This has been one WILD month. Suddenly, it seems as though everything in my live has skipped into overdrive and I’m overrun with ideas and apparently unconcerned with how I will be funding these ideas. Also, if you’ve never been on Cape Cod in the summer, in August we basically become the epicenter of the East Coast, and most days, when I don’t have to be at work, I hide out in my apartment and dream about fall.
Last August, things were just starting to get kicked up a notch around here. It was the month that I moved myself from wordpress.com to a self hosted wordpress.org site [major personal accomplishment], and when I finally “came out” as a blogger to my family and friends via facebook. Both of these moments changed MM forever, and I am so excited that I had the courage to persevere through the anxiety that surrounded both of them. That said, there were some majorly kickass posts up last August, please allow yourself to scroll back in time and check them out:
- why I blog
- attn: marzipan, have become complete nutcase
- marzipan LOVES: The Parkington Sisters
- confessions of a compulsive eater, II
- on being “gay”, looking straight, and a new generation of queer
- feeling powerful: pulling yourself from the dark place

Things I am incredibly, unbelievably grateful for this month:

- steadily building the courage to release a major piece of writing to you guys
- notebooks with blank pages
