I know the last couple blog posts made it seem as if I’m Suzie Super Social Butterfly. And while I’m definitely not Stay-At-Home-Sally, I’m no Suzie either. I’m Somewhere In the Middle Andrea (yeah, totally failed the alliteration on that one). I definitely like to be around people, but I need a little alone time [...]

When people would ask me what animal I’d want to be reincarnated as (a question that always pops up at once in a group of friends), I used to say a dog. I’ve reconsidered my answer. Not because I don’t still love dogs, or because that its a rather unoriginal answer. When I said I [...]

In exchange for a few hours of my time, I got to attend the Cultural Trust‘s 25th b-day bash at the Byham. There were cupcakes, dancing and drinks as strong as the Monongahela current. What more do [...]

I would admire records when we would go to used book stores, and unlike me, she started buying them. Its gotten [...]

I had a dream the other night that a panda was gnawing on my foot. When I woke up, my foot hurt. I ordered pizza and a salad from a local pizza place, but couldn’t decide on a dressing. “Our house dressing is quite popular,” she said. House dressing it is. Went out to dinner [...]

I saw Up yesterday and bawled my freaking eyes out. I didn’t hint at it the other day when I did my photo-heavy birthday post, but turning 24 was a little painful for me. It hit me pretty hard that my time left to be unsure about my life is evaporating. If I don’t point [...]
