needing touch
I realized today that I have not really touched or been touched by anyone since last Thursday morning. I've had some hand shakes, a couple minor my-knee-bumped-your-knee-on-the-couch events, but that's it. I need hugs! And cuddles! I've been so thoroughly blessed with cuddly friends for at least the last 13 months that I had forgotten what it's ( Read more... ) -
aw crap...
So, I realized today that I have music history and theory placement exams coming up this Friday and Monday. I haven't studied for these. In fact, I really haven't dealt with most of this material for four years. So basically I have two days to relearn about eight semester classes of material. This is Not Good. I knew this stuff really well ( Read more... ) -

Holy Crap!
I just got offered a teaching assistantship! This is totally awesome, and equally unexpected, because they already turned me down for this earlier. I guess someone must of declined their offer, so I was second or third or whatever choice. Sweet! More details to follow when I actually have more info. Here's all I've got so far ( Read more... ) -
inertia conquered
Adam and I finally got off our butts. Sunday we drove out to Mammoth Lakes. We camped and roasted sausages over a fire. It's kind of ridiculous and awesome how good things taste when you roast them over an open flame. Yesterday we went rock climbing in the Owens River Gorge. Neither of us had been climbing in a while, and were just started to ( Read more... ) -
inertia
I'm stalled out by inertia. I still have a week and a half that Adam and I could go on some kind of adventure, but I get depressed every time I think about it. I want to be out in the Sierras like we had planned. I think we made the smart decision by coming home, but I'm not happy about it. And until I can really let go of it, I seem unable to ( Read more... ) -
Help Ben find a place to sleep in San Francisco!
Apologies in advance to those who have already been spammed by me on facebook and myspace.
As many of you know, I will be attending a yoga teacher training course in San Francisco from August 1-10. I'm still in the process of figuring out housing. ariiadne and vyrin have very kindly agreed to let me stay with them for a few days. I'm hoping to find a place ( Read more... ) -
No more Sierras trek
As you might guess by the fact that I have internet access, I am no longer in the Sierras as planned. I'll write more when I'm less depressed about it. For now, suffice to say that we are home safe, and chose to abort the trip due to bad weather, malfunctioning gear, and my bad knees. -
High Sierra Route
After spending WAAAY too much time planning and buying gear and packing in the past few days, Adam and I are finally about to leave on our epic backpacking trip. It is slightly less epic than originally planned (now 16 days instead of a month), but we are super stoked. We will be doing 2/3 of the Sierra High Route. I want to leave right now, so ( Read more... ) -
Trip update
We spent a week in Tempe, searching for housing. My first choice didn't work out, but I found something good and signed the lease. I will have one enormous room and one medium sized room in a house. These together are a good bit larger than my studio apartment in Portland was. I also have my own bathroom and the shared kitchen and living room ( Read more... )
