This is a good way to avoid less-exciting activities.

For this meme, put your music player on shuffle, and post pictures of the first 20 artists (no repeats). Then, friends try to identify the bands. Like Jesse, I'll give some clues. Good luck!

I am so ready to be done with work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but the paper cuts and the headaches are getting a little old. For those of you who don't know, I work at OSLC, a research group that focuses on socio-economic issues specifically relating to children, teens, and families. The grant I work for is about families with incarcerated ( Read more... )

I put in my two-weeks notice today, and soon William and I will live in Portland. We have a cozy, little apartment on Alberta within range of Last Thursday and millions of adorable shops and restaurants. I am so excited about living there! I am much less excited about packing and unpacking, but it could be worse ( Read more... )

At 5:35 tomorrow, my freshman year of college will be over. My mom will drive up on Thursday to get my stuff, Patrick and I will catch a concert on Friday night, and yet another Amtrak bus will get me home at 1:40 on Saturday. From there, everything is summer ( Read more... )

Junior year was a little better, but college was looming up ( Read more... )

It was beautiful outside the last two days, so I shaved my legs last night.

This morning it is chilly and rainy.

The world hates me.

ACTF was amazing. The drunk people were annoying, the garbage cans were a little small, and occasionally the car had way too many people in it, but it was amazing. Both of the semifinalists from our school went on to the finals, and one of them won an award for her comedic scene. We won a golden hand cart for the best load in (that was a very proud ( Read more... )

Right now I'm in a room full of drama kids in a hotel full of drama kids. All this week has been (and will be) drama kids, drama kids, drama kids! Not to mention that we're watching Batman Forever and eating chips with salsa. Last night our room was full of drunk people proclaiming the joys of alcohol and sober people who could have passed for ( Read more... )
