Most people complain about commuting, but I actually love commuting in the morning. Yes, occasionally there are jerks that cut you off, but I wish everyone had the same attitude as me. I feel like everyone should be nicer to each other on the road because we are all kindred spirits, all off on our way to work. But really riding the Metro is my ( Read more... )

So the other day I was returning home from the gym with my mom when she made a little squawk. I asked her and she pointed to a small bug by our doorstep. It seemed rather miniscule and I didn't see the scary factor- she then informed me it was a scorpion. I then scampered inside, grabbed a big shoe, and proceeded to squash the sucker until his ( Read more... )

So I was at the movies today when a trailer for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 popped up. For some reason, this trailer made me start to cry. Not because it was particularly good, because it wasn't- at all. But I guess the premise of it really hit close to home for me- four close friends graduated from high school and were going their ( Read more... )

So the other day I was putting some photos on my iPod when it decided to sync itself. Syncing apparently means, "Let's delete everything off your iPod but these new photos!" So I frantically tried to find a data restore to see if I could save all my songs, but apparently they all cost lots of dough. I guess I know what I'm going to be doing ( Read more... )

I'm still having a debate of whether I like airplanes. Besides the horrible delays that sometimes occur (yay Chicago airport!), there's still the concept of the round-trip ticket, which has always struck me as inherently sad. That return ticket's existence is a slow, throbbing reminder that as soon as you start to get comfortable, it's time to ( Read more... )

I think the only thing that terrifies me more than first dates is job interviews. You have the same thoughts running through your head: Am I dressed up enough or too much? Do I look like I'm trying too hard? What if I run out of things to say? I would say the only difference is there's more money on the line with job interviews; usually money ( Read more... )

In case I didn't mention this to everyone, MY PARENTS FINALLY SOLD THEIR HOUSE HERE! THE STRASSERS ARE VIRGINIA BOUND!

I had a lot of fun this past week with Aaron, as you guys probably could tell from my Facebook photos... It went even better than I could have hoped for. I was kind of nervous about having him come out here for a long period of time and roadtripping to the Grand Canyon- what if we ran out of things to say to each another? I'm not really sure why ( Read more... )

I don't why I can be so even-keeled and calm around everyone in the world but my dad. No matter how careful I try to tread around him, it never works. Fuck fuck shit.

I have created a monster. I showed my dad the video Mike Huckabee made with Chuck Norris since my dad's a big Chuck Norris fan. All he's been doing all weekend is playing that video clip over and over...Technology is a dangerous weapon.
