Apartment 209 is an enchanted place.

It is the type of Sunday that scares Spring back into its hiding place. But I can pretend that, in my little apartment, I've allowed Spring to take refuge in secret under my floorboards. We spent the day together, curled up with guinea pigs and ea...

Vox Hunt: Lucky Number 7

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:45:25 -0400

For the 7th day of the 7th month, show us 7 of something - OR - something lucky. Paper Cranes are notorious good luck charms, but opals are associated with misfortune. That doesn't change the fact that I like opals, however. The charm is black s...

Vox Hunt: The Unexplainable

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:42:10 -0400

Show us something you can't explain. I don't try to remember all my unborn ideas, photographs, and knitting projects. And what of the unborn bumblebees, brick walls, ceramic jars, and pocketwatches? Why is there a statue to commemorate other con...

Vox Hunt: Red, White and Blue

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:36:39 -0400

In honor of Independence Day, show us something patriotic. I do not like wars. Plastering vehicles in propaganda slogans seems hollow. I no longer have faith in anybody in charge. I see the detour my country has taken, and the prospect fills me ...

Vox Hunt: Cooling Off

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:12:26 -0400

Show us something cold. I took this on my birthday, which is toward the end of January and squarely in the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp. I kind of like where the twenty-second of January is situated. It's one of those unforgiving dates that nobody s...

I'm not sure why I used to love this time of night. There was something about pretending that I was the only person awake, that the whole world slumbered under the enchantment of a shadowy sorceress with a face of opal and water which never inhab...

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:46:22 -0400

Here in Pittsburgh we get excited about all kinds of stuff. One of these things are GINGER SNAPS! CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?!

Blurg.

I drank a little too much last night. I'm not feeling the whole Driving Back to New Castle for Brunch thing right now.

Out out out.

It's no secret that I've been feeling altogether restless lately, but I'm not doing a very good job of leaving my apartment unless I have to. What's the point of living in the Big City if I refuse to explore it? I mused over this to Scruffy, so h...

The more we grow the less we show.

nobody@vox.com(Brianne) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:59:53 -0400

Dear Vox, Quite some time has passed since we last spoke. I want you to know that you did nothing wrong; rather, I retreated to someplace that was more familiar and comfortable. It was nothing more than that, honestly. For whatever reason, thi...
