Let's try this again...

So I feel the need to better introduce myself.

My dear friends Lara and Claire have this blog TrippingOnWords in which they plan to chronicle their year of traveling 'round the world. Their blog is extremely funny and already popular, and so I decided to hitch my wagon to theirs. Basically, I named my blog something that could only make sense in conjunction with their title, hereby guilting the girls into mentioning me. Because as Lara pointed out, if they refuse to acknowledge our connection - then I'm just some girl who apparently does drugs on her sofa.

So anyways, while Lara and Claire are gallivanting about faraway lands, I'm really just sitting tight here in San Francisco. Mainly on my couch. Cue the title.

More about me: I'm currently making a "living" (my bank account would debate that term) as a freelance writer. Truth be told, things are going decently and I have enough regular assignments to justify this job choice. I write for a few different pubs - Gentry Magazine, SF Downtown, and CAFE Magazine. Mostly restaurant reviews, with the occasional "I'll take a tango class so you don't have to" piece. And there's a book, but we'll get into that later.

I've got some friends, a roommate, a lovely boyfriend - all of whom I'll be plugging in due time.

For the most part, though, I plan to use this blog as a stage for my endless ramblings (someone out there is knowingly nodding - or shaking!?!? - their head). At the very least, I'll entertain myself. And my mom. She's already visited this site 36 times in the past three days and has promised to respond to each one of my posts.

Hi mom.
