If I was a character on Scrubs, I'd be Elliot Reid.
I know what you're thinking, which is the same thing I'm thinking: Who would want to be Elliot? Well, much as I'd rather be Carla, I'm afraid I don't have a choice. Because when it comes down to it, I'm not the person dishing out criticism and advice and snappy comebacks; sadly, I'm the one crying in the supply closet ( Read more... ) -
I'm having grad school issues
So the past few days at work have been crappy, a fact which reinforces my life-goal of not being a waitress. Today, I came home wanting to either a) go for a run, or b) drink a bottle of red wine by myself, neither of which was very conducive to my plan to go to the gym this evening. So instead, I sat here at my computer and started a defiant "I ( Read more... ) -
Coming of Age Stories
I realized the other night that once you've already come of age (but haven't yet reached the troisième age when telling coming-of-age stories is appropriate again), those little adventures that once seemed so important to development now seem, well, stupid ( Read more... ) -
Who wants to cure cancer?
So I'm going to be running (okay, maybe half-walking) a 5K for cancer research, and you - yes, YOU! - can sponsor me. 100% of donations go towards researching all types of cancers. Remember, every penny counts ( Read more... ) -

Suddenly, I have a job...
So yesterday, with my stomach still freaking out (Carrie's is too, apparently. This is the second time this year we've shared a transatlantic stomach flu) I decided to go see a doctor. Or a nurse practitioner, as it were. Boring. She told me to eat nothing and drink only water for 2 days, and they took a sample to check for stomach infection ( Read more... ) -
Worst dinner ever
Yesterday, Adam asked me to pick up some broccoli on my way home from work, so that we could make a cheesy broccoli pasta thing for dinner. I went to both shops in the village, but alas found no broccoli. I did, however, find some reasonably priced raspberries at one of the shops, and as raspberries are Adam's favourite, I thought I'd get them ( Read more... ) -
Hallmark Day follow-up
When I checked my friends page this morning, I was attacked by a barrage of Valentine's Day rants. (Am I mixing metaphors here? Can one be attacked by a barrage?) And I know that on other people's friends pages, my own rant from a few days ago is among the attackers. Here's an update ( Read more... ) -
Another Hallmark Day, another reason to shoot myself in the head.
Okay, so I hate Valentine's Day. I have always hated Valentine's Day. Four years ago, I decided Feb 14 was Halloween and dressed up as Daria. I dunno, I've just always been one of those people who believes that we should show our loved ones we appreciate them more regularly than once a year ( Read more... ) -
