The probable answer is no, but either way, CHANGES! NEW FUN! I've been pretty silent over here, but I'm back and a bit better. It was time for some new and improved fun, and it turned into a mini website project (did I tell you learning to code is my 2012 goal?)<br />
Visit me at <a href="http://www.bonjournicole.com/">www.bonjournicole.com</a> where I'll be writing, posting photos, and sharing news about projects, friends, and maybe even a little about that time I got married.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07881530997595434418noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875411744469144182.post-13542014567512775992011-12-24T00:25:00.000-05:002011-12-24T00:26:20.298-05:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Manhattan has been amazingly beautiful lately. It doesn't hurt that, aside from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the occasional cold winds, the weather has been equally perfect. I wore a sweater</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
outside the other day. A sweater! And no jacket! Bless you, Mother Nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But for now, I'm off to catch a train to celebrate Christmas with my family and my fiance.</div>

It always seems like there are endless ways to write about typical occurrences; there are those strangers on the subway, the man who is perpetually on the stoop and tells you how to survive the neighborhood, and that weekend you spent the bulk of your afternoon in one room at the Met reading every single placard. Those are easy! Those I was prepared for! Those are the kind of things you grow up being able to write!<br />
<br />
I was not, however, prepared for how to explain the weekend you spent celebrating your boyfriend's birthday that turned into the weekend you spent celebrating your <i>fiancé's</i> birthday.<br />
<br />
Internet, I AM GETTING MARRIED.<br />

<a href="http://derrellsaw.tumblr.com/">This person</a> who's been making cameos here for several months is, as you probably guessed the first time, my boyfriend.

I feel like I've figured out my staples over the last few months. Those things that start as random occurrences, turn into habits, and the next thing you know your coworkers are all, WAIT, you actually have hair?!<br />
<br />
Hair in ever-frizzy bun? Check.<br />
Pearl earrings? Check.<br />
Chambray shirt? Check.<br />
My favorite pair of glasses (from <a href="http://spexclub.com/index.php/women/hobbs-clear-grey.html">Spexclub</a>)? Check.<br />
<br />
Clearly it's a lot easier being me than you thought.<br />

People must imagine some sort of life when they picture New York. They probably think of fancy dinners, fancier dresses, and discussing international politics with your celebrity neighbors.<br />
<br />
As it turns out, I'm obviously living that life.<br />
<br />
That is, if that life instead included <a href="http://www.westvillenyc.com/">eating hamburgers</a>, <a href="http://www.amnh.org/">being fake tourists</a>, and playing Scrabble.<br />

Even if you know only a little about me, you'll also know I lived in Utah for a few years while receiving my undergrad. It's somewhat wild that I managed to stay sane, and it's even wilder to think that I not only survived but truly enjoyed my time there. I studied, I danced, and I even followed certain school traditions (Ahem). Saying that I had—and still have—school spirit would be an understatement, and I'm sure one day all those photos of me with painted blue face and wild outfits will haunt me. Actually, just admitting to them is probably a bad idea. Now you all know, too.<br />
<br />
But I digress.<br />
<br />
I left in a bit of a whirl. I finished graduation, went home to my empty rental house and full-to-the-brim car, and left. I don't even think I changed out of my graduation dress. And you guys, I cried. From my house until about the end of the canyon. It was like I was experiencing the saddest scene from every after-school movie made (the depressing ones, not the ones with drugs and pregnancies). I think I even heard Green Day's "Time of Your Life" as I replayed every memory from college. If I wasn't crying I probably would've laughed at the ridiculous scene that it was.<br />
<br />
More than anything else, the leaving part, and spending the next few months figuring out my future, left me a little wanting. I guess I thought I needed some closure, some sort of ending, or at least a better one. It was as if I felt Utah owed me something. Like I wanted to her to say, Hey you, get back here for a minute! So I did. It was between the Dominican Republic and its sandy beaches or Utah. And in my infinite wisdom, I picked Utah. And dragged the boyfriend along with me. It's those mountains! Those great friends I have who reside there! They made me!<br />
<br />
Now I'm back in my apartment listening to the sounds of my neighbors outside bickering about who left trash on the stoop, and feeling content. I guess I got all the jitters out of my system. I can finally plan that summer vacation without feeling the west tugging at me.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07881530997595434418noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875411744469144182.post-90739864911890423912011-09-13T16:45:00.001-04:002011-09-13T16:46:34.316-04:00West Country<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I tell you how I like to write, how I really do it from time to time. And I do, I honestly do. I even have things I could tell. You see, I could tell you about finally moving into a new apartment. One without mice and cockroaches, green-haired roommates, and gaping holes in wood floors, and instead with a real kitchen and intact structure. I could write about a super not-so-secret personal project I'm terribly excited about. I could explain <a href="http://sarcasmforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2011/07/america.html">who he is</a>. And I could even write a whole diatribe on the last ten months in New York (but would leave out the not-so-distant echoes of gun shots and shady neighborhoods, for the sake of my mother and her sanity).<br />
<br />
And I will. In time.<br />
<br />
But for now, rather than that, I'm telling you about this video. Because, although I occasionally forget MTV still exists, Adele makes me glad they still put on the horror show that is the VMAs.<br />

<br />
Last weekend Matthew taught me how to letterpress, a former profession of his, and I subsequently returned to my roots. Not that I have any letterpressing roots, but how can you not feel American and hearty when you're playing with ink and wood type, and everything smells like industry? And we all know the Mormon pioneers were all about industry. And homemade rolls.<br />

1. Despite best laid plans and travel routes, you'll probably inadvertently set your GPS to "Avoid Toll Roads" and take a detour through the depths of America. (Hey you, New Jersey!) It'll probably also take about two hours before you realize and start silently praying for a highway! An interstate! For all that is good in the world, anything without red lights!<br />
<br />
2. I used to find it odd that European tourists come en masse to sightsee around Harlem on Sunday mornings. Then I went on a Sunday drive around the "real" West Virginia with a genuine local. Or, Jeff's Terrific Tour o' Trailers! Suddenly those tourists and I have a lot in common.<br />
<br />
3. West Virginia really hates Ohio. Don't ask about it either. Although Ohio has a cool zoo with roaming kangaroos and I didn't see any kangaroos on my weekend in WV.<br />
<br />
4. Three words: Acid Washed Denim.<br />
<br />
5. Even with its insane ratio of Cracker Barrel's to residents, West Virginia isn't so bad. In fact, it's downright pretty.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07881530997595434418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875411744469144182.post-37107168557998050122011-08-03T17:30:00.002-04:002011-08-03T19:12:47.683-04:00WOODKID<div style="text-align: center;">An epic piece of music deserves an equally epic video.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
