– Patra, on navigating real life situations.
Everything is complicated and nothing is simple.
Edit to add: Except this is actually ridiculously simple.

Tracking Santa can be complicated
Patra: I was watching the Santa tracker online, and Santa was in Hawaii for like 2 hours!! He was in Chicago for like two seconds. There are way more people in Illinois than Hawaii.
Me: Right, but Hawaii is an island. People live in volcanoes there. It takes a little longer to navigate.

Scotland trip update.
I’ll be going Chicago (O’Hare) to New York (La Guardia) early on the Saturday my spring break starts. I’ll spend the bulk of that day in NYC and head over to JFK in the evening, from whence I will fly to London overnight, then futz around London for a bit (or just the airport, depending on how long my layover is) until I fly to Edinburgh to eventually get to St. Andrews to spend...

Does anyone want a Christmas card?
I’m trying to get rid of the extras of our family Christmas cards so they can’t come back to haunt me in unexpected ways.
Also, like last year, I’m handmaking some cards when I get back to school in a week and a half. They won’t be Christmas-y, just an excuse for me to do some crafting and spread some cheer. So if you want either or both of those things, drop an address in...

I was going to
do an “about” post when I got past 300 followers, and I’ve been at that point for like two weeks and have yet to think of anything clever to say.
Which is sad because I am real sick of the about section on my page as well.
Eventually, the cleverness of me will return….I hope.
EDIT: instead, I’m going to work on 2011 in pictures and planning my trip to Scotland

Dad: Who's....Robert Pattinson?
Patra: Seriously?
Patra: He's the male lead in those Twilight movies.
Mom: And he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter.
Me: How do you not know this?
Dad: I don't know, I just don't.
Dad: But now I do.
Dad: Okay, now who is Kristen Stewart?

Things about me that have pretty much been the...
I am stubbornly independent
I like pizza
And chocolate
I value personal time and space
I am pretty damn organized and I rely heavily on that organization
All of this adds up to…don’t touch or move my stuff, especially without telling asking me first. In doing so, you may as well have removed my arm or my eyes just as simply and said “oh, it’s somewhere, I moved...

Dear Sophia Maria,
Every single time you’re back in town, you make the mistake of driving down Route 30. Within 2 seconds, you realize how stupid this is and think to yourself, “Damn, this has been shitty and construction-y since July, I should probably stop driving this way. I told myself this last time, but this time I’m gonna remember to not do it again.” But you do it again and again,...
