Telephone interviews are pretty simple. I had my first one today for Habitat for Humanity, and it was much easier than I had expected. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some experience over the summer working for them and if I still like being with them I'll try to find a full time job with them ( Read more... )

Ever see the movie Akira??? It's a crazy Japenese movie about a telekinetic boy who almost destroys all of Tokyo with his mind. So in this dream I was in a mansion or some huge building that had a Victorian style to it and I was looking out over a city (like the view from the Pittock Mansion, kind of looking from high down to low) and I saw the ( Read more... )

I haven't really written much lately. Ever since I got back from New Orleans I've been trying to focus more on getting things done. Down there, which might be home after the summer depending on Americorp application status, was a life changing trip. Much like when you go on safari, exchange, or meet someone from a different part of the world this ( Read more... )

The last two weeks have been, needless to say, fun times but very hard to explain in such a limited way. I've found that many of my friends are going through that part of life that happens to many post-graduate folks where you kind of know what you want to do, but might be having problems with figuring it out in the long run. Honestly, it's okay. I ( Read more... )

Inner-tubbing was amazing up on Hoodoo outside of Eugene, to just jump into it. The drive up with Dave and his little bro Mitch was pretty cool actually. We listened to some tunes and the roads weren't that busy. When we got to Hoodoo the roads were a bit icy here and there, but not as bad as it was last year. After being somewhat sidetracked from ( Read more... )

Just this evening Christopher Moore came to Portland to the Powell's Bookstore in Cedar Hills to promote his new book "You Suck", a sequel to his book "Bloodsucking Fiends". He basically was, and is, a class clown. Katie would probably get along with him really well, if that sets anything up... but his crude humor is what really reeled me in. He ( Read more... )

...so good old karma crept up to me the other day. Not in a bad way, but then again the results weren't that productive either ( Read more... )

This last weekend I was cleaning my room. What fun, I thought, I'm spending my time cleaning my room when I really don't want to be here. As I was getting things into the usual individual piles of orderlyness, I received a phone call on my cellphone. On the other line was Heidi, a friend that I know from college. She asked what I was doing, I told ( Read more... )

It's funny. Not really in a comedic way, but just kind of odd. This last weekend was a wonderful time hanging out with some friends of mine. I miss that sort of stuff, and I honestly do appreciate spending time with friends. It makes me feel like I'm part of something... I dunno... just larger than myself and my own little time working where I do ( Read more... )

Driving to meet up with some friends this evening I saw the funniest thing that I have seen in a week. I know, a week sounds ridiculous but then again... I do live in Portland, OR. I was nearby the Lloyd Center Mall and I thought I was seeing a unicyclist shoot across the road in front of me heading towards the mall. The first thing I thought was, ( Read more... )
