Personal Digest Saturday: March 15 – 21

I've decided to do a little personal post on Saturdays (when possible) to just tell y'all about some things that have been happening during the week! I've been doing this elsewhere on the Web for a long time, sharing a little digest of any videos I created, art I made, songs I sang, books I read, pictures I took, and life news, and it'll be easy to share it here too. So here we go!

Life news this week:

• I began working on editing for Ryan, my first alternate in Pitch Wars.
• On Thursday I went to my sister Lindsay's wedding food tasting to help give opinions on the menu. She's getting married in May and I'm a bridesmaid.
• My baby nephew Ash is now three months old.
• I went to an antiquarian book fair with my friend James on Sunday.
• I bought a new digital video camera.
• An upcoming speaking opportunity for me at the University of Virginia has been finalized. I'll be talking about asexual relationships as part of their Proud to be Out Week. My talk will be April 10.

Places featured:

• I just found out that in 2005 I was quoted a bunch in AASECT's Contemporary Sexuality newsletter. I didn't know until now! Here's a PDF of it.
• On The Big Reveal, we talked about reading habits.
• Part II of my Pitch Wars interview came out on Suzi's blog. Part I was last week.
• I was on The Asexual Agenda's Linkspam because I wrote about the bad Best article on Tumblr.

Reading progress:

• Finished Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. Rating: ★★★★★
• Currently reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

New singing performances:

Recorded "Precious Illusions" by Alanis Morissette.

Just some pics from my haircut gallery. I'm taking a new picture on the 15th of every month to see if I can see how fast it grows.
