Allow Myself, to Introduce Myself...

First of all,
 I'm awful at introductions without a glass of wine or two.


As it turns out, so is my dog, Harlow. 
That's why we make a good pair.

My name is Taylor,
and I thank my parents every day they didn't allow me to change it to Paris Taylor
as I so desperately wanted to when I was 10 years old (16)...
I live in Chicago with my boyfriend Chris, and our incredibly clingy dog, Harlow. 
We were both born and raised in Nebraska, but now we're "big city." 
So I have to stop saying "big city" ASAP.


I'm a little bit sarcastic, a tiny bit cynical, sometimes offensive (according to who?!) 
and yet with all these qualities working against me I'm out to live the best life I can.
I think it was all of the Tony Robbins tapes my dad had me listen to every night
before bed from the ages of 7- 12 that instilled such a strong sense of
"I can do anything" into me.


Someday I will land my dream job.
I just have to figure out what that is. Right now I know I just love to write.
I've been rejected in all areas of the literary world- novels, screenplays, short stories, children's books, you name it and I have a rejection letter.
 One of these days I'll get it right and you'll be seeing my cleverly titled book on clearance at Wal Mart.

One more thing, I love to play the lottery. And I am 100% genuinely shocked/disappointed whenever I don't win. But I'm feeling real good about tonight's drawing...

XOXO

  10. Love your sarcasm, but it is clear that I must stop reading your posts at work. Apparently software product briefs are not as laugh-out-loud funny as I have been leading everyone in my office to believe with my muffled snorts. Love it!

  13. I think this "About" section needs a little sprucing up! Where are all the sexy pictures? Pay me $20 and I'll fix it up for you in no time.

    Just kidding. I love it.

    Also, I'm on a huge Taylor stalking kick lately. Have you noticed?

  23. Heyyy there fellow Chicagoan! :D

    I live in Riverwest. I've always lived in a city or close to a city, but I still find Chicago intimidating. Especially when I have to drive.
