Place Essay: A Walk Through the Grass

Just a little something I was inspired to write (admittedly, when I should have been doing my homework >.>)
Feedback is appreciated~

A Walk Through the Grass
The wall of pine trees, the grassy lawn, the fading blue sky overhead, and the white wind: all appeared and welcomed me at the same time. They greeted me, embraced me, [...]

Even Ground

Do you know why I quit Myspace? It’s quite simple, actually: I got tired of putting people on my top friends when I wasn’t on theirs and having to worry if I was doing the same to other people. I don’t like putting effort into a one-sided relationship; I’m sure you know what I mean.
I’m [...]

I should be a Samurai.

I’ve frequently thought I was born in the wrong time period. I dreamed of the medieval times as soon as I was introduced to them, and played at being the chivalrous knight in my make-believe games. As I got older, I found that the romanticized idea of chivalry, and being able to redeem your honor [...]

Wander Later, Study Now

Since I was young, I’ve always imagined myself traveling around later in life, kind of like the romanticized vagrant. My parents would laugh if I told them this seeing as how I hated family vacations and have skipped out on the last few. But I’ve always thought that writing about something is easier to do [...]

Multicultural Shopping Malls, huh?

I was at The Factory Stores (or whatever it’s called now) a couple days ago and was walking around when the mall greeting came over the loudspeakers. In Japanese. I was amused by that for a good while.

A Season of Lost Loves and Friendships

Have you ever said goodbye to a good friend? It’s hard to let go of shared memories, moving on and changing, accepting that you’re losing something close to you.

Beauties x Geeks: Reality or not?

Apparently, there’s a show called “Beauty and the Geek” where beautiful girls get paired with nerdy guys. My question is, how realistic is this kind of situation? Does it happen and how does it turn out?
The best example I can think of for this kind of situation was in the J-Drama “Densha Otoko,” where an [...]

I can be an editor…?

I’m in a state of shock right now. So much shock that I’m abusing my work privileges and writing this instead of the article I’m supposed to.
I was just told that I have the skills to be an editor. By Karen Spears Zacharias: a successful writer and journalist.
That may not seem like a huge thing,  [...]

When was the last time you surprised yourself?

Well, I’d have to say within the last 30 seconds was the last time I surprised myself. I WAS working on the editorial I have to write for homework and totally forgot about it because blogging has become fun…and that doesn’t sound lame or anything. >.>
Upon seriously considering the question, however, I think that if [...]

Reasons Why it Sucks to be Single

I’ve been thinking about a topic I want to write on for about a month now: 10 reasons why it sucks to be single. I haven’t been thinking about it constantly, but it’s always lurked at the back of my mind, rearing its head in my more solitary moments.
I never thought I’d get someone else’s [...]
