The end of the line
A lot has changed in just the two months since this year began, so much that I'm not sure where to begin, or what I want to share. More family drama, a friendship that ended rather spectacularly (*cough*myex*cough*). I think about this blog too infrequently, and too few people still use this site to make it worth the upkeep ( Read more... ) -
Whiplash
The run down:- Went on a camping trip to Crater Lake with Winifred in September. We shared our camping spot with some grad students ladies and shared horror stories of the ghosts of Grad School Past and Future Debt. We had close encounters with all kinds of birds and woodland rodents. The weather was marvelous and I actually did some more sketching ( Read more... )

Settling In
Time for the bi-annual check in! Last time we saw Allie she was pretty depressed and thoroughly hating life, work, family, relationships, and birth control. In the last six months she has since:- Quit the Burke Museum.
- Got full time (FULL. TIME. I think I might cry) at the Science Center doing something that is a liiiiiiittle bit better than just ( Read more... )

The state of things now...
I've been kicking around the idea of updating for the new year, reflecting on where things stand with me. Well, I'm still at the Science Center, and still at the Burke. I still don't get days off, not really. I still can't seem to get a real job, or to turn my current jobs into something more. Things with my family are not good, for a number of ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I've been at the Science Center all summer, since the Burke changed to a whole new collection database. What was supposed to be 2 weeks off, not able to touch the catalog so we could migrate all the data to the new database, turned into a three-month-long SNAFU. It was nice that PacSci was able to give me the hours I needed, and it was very nice ( Read more... ) -
Options, and the lack thereof

Piss poor saleswoman
UUUUURGH, job interview anxiety. I'm sitting here at work, stewing, and will be useless until I sit down and dissect what happened. Thus, to Livejournal ( Read more... ) -
Looooong awaited update
Oh dear, has it really been, what, 3 or 4 months since I last updated? to be honest, I purposefully haven't WANTED to: this has been one huge fucking drag of a winter. I made it to P-town after Thanksgiving to see the fam, and Dad's been up to Seattle a few times to play gigs (including this week!), but other than that I haven't seen them at all. ( Read more... ) -
Misplaced Nostalgia
I just a little bout of social anxiety - a blip on the screen, really, but enough to make me nostalgic and turn my first social network of choice, where I spent so much of my college years going over and working through all my anxiety and depression. Livejournal, I just can't quit you!
What's silly is that it was brought on by another social network ( Read more... )
