Let's go back -- far back (and I mean faaaar back, like a whole 4 years ago). Look into my crystal ball to see... Teenage Cappy: writer, high school student and Strokes fan extraordinaire. She had long blonde hair, bangs, and was just learning how to do a cat eye (oh, so young with so much... Continue Reading →
I always feel really conflicted when men come up and do things that they clearly think are nice when really they're just making me uncomfortable. So...for example, one time a guy sang at me. I say he sang at me because I sort of just sat there, bewildered, while I was accosted by Justin Bieber lyrics. He had approached... Continue Reading →
I hate New Years Resolutions because I think that every day, not just January 1, presents an opportunity for change, but I think I've accidentally made one... I'm going to lose weight. How much is my own business, and I share enough of my life on here as it is, but it's really important to me... Continue Reading →
Lately, I've had a few adults (and I say adults like I'm not one because they're my parents' age and also because I refuse to grow up) make sassy and inappropriate comments about my appearance. "Oh my goodness, what have you done to your hair? And you've got things in your nose!" When I hear these... Continue Reading →
I just wanted to sit down and write something in the middle of the night because…I’m happy. I’m happy because I’m warm in my bed and it’s absolutely frigid outside. I’m happy because I’m going home this weekend to visit my family and exist outside of this college town for a few days. I’m reading... Continue Reading →
It was awesome. There's something really exhilarating about writing absolute tripe on the internet...maybe that's why I like blogging. Anyway, it's some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever written but I thought I'd share it with you here, because...because it's Downton Abbey fanfic and Carson is sassy in it. So you're welcome. Midnight... Continue Reading →
My roommate fed me a cheese curd from Dairy Queen earlier today and I told her I loved her because...cheese. She just stuck it right in my mouth cuz she loves me, and now the feeling is mutual. Then...then she uttered the funniest, truest thing I've heard all week: "Before you mate with the wild Cappy,... Continue Reading →
It's Diwali, and with that comes so much light and love and happiness for me as a Hindu. I continually learn about elements of my faith with each passing holiday, so I always have a hard time explaining Diwali to other people, but the most beautiful thing for me about Hinduism is that I feel...

I'd never liked antiquing before -- my mother half-dragging me around rooms full of musty nonsense that nobody wanted, my feet tired, my nose stinging a little from all that dust and "history." History in quotes, of course, because much of it seems to be weird plastic crap from the 1970s that got tossed out... Continue Reading →
I'm leaving early. I'm leaving early, after one session instead of two, and it's so bittersweet, because there are things I love about this country -- the food, the constant respect I receive, the way everything lights up and twinkles at night -- and things I truly despise -- the sheer number of people and cars, the...
