Hello StreetArticles community!
About Me:
I am an English major undergrad, and plan to make a career out of writing. However, that and a $1.75 won't buy me a Latte :)
In Virginia Woolf's novel "A Room of One's Own", she makes it clear, that a woman must have money, and a room of one's own in order to write fiction. I have a room, but am finding the money part a little harder to achieve.
I am an avid reader as well as writer. I enjoy museums, Archaeology, and science. I am a little bit of a nerd, and I just love the "The Big Bang Theory".
I live in the city of Portland, and the university is in my backyard. "Portlandia" is also a favorite, what makes this show so funny, is that it is by and large true :)
I will leave with a final thought: "Writing is easy, you just sit down at a typewriter and bleed"--Hemmingway

My boyfriend met me at the train station, after a very long day. I had just started college, a whirlwind of frantic activity, leaving me completely drained, and not in the mood to cook at all. We stopped at the grocery store intent on the evening meal, something without a…
What appears at first sight to be nothing more than a proverbial hole in the wall, located on 151 N Main Street, in Sheridan, Wyoming, sits the Mint Bar, formally known as the Mint Saloon. Established in 1894, the saloon did not actually open its doors until 1907. The bar…
Having recently moved from Florida, my idealized vision of life in Colorado was unceremoniously shattered when we found ourselves in the middle of a concrete nightmare, eight lanes deep. I had never experienced anything like it. Boxed in on all sides, bumper-to-bumper, traffic going at least seventy miles per hour.…
The crack of thunder always followed the bright flash of lighting. Zeus was busy throwing thunderbolts into rain clouds. The clouds opened up as if giants were pouring great buckets of water over the edge, the rain fell in sheets instead of drops. When the cool rain hit the scalding…
Get paid to shop, dine out, and go the movies! Sounds great, does it not? Like a dream come true, you can do what you love doing, only get paid for it...
My wife tried this one. She found the site via all the spam that habitually bombards our inbox,…
I remember the backpack very well, but it wasn’t out of some sense of fashion that I carried one. I was shopping in a Wal-Mart, one day long ago in Orlando, Florida, when my two-year-old son decided to run off. While I was chasing him down, a thief lifted my…
