i'll refrain from playing the tormented victim of adolescence as such but it would behoove me to do so. my son is now mid-high school and he has not yet grasped the importance of these years. maybe it was only important to me. but those friends i sat with at the lunch table are pretty much the same ones i'd gather to a table once again. i never quite melded with the dynamics elsewhere but i sure did my best to float around and stay diplomatic. sure this did not prevent me from getting bullied, getting my heart broken, or having a baby at 16 but at least i survived what i consider to be the toughest part of adulthood - the formative years when we have no choice but to reconcile our pasts, plan for what's ahead, and let go of all the crap that preceded.

from my lush homeland to the city by the bay and into the far reaches of the suburbs, i've made my home twice. it was fun in my 20's and even better in my 30's. documenting it all makes me feel important (to myself). here you'll find my multi-tasking adventures with food and the fashionable, my love affair with my dvr, an occasional moment of profound thought, a lot of useless yet laughable ranting, and lately stuff about my life in constant re-arrangement. i'm only fab-ulous because it's in my name.
