Lots of things you posted about there. Me not make good sentence, tired and full.
Main thought: Toyota matrix! Wee! I have one. 2006. Wonderful car - only problem I have found is that my year has a ridiculously low bumper, even though the car actually has a lot of clearance. Apparently this is to make it look "aggressive." In years before and after they realized how stupid this is. I'm not sure of the exact time frame, though - so make sure you check that out.
You're not faking it. :-P Stop psyching yourself out crazy lady. You're a brilliant scientist with occasionally unsuccessful research projects.
Mmmm pretzels and Disney. I have to say, long distance relationships kind of suck but also kind of are awesome. You only have to shave once a week. You can study or do whatever during the week and not feel guilty. Expensive with the gas though, especially when you have a gas leak!
Roommate situations are so tricky. Have I mentioned lately how glad I am we found each other?
Dude, I thank my lucky stars every day that we ended up as roomies. That could have been a disastrous situation...
The long-distance thing is probably a plus for my research/classes. Otherwise I'd be with him constantly and not accomplish anything. But it is hard to wake up after seeing him on the weekend and not have someone to snuggle with. Because we all know what a snuggle-whore I am.
You know what I've found is a good remedy? Salt bagels. Easier to find than giant pretzels, and very similar tasting. Dunkin Donuts has them (along with so much other donut-y goodness)!
(I'm sorry. Like with the 10 year olds I'm working with now, everything is an innuendo. An innuendo for what, exactly, they're not sure. But they know one when they hear it.)
I am way impressed that you're buying a car all by yourself! That would terrify me. So glad I moved somewhere where I don't need a car, although that did mean a tearful goodbye to Gareth. Not forever though, as he is my sister's for when she's home from Philadelphia summers, and my dad's when he doesn't want to drive HIS "car," which is actually just a thing that looks like a car and smells like a car, but that sits in the garage and is not allowed to get "dirty." So, basically his baby. No, babies are allowed to get dirty, so I don't know what it is. But Gareth is the stepchild. sigh.
Also, also...holy cripes, you're going to be a doctor soon! And you'll be great this semester, but you know that already, because otherwise you would have quit long ago. HOT DAMN.

Ahahahaha, you have NO idea. I spent a week trapped on a boat with 16 teenagers, and they thought it was all the rage to say "that's what she said" after everything. Not that most of them understood what the joke was. But the bad part was, I got in the habit of saying it, and when I did it was diiiiiiiiiirty.
Guys and cars. Who gets it? I'm buying a car with storage space and good crash test ratings. I'm not buying the love of my life... Poor Gareth, I'm envisioning him sweeping coals and shivering out in the rain, sadly peering into the garage window.
How's Chi-town, btw? Methinks you're the next to do a massive update.

Methinks this year's model has better bumpers.
Matrix = storage capacity ftw.

Yay for Matrixes (Matrices?) I think they brought back the ghetto-fabulous low bumper for the 2009 model, which means I will scrape it to bits.
I'm all excited about the storage space. And the fact that it's plastic. Now my smelly wet dive gear won't permanently stink up my car!
