It just figures
Growing up in the land of perpetual rain (or at least around it), you’d expect a girl like me to know better than to keep my car windows open under the threat of showers. And for the most part I do. Back home, I’d only been caught with my windows down (not my pants, or I [...]
Dating: nothing more than a second job?
“If a journalist’s lede is his pick-up line, then his nut graf is when he asks for your number – it’s the point where he seals the deal or not.” -Nut grafs from Stuff Journalists Like I never thought of it that way but now that I have, it makes perfect sense. In an article, [...]
Sammi’s plans on what to say
I’ve been doing some thinking about my blog and what kind of stuff I want to write about–especially with this 30-day challenge. It’s hard coming up with new stuff and I’ll admit during this challenge, I’ve used old poems and old homework assignments and have even copped out. I’m going to try to keep it to a [...]
A short trip down memory lane and a slight bout of homesickness
Welcome to Starbucks As I walk up Pike Place from Stewart to Virginia, I’m not met with the usual confusion I’ve come to associate with Seattle’s Pike Place Market. However, there is still that definite energy in the air that always hits me whenever I walk streets lined with produce stands, restaurants and shops. It’s [...]
I’ve been here how long? Really?
Today is the six-month anniversary of my move to Idaho Falls. Exactly half a year ago, my sister and I were driving through Washington, Oregon and Idaho as I ventured off to start my new job. It’s one of those things where it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long but it also feels like I’ve [...]
The price of beauty…
…yeah, not really sure it’s worth it. My sister’s best friend is getting married next month and she invited me. It’s in Cozumel, Mexico so of course I’m going to say yes. Why wouldn’t I? Well, after I said yes, I realized I would need to get a dress for the occasion. I already have a [...]
Ah young love, where are you now?
Last night (it’s past midnight, so technically, it would be last night) I received a message on Facebook. I didn’t know this person and he didn’t know me but he thought (and hoped) he might. Here’s how our message conversation went: Him: Is this the Samantha Pak who went to Buena Vista Elementary? Me: I’m sorry but no. I went [...]
I’m on deadline…
…which is why this isn’t going to be a very worthy post. Procrastination always, always, always comes back to bite me in the ass. Why don’t I ever learn? And why does it always, always, always happen on TV night?! I’ll try to write more later but no guarantees. In the meantime, happy Thursday!
Sammi’s ultimate playlist
Since I started this 30-day challenge, I’ve been doing a lot of lists. I’ve done my goals for the year, my dream interviews…okay so I guess I’ve only done two. But I’m adding another one so here’s list number three: my ultimate playlist. Here’s a list of songs I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of [...]
Move over Cera, the next Superbad star is born!
I’ve recently joined 20 Something Bloggers as a way to up my traffic and find new people to read. Part of the site, like Facebook, are groups you can join and meet people online with similar interests. Well, I joined one for Arrested Development (honestly, one of the best shows of all time). On one of the [...]
