The summer before I started high school, my dad got news that we were going to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan. So that May or June, we packed up our entire lives and got on a plane in the United States and got off the plan in Japan. And you know... at first, living there… Continue reading 153.

144. Even your favorite song will get on your nerves if you keep it on repeat too long (PS: this is true of everything else, too!)
They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over again expecting different results. Well, I don't know who "they" is, but whoever they are, I think they may have had a Second Life account at some point. I've spent most of the past few days in such a state of… Continue reading 144.

124. How to… stop and smell the flowers.
Some days, you just need to chuck it all into the f**k it bucket, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that tomorrow is another day. Today has been one of those days for me, but I'm so thankful for some good friends and family in the real world as well as in Second Life… Continue reading 124. How to… stop and smell the flowers.
123. How to… do your best.
Let's be honest here: Sometimes, the biggest, adultiest thing that you're going to be able to do in a day is get yourself out of bed in the morning. And you know what? If that's you today, or if it was you yesterday... if you have a sneaking suspicion that it could be you tomorrow… Continue reading 123. How to… do your best.
107. How to… test your luck.
You guys have all seen Finding Nemo, right? Remember Dory? "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! What do we do? We swim!" Ironically enough, when the chaos is at it's peak in either world, this is what pops into my head. In part, I guess, because it always made me… Continue reading 107. How to… test your luck.
93. How to… show your true colors.
I think so many people use that expression about showing someone's true colors in a negative light, and since I wanted to play a bit in Photoshop today and I also want to add some positive vibes in your afternoon, we're going to flip that script on its head and talk about how wonderful and… Continue reading 93. How to… show your true colors.
92. How to… recover.
I'm back from vacation, y'all, and I survived. Unless you count the nine million bug bites and the weird urge to sleep for two days despite absolutely no time change between my grandparents' house and mine... In any case, I managed to escape with what remains of my sanity (mostly) intact, and I'm glad to… Continue reading 92. How to… recover.
77. How to… take control.
Sometimes, life just likes to kick you a few times. There are people who will say that we are in control of our own destinies. These are often the same people who will tell those suffering from depression that they simply need to smile more. Partly, they are right: we are in control of our… Continue reading 77. How to… take control.
56. How to…give ’em everything… and survive.
Pssst. Here's the secret: it requires a baseball bat. But not really. See, the thing about relationships in both worlds is that we're people, and people are flawed, scared, and sometimes dumb animals who will often bite the metaphorical hand that feeds them. It happens sometimes... more than any of us would like to admit.… Continue reading 56. How to…give ’em everything… and survive.
55. How to… fix it.
So, I was feeling some pretty strong Rosie the Riveter vibes from this new Vinyl release. #sorrynotsorry, but I had to go for it. But of course, since I was super excited about something, literally everything went wrong. That's how it goes, right? My avatar didn't want to rez, shadows weren't behaving... I'm getting this… Continue reading 55. How to… fix it.
