There's a very nice woman in my apartment complex who has become a good friend for Umi. They sit outside at night and chat, check in on each other when I'm not around...and when I am, and text each other almost every day even though they live roughly 200 feet from one another. Yes, it's… Continue reading Pay It Forward

Alas Poor Jinxie…
I'm just exhausted from the past weekend. Let me tell you why... Last Wednesday afternoon, I left for Chicago to spend the weekend working the Zombie Survival Crew booth at the Wizard World Comic Convention, since, y'know, I designed most of the ZSC gear, and because I hadn't been to one of these things since… Continue reading Alas Poor Jinxie…
28 Days
No, I'm not talking about the Sandra Bullock movie, nor am I speaking of 28 Days Later, which everyone thought was a sequel to the Sandra Bullock movie. Boy, did they ever get a surprise! Come to think of it, it very well could have been a sequel....but that's not my point. I'm doing a… Continue reading 28 Days
Updates and #Stuff
Hi. I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update as to what I've been up to lately. 🙂 Homework--it has buried me and I'm in the midst of Shakespeare's damn sonnets (which I actually do love) and mid-terms. I've already completed my Anthropology mid-term, but still have my English mid-term to take by… Continue reading Updates and #Stuff

Let’s Keep it Real
Last week, I received a belated birthday card in the mail from my friend Deni and her boyfriend J. It's such an awesome card, that I feel the need to share its message with you. The words on this card truly express my friendship with Deni over the last ten or so years, and if… Continue reading Let’s Keep it Real
A is for Apple
It's back to school time for Jinxie! That's right, I have officially begun my classes, the first two of which are a seminar in Shakespeare (one of my fave topics) and Intro to Anthropology (another fave topic). These are both 8-week courses and I have five more to take by December. What does this mean… Continue reading A is for Apple
What is Your Passion?
Today, I welcome a good friend, fellow writer and author, and just an awesome gal all around, Missy Jane, and she is going to discuss her passion(s). Makes sense, right? Romance author = passion. I mean, hell, look at that HOT cover below! *ahem* Take it away, Missy! It’s a given that writers are also… Continue reading What is Your Passion?
What I Need
Most of you know, especially if you follow me on Twitter or are a Facebook friend, the kind of week and a half I've had. My paternal grandmother passed away on June 11th, two days before my birthday, and I spent my birthday at the mortuary and cemetery planning g-ma's services with my uncle, as… Continue reading What I Need
The Last One
My last grandparent died on Saturday morning around five o'clock. You've seen me talk about her a lot. I call her G-ma. She's the only grandparent I had left since 2003 when my other grandmother (on Umi's side) passed away. She died on grandpa's birthday, August 31st. Before her, grandpa died in February 1995, two… Continue reading The Last One
