I am so ready to be done with this injury stuff. I tried going off my crutches for a bit today in the morning, and I was doing ok. But then later in the day the pain got a lot worse and my ankle started getting angry looking again, so I'm back on the crutches. I am going to have to go see a real doctor (college health center practitioners do not ( Read more... )

uggghhhhhh. Biked up Skinner mountain today, and crashed in a ditch on the way down, at the very bottom. My clip got jammed in the pedal and I landed on my leg funny. Now I'm on crutches and my knee and ankle are swollen and hurty. Crutches look fun but they really really suck. My armpits hurt and I have to pee so badly right now but I don't have ( Read more... )

I spent 6 hours today downloading clips from youtube and editing them into a DVD. Clips of my 2 favorite gymnasts, Chen Yibing and Hiroyuki Tomita. They're both total beefcakes. I cut out the original commentary and edited in cheesy music. I now have just over an hour of (low-def, grainy) delicious footage which I can watch at my leisure. I ( Read more... )

I'm officially back in the land of the living. If you have called/emailed me in the past few weeks I probably haven't replied, because I've been working feverishly on a research proposal for my biochem advisor. I finally got it turned in and now I have the next 2 weeks to relax and do whatever the fuck I want. Then it's back to school. Why is it so ( Read more... )

Home from California. I was reminded why I could never possibly live there. Too crowded. Too materialistic. Too sunny (a burned scalp is no fun). Too hot ( Read more... )

My bicycle finally arrived in the mail today. I had it assembled and went for a short ride, and promptly wiped out on a hill after it started raining. Now the tape on one of my handlebars is completely shredded and my right knee is missing a lot of its skin. The knee doesn't hurt as much as my inner right elbow, which wasn't nearly as badly scraped ( Read more... )

in west seattle. I'm moving into my brother's house (he just moved to Montana) and have nobody to live with me this summer. My mom doesn't want me living there alone. Anyone want to move in with me? Rent is free and there is a swimming pool in the back yard. I'll be living there till September. Did I mention free rent?

I'm home and it's fabulousity. But I also have no plans. And I'm a little bored. But still, bored in a great way. People should call me, and we should do things.
