Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Do you ever get home from something in the middle of the day, have a few hours to kill and think, “You know what I want to do? I want to do this super random thing that I haven’t done in a long time?” This was me yesterday afternoon after a coffee date with a […]
When I was in my senior year of college I had a professor who was hard core into writing. Like he wrote so much his hands cramped up and he had to use one of those speech to text programs to continue. He had calmed down by the time he was my professor, but he […]
Homecoming is a very special time of year. I never got homecoming for high schools, probably because I went to a high school without a football team and with very few alumni at the time. Still, the idea of going to back to high school to watch a foot ball game is so foreign to […]
I was reminded several times on Saturday, by my poor sick husband, that I am now old. Or, at least, older than I was. I turned 24. This means that I’ve caught up to my husband, at least for the next five months or so. Looking back at my memories on Saturday and the days […]

Three years ago I got a little plushy of Captain America that I found in Hot Topic. For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge fan of Captain America. Why I latched onto him, I don’t rightly know. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s from the 40s, like legit from the 40s. […]
I stood drinking water in the cool of the church fellowship hall, waiting for the men to come in for lunch after a long morning of church maintenance. I was dressed, as one would expect, in ripped jeans, an old T-shirt and my purple converse. One of the teenage boys sat at the table and […]
I was recently mentioned in a blog post by my Twirls on her love affair with Kingdom Hearts, which I am responsible for. In her post she states “I don’t remember how it started, but we ended up having regular Kingdom Hearts dates; she’d play while I watched.” As I read this I thought, “I know […]
