without my asking), wanting to stick to running my own business and relaxing a bit (once this crazy semester ends), and wanting to pack everything up and…

State College
Toby and I are visiting good ol’ State College tomorrow. We’re going to see the Graphic Design department at Penn State put on their annual Film Follies. That should be fun. I wonder if anyone from my class will be there. I think Toby is only going to play pool with Todd at the Garage…

What good can come from this?
Well, we have finally signed a contract regarding our post wedding party. And go figure, we’re only four months late. Nothing says we’re married! like a four-month old newsletter. Another job on mihow’s list: Design Invitations Immediately. (Only question is, what are they to be? I’m a designer. That means I have to design and…

The Contents of mihow: An Autobiography of Songs (Day Five)
I’m 6. I’m in our brown, custom-designed van, wall-to-wall carpeting, lights everywhere. I can stand up, proper, without touching the ceiling. I am pleased by this ability until I realize it means I’m smaller than my brother, whose head hits it. It doesn’t matter anymore anyway because ever since battery acid leaked in the van…
