I left Bakersfield Tuesday afternoon for Oakland. I crashed at a friends house, and due to the long drive and interview nerves I barely slept. Before I left Bakersfield, I knew I wanted to not go straight home, I was debating between going to Santa Cruz or going to Arcata (humboldt). I found a guy on craigslist looking for a ride from Berkeley to ( Read more... )

I have a job interview on August 20th for Alameda County (East Bay). I really would love this job, but the way things are with the economy, any social service job is really competitive, especially in Alameda county where they pay way more than anywhere else-plus who wouldn't want to live in the bay ( Read more... )

I am in Moab, Utah. My dad finished his days of obligation in Colorado, so we left and headed towards the mountains, we spent the afternoon in Breckenridge and Vail, and seeing everyone bike riding, enjoying the beautiful scenery made me envious that I have been to Colorado sooo many times, yet haven't really experienced the beauty of the state ( Read more... )

I have done and seen some crazy and out of the ordinary things at my favorite gourmet restaurant, But on Saturday, things got even more unusual. I came to celebrate a national French holiday and brought a long a friend who I met in Costa Rica. I told her that I am friends with the owners and knew most of the wait staff. I don't think she was ( Read more... )

Found an RV park that allows tents, but they wanted 57 dollars for us to camp there, obviously we didnt end up camping. We found a taco shop where we called some ( Read more... )

I went on my first cruise to celebrate graduation and it is really hard to sum up the experience without sounding like a "girl gone wild and crazy in Mexico" stereotype. So I will not indulge in the details, but if you had the privilege of seeing the photos then you already know what i mean ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the end of a two year saga that I almost never took. I entered the social work program not really knowing what to expect, but that I knew that I couldn't do much with my bachelors in psychology degree so i decided to continue with school. I came into graduate school with low expectations, being that my Dad taught at the university, I ( Read more... )

i recently discovered the Nick Jr show Yo Gabba Gabba! and it is soo awesome. The lead singer of the band The Aquabats wrote the music and premise for the show-which is makes a lot of sense if you are familiar with the band. Anyway the show is awesome, if you are familiar with the E! show The Soup, then you should be familiar with the dancing kids ( Read more... )

I did my first official race this weekend. I participated in San Francisco's Bay to Breakers. I finished the 12k in 1:30 mins, I had a blast and want to do it again, however I will not be eating flaming hot cheetos after a race again-to see why, check out my myspace photos.

I have an old yahoo account that I hardly use, that I started in 2000. I was curious about what kind of emails I had and stumbled on a collection of emails that Nolan wrote me circa 2000. Here is a personal questionairre Nolan sent me about himself. Notice any emerging themes?

This was emailed to me on July 20, 2000
