I’m bold! BOLD, I tell you!
I quit my job last summer as a journalist – a great job, I might add, as I was the resident restaurant critic and a features writer – to attend grad school fulltime. I’m pursuing something wildly impractical and wildly wonderful – fiction writing – and working on getting my first novel written as my thesis.

i’m bold and… well, bold! when i was 39 weeks pregnant, i chopped all my hair off (from mid back to mia farrow) because i was sick of it. then i grew it all out, and cut it all off again to donate to charity. me and my best friend (no romantic feelings towards each other at all – completely platonic) decided to get married because we never wanted to stop being best friends. in 6 weeks we threw together a wedding, and it’s now been 10 years. i think we made the right choice.
