I used to write for this cool online webzine....
Did you know that I had a brief love affair with an online webzine? Yes, it's true.
For a few months back in 2009, I had a weekly date with the Loco Nunca crew in Austin.
I quit because............why DID I quit? Oh yeah, because they were super disorganized at group meetings and I was really busy at the time and in a hurry to get things accomplished. I hope that if any of them ever happen on this blog post, they will not be offended because honestly, they are all incredibly talented and creative artists and writers and I am thankful that they accepted me into their group.
You'll get hooked into their world of indulgence, angst, and anger here: www.loconunca.com
And if you'd like to read the few things I ever wrote for Loco Nunca, please check them out below. I wrote under the pen name "Nikki Bonzai". This name came about when my friend and I decided that the best combination to figure out your porn name is your middle name and favorite tree. At least, that formula worked out better for me than any others, so it stuck with me and I was eager to use it in real life... Enough on the pen name, read here:
"Choose Your Own Adult Adventures"
"To You, Who Will Never Read This"
Their website is witty and emotionally charged, full of sass and sex and strong opinions on everything from hangover food to political figureheads.
Here are just a few of my favorite articles:
Say Girl, What's Your Night?
The Girl Crush
A Decade in Douchebags
Pit Stop: A Rundown of Austin's Restrooms

In the Space Between
In the Space Between
You seem to fit perfectly in the space between
The left ear
and crevice of the neck
Warm breath tickling,
Goosebumps rise quickly
Arm hooked over, cradling
Insecurities.
You seem to fit perfectly in the space between
Swollen breast and smooth torso
Wisps of your hair scattered across my chest,
Hand splayed across the belly, calming
Nervousness.
You seem to fit perfectly in the space between
Shoulder blade
And curled up thigh
Lips puckered and asleep against my freckles,
Leg meeting mine, warming

What You Can Expect from My Blog This Year
Hello everyone,
I've decided to blog again....for real! Not only that, but I just spent an hour reorganizing the layout of my blog. Some things to note are the awesome new template (ooohhh.....ahhh....) and the "Topics for Discussion".
Okay, so here's what I decided to do--categorize my shit to make it easier and more fun for BOTH of us. I will be posting stuff on the regs in these areas. Read below for descriptions:
That's Gross: You guessed it....these posts are about nasty, gross, unsightly things. You know, the kind of stuff you guys are always making fun of me for talking about so much
Travels: I know I don't do a whole lot of traveling, but this year I plan to change my sedentary ways.
Monica Reviews Stuff: Books, Movies, Music, Restaraunts. I think my opinion matters!
Alter Egos: I have many. Get to know them.
Lessons Learned: ALOT. I have learned alot.
I Love Lists: OMG, I can't wait to share my lists with you all!
Adventure Club: Fun things I do to keep my life exciting, curious, and adventurous.
Baby Animals: Who doesn't like baby animals? Look forward to some of the cutest damn babies you've ever seen! It's gonna rain baby animals on my blog. :)
Geeking Out: Everyone knows I'm a dork....this is where you get to experience some of my nerdiest moments.
Heart and Soul: Did you know I write poetry? Well, I do. And this is the place where you can find that....and other heartfelt sentiments. I know I like to act funny most of the time, but there really is some serious shit going on in my mind.
Random Ramblings: You got it.....random.
I am so excited to be excited about this blog again! Please check it on the daily. :)

Mama's Got a Brand New Bag!
Hey guess what fools? I'm back at blogging with some fresh thoughts and a fresh new look.
I have not posted in months and while I could make up many excuses why, it really does not matter. What DOES matter is that I have decided to return to my faithful readers (all 7 of you I believe) and hopefully recruit a few more so that I may once again have a fun and healthy release of my regular thoughts.
Don't you wish your girlfriend had a blog like me? Dontcha.
So what to begin with.....
How about the last 5 things I did that made me smile. Awwwww, now isn't that a great place to start? I think so.
(In no particular order)
1. I won my regional qualifying round in Austin Air Guitar....which earned me $100, an awestruck crowd, and a spot in regionals TONIGHT at the Parish! Here's a video. Watch it.
2. My friend Drew and I signed up for swing classes. We had our first lesson on Tuesday. And minus a few older dudes with some bad beer breath, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
3. A good ol' friend of mine reappeared in my life after almost a year of being absent. A phone call from him almost brought me tears of joy. I am excited to see him for sushi next week!
4. I learned how to ask for what I want and (fingers crossed) possibly get it. Sweet, huh? I have discovered the key to happiness. Well, besides the other key, which gets me into my house everyday.
5. I formed a karaoke team which begins competing in the Austin Karaoke League next month! Our team is called SHY and includes a bunch of good friends and new ones who all shine in their own special ways. I can't wait to tear a new one into the competition this summer!
And so there are some rays of sunshine in my life keeping it bright. But right now, the brightness of my lamp is causing me a slight headache, so I will be signing off.
So glad to be back here. :)
