Life « Anything Lime

A contagious kind of hopefulness

Every once in a while someone comes along who makes you realize how much love there is in the world. Makes you realize the world is a good place. Restores your faith in humanity. And for that, I’m truly thankful. When I spend so much of my time wallowing in a cloud of self pity, [...]

Bits and pieces

There I was in the parking garage of my building – picking up the pieces of my favorite mug in the world. It was black with a matte finish on the outside with a lime green lip across the top that bled with color down into the inside of the mug. It was the perfect [...]

Warped face

I saw my first Andrew W.K. show last Friday. I know, seems crazy, right? I’ve known the guy for more than five years and haven’t ever seen him perform live. And not only live, but from the best seat stand? in the house. I watched from the side of the stage holding onto a speaker [...]

Comfort shoes

There was a time in my life when the thing I wanted most in the world was a pair of shoes. It was right out of college when I moved in with Patrick – I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have any friends and I didn’t have any money except what my mom had [...]

Karied away

DISCLAIMER: I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t come out and tell you that the misspelling is intentional. Her name is Kari. I most certainly don’t condone the misspelling of words for fun (particularly words that begin with “c” but are instead spelled with “k”). I did it for the sake of the play on [...]

If I ran the zoo.

My recent cupping treatment left me reminiscing about spending my childhood reading the works of Dr. Seuss. Now if only I could remove my spots and juggle them.

“STOP JUMPING ON MY HEAD! SERIOUSLY, MOVE! THAT WAS MY FUCKING MUSHROOM, BITCH.”

My recent purchase of the New Super Mario Bros game for Wii was two things: 1. arguably one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made and 2. possibly the worst thing to happen to my relationship since that time I told my friends Patrick’s umbilical cord was still attached to his mother while he was [...]

Perfection in a bib

Not only did I get a chance to visit with my cute little niece Naylyn during last weekend’s trip to Indiana, I also got to bond with her over some pureed sweet potatoes and bananas. This photo was taken just moments before the feeding began. And when I tell you she’s still learning, that’s the [...]

On being happy

I have a vivid memory of the first time I ever had a panic attack. It was vivid in that I can remember all of the feelings, all of the details as I was walking through my elementary school hallway, leaning on the wall surrounding the library because I was about to pass out. My [...]

So long, December.

One of my favorite pieces of writing is Dr. Seuss’s “How did it get so late so soon?” Like most of his work, this poem is a whimsical children’s rhyme that’s got a much, much deeper meaning. It was the last thing he wrote before he died.

Now here it is – the last day before [...]
