Distances
Roof top party above Times Square, we were hoping Jay-Z and Beyonce would come. The day before I had received a gift bag from Mary. J Blige. Two bottles of Belvedere vodka, I gave it to my mom. One book about a famous glass company, I gave that to my boyfriend. Other gifts, can’t remember. It was hot that day. I wore a dress from Bloomingdales and Tory Burch shoes. Male co-workers wore Neff...
This morning at breakfast I was thinking about that time I got hit by a car. At first I thought, that was 4 years ago. And then I realized, no, that was almost 7 years ago. When I was a teenager, each year seemed so different and distinct. A year seemed like a long time. Now, I can hardly believe particular events were almost a decade ago. Is this what happens when you get old?, plots on your...

On that incident
I was imagining I would probably reflect about religion tonight. My roommates and I went to a night time church service wherein we all listened to monks chanting and singing. We were all silent. I imagined I would write about how confused I am spiritually and how I wish I were one of those people that could say I was Christian, or Jewish, or something. But instead, I’m thinking about what...

Best. Headshot. Ever.
stories/relations
The way I communicate is through stories. That story that explains how I started going into a downward spiral of drinking, that story that defines my family, that story that shows how I am connected to this person or that person. Sometimes I get self conscious about how I connect with people (through stories) because it can come across as one-uping. But it’s just how I relate to others.

A letter to Rich's Wife
It’s been almost a year. Yesterday, I crouched next to Mariah, my housemate whom I have known for just over 2 months, and listened while she talked about her late mother. My hair was wet, and I couldn’t help but notice Mariah’s tears caught in her eyelashes. She asked us to tell her a joke, and I couldn’t think of anything. All I could think about was where I was, a year...
danceingnaked asked: Hi Julia, I wanted to ask you a question, but Ben didn't give me one to ask. tis all. :)
rileypetersattler asked: what are you reading currently? what's on your bookshelf?
Nobody has ever asked me a question. Le sigh.

Mirages/Acts
This morning I didn’t feel like getting up and going straight to work. I was tired from staying up far too late. So, I emailed my bosses and told them I was going to one of our distribution sites to meet some people and walk around. I didn’t have a plan of what I was going to say or do or my excuse to be there. Sun out, mountains visible, trees felling, and bus running on time, I got to first AME....

I’m glad to have consistency. I’m glad to express. I’m glad to talk and listen. I list these four items because I’ve been noticing them develop through out the months of being single. When I was in a relationship, I sometimes would ask my (ex)boyfriend to tell a story for me, to talk for me, to express for me. I think I was afraid of messing up a story or not being able to...
Aint nothin' like the real thing
The other day I smoked with a friend. I know you’re thinking — ehh Julia you shouldn’t post this stuff on the internet. However, marijuana laws in Washington are very minimal and I have so few vices (I don’t drink, I hardly smoke, I don’t smoke cigarettes, I volunteer, and I generally think I have a well balanced lifestyle, that the occasional smoke is hardly a...
