Becoming Sometimes Vegetarians?
I’ve been thinking about vegetarianism for quite some time. A couple years. I’ve thought maybe by the time I get old and die, I’ll manage to become a vegetarian. I’ve done a lot of research. I know that it’s healthy to be one (provided, obviously, that you don’t only eat junk food), that people don’t need to eat meat for protein and such. I know it’s better for the environment. I know that the animals and people who are involved with factory farming and slaughterhouses get severely mistreated. At the same time, I don’t believe that eating meat and animal products is wrong. Although not necessary, animal and dairy products can be healthy parts of a healthy diet. My main reason for objecting is the way the animals are treated. … Read entire article »

5 Years of Living in San Francisco!
August marks my FIVE YEAR anniversary of moving to San Francisco! Yes, I realize that by now, August is basically over, but the whole blog renovation held up blog posting. Time has both flown by and at the same time I feel like I’ve been here forever! That also means this blog is over five yrs old, since I started it less than a year before I moved. Five years ago at the very end … Read entire article »
Welcome to the Soft Launch of WordPress Selfhosted Tantalizing Tidbits!!
Welcome to the brand new WordPress version of Tantalizing Tidbits!! Blogger has served me well for the past five plus years, but I’m done with it. I’m taking my blog to the NEXT LEVEL! I’ve written a lot over the years, chronicled my life, what’s been going on, what I’m interested in, etc., and I was getting pretty nervous…all of this was owned by google…they could delete it whenever they liked, and I’d be left with NOTHING! Plus, it seems like most people are moving their blogs over to wordpress these days. I thought about it. A long time. Months. Longer? What if my blogs got lost in the transition? But I did it! I have a self hosted wordpress blog now! Well, sorta. I was going to get it … Read entire article »

Finding my Place, as an Introvert
from now on, you’ll probably be seeing a lot of introvert related posts. since figuring out what an introvert actually is and that i am one, ive been devouring information online. The Introvert’s Corner blog has been like my bible. i’ve been reading post after post, and sometimes more importantly, all the reader’s comments. its awesome. its like i’m coming out as an introvert, only nothing about learning about girls, or other girls who like girls, has ever felt as familiar and resonated as much. i dont usually have much in common with ANYONE. i usually feel like i have no identity, in a world where everyone is generally boxed and labeled. i’m female, but females puzzle me. ya I am attracted … Read entire article »

Let’s all Learn about Introverts (Like me!) – A Must Read!
If I could change one thing about myself, it would be for me to enjoy being social. Just about everyone I know or hear about would rather spend their weekends and nights being around other people. This could be at bars, restaurants, parties, sporting events, get togethers, who knows what. People like being around other people. I’m an anomaly. Although I WANT to want to be around others all the time, it tires me out. It drains me. When I told my friend that other people literally suck the energy out of me, he thought I was being weird and overdramatic. I AM weird and overdramatic, but in this case, it’s true. After being around other people, I need time by myself to recharge. I need to retreat inward … Read entire article »

I’m an AUNTIE!
Almost 28 years ago (in june) my mother was pregnant with my sister. I had a little 2 yr old brother, but he had always gone out of his way to pull my hair or try and hurt me, so I was super excited to have a sister. Beth was late, so my parents decided to have her induced. Back then, we didn’t live very far from my grandparents, and my parents left us kids with them. Even though something really important was happening, I still had to go to school. I was sort of glad, because that was the day of our end of the year pool party, but I also didn’t want to go because this was more interesting. Still, I remember my nana dressing me in … Read entire article »
Results of Almost No Sugar – Will I Go Back or Not?
Almost 2 months ago, my roomie/best friend decided to give up sugar for two months. Since we share groceries and cook together, and since I don’t have a large sweet tooth, I decided to try his experiment, and do an almost no sugar for the same time. I wrote about this, and updated it. For maybe a week and a half out of this whole time, I’ve had sweetened soymilk, and I’ve had craisins in my sandwich every week day the whole time. Once I had sweetened hot chocolate, once I had a chocolate spritzer drink. Once I had a sweetened juice. I can’t remember the other times during these two months that I’ve eaten sugar, but I can tell you, there weren’t that many more. My friend has a … Read entire article »

I’m going to be a godmother!
If, by now, you don’t know that my sister is having a baby soon and i’m going to be an aunt, then you must be BRAND NEW to my blog, twitter, facebook, etc. My sister’s first child, my first niece, is special to me. What could be better, then, when the day after the shower my sister and brother in law got me on skype again, and asked me to be the baby’s godmother?! YAY! My own mother’s sister, my auntie jane, is my godmother, and auntie jane’s daughter, my cousin becky, is my mother’s goddaughter. My sister’s godmother is my father’s oldest sister, my auntie trudy. So i was a little bit hoping that beth would think of me when it came time to decide on who Lana’s godmother … Read entire article »
