About

Welcome to well that’s awkward, my personal webspace where I share my thoughts, triumphs, failures, fears, loves, hates, inspirations, kitchen adventures, and generally anything else I feel like sharing.

Things I love:

• industrial buildings remodeled into office space or lofts
• letterpress
• built-in shelving to display my books and trinkets
• acoustic guitar
• snail mail
• the perfect planner and/or list pad (I’m a perpetual list-maker)
• chocolate ANYTHING
• the smell of the air just before a thunderstorm
• the way my dog fits perfectly into a little ball in my lap
• color-coding everything
• school/office supplies
• fabric softener
• chick flicks & cheesy comedies
• laughing myself into a tummyache
• the smell of old books
• taking pictures
• sunglasses
• classic architecture + modern design

This is JT, also commonly referred to as Boyfriend:

We live in Portland, OR in a gorgeous green house with our friend Mike and this guy:

This is Chance, the Prince of my Kingdom. He also goes by Pants, Bubby, Sir, Prince Puppypants, Buuuuuuuuuuuuddy, or You Little Shit.

I was born and raised in Virginia, but most of the time when I tell people that they ask me why I don’t have an accent. The simple answer to that question is usually this: I just haven’t had enough to drink yet. Also, wait until you get me in the same room as my mother.

I’m right in the midst of my Quarter-Life Crisis, trying to figure out what it is that I’m meant to do with my life and how to go about doing it while still maintaining my own idea of what life should be like. Hint: it’s all about balance. All work and no play makes Megan a very, very grouchy girl. Also, so do airports, long lines, alarm clocks, bad drivers, and hardcore metal music.

I excel at awkwardness.
