Over on MetaFilter they’re discussing Amish romance novels. No, really. The comments that most amused me were from people who’d eaten in “Amish” restaurants and who expressed surprise at the “Amish” girls wearing bonnets, dresses, and incongruous New Balance sneakers. I had to break it to them that they’re probably not Amish.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
