About Me & This Site
My name is Devon Marie Miller.
The name durvy is rooted in teasing. It’s the only nickname that’s ever stuck and began when my 8 year old brother and 10 year old sister discovered the word “Duh.” “Duh” became “Durr,” and then my father jokingly called me “Durr-von,” as a variation of Devon. It was then shortened to “Durvy” and has been stuck to my back ever since.
I wanted to be a writer when I was a kid. Now I just want to be drunk. So I blog. I look up to the smart, funny women who blog about their smart, funny lives with witticisms and grace. My life is not exactly smart or funny, but it does tend to be ironic.
I was born in Michigan, then my family moved to Marietta, Georgia, then San Francisco, California and then we finally landed in Los Angeles. Thank god. Los Angeles is large, loud, obnoxious, rude, offensive, and dirty. And I love it and can’t wait to go back. There is something about it that just screams “LOOK AT ME.” I’m thinking it has something to do with ridiculous amounts of wealth against a backdrop of idiots. It’s fantastic and makes me want to hug people. I also think everyone should learn to drive in LA. Seriously. There is nothing worse than a passive driver.
I am going into my last year at UC Davis. That means I have officially started freaking out because I am about to be an adult; I have to be an adult that doesn’t wake up at noon with only vague memories from the night before… I’l have to start waking up at 8am with only vague memories from the night before.
I am dating a Jewish frat boy named Alex Handy. I swear Handy is his real last name.
I’m not supermodel skinny. I never will be. Food is good. Though recently I’ve discovered I’m lactose intolerant. DO YOU KNOW WHAT LIFE IS LIKE WITHOUT CHEESE? I don’t recommend finding out if you don’t already know.
I’m obsessed with Harry Potter, shoes that cost more than my computer, pans of homemade, undercooked brownies, Law and Order:SVU, and NCIS. I think Ziva is hot, and Alex sometimes tells me he thinks I’m a lesbian.
I’m a huge fan of the Internet. I cannot deal with uneven numbers, and I have excellent parking kharma. It came with the kharma package I picked out at birth: have difficult roommates, always have the parking spot in front. It’s totally worth it.
