oh how i love new york city.  i haven't yet decided if i love it for visiting only, or for living in....i'm seriously thinking about moving there after traveling.  it's the most amazing city but i'm not sure if i'd go stir crazy living in such cramped quarters - my friends' living room is smaller than my bathroom...and i have two bathrooms.   but ( Read more... )

i'm flying out of here  just as 14 inches of snow comes our way. craaaaazy.  the only way this could be better is if i was going to some place warm and exotic.

yay for really good food and seeing art and friends and not being in minnesota!

i'm going to new york next weekend!  it's going to be a bit of a lush weekend, but having money to travel and do what you want fucking rocks!!  especially when what you want is to visit the coolest city on earth and hang out with your best friends!!

its going to be like 40 degrees in new york too!  excellent.

the weather according WKTV: is -16 degrees, feels like -36 degrees.   that is UNACCEPTABLE.  i tried walking around downtown to starbucks today but then my nose hairs froze and my legs went numb where the jacket didn't cover them, and my face started burning and i thought it would probably be a better idea to go home and make some coffee there ( Read more... )

today i taught myself to make sushi and vietnamese spring rolls.  and it was excellent ( Read more... )

i dont know why i thought it was a good idea to move here.  i've been known to complain about the breeze at the north carolina beach on summer nights!  i think the perfect weather is 85 degrees, sunny, and bone dry!  and i thought it'd be swell to move to minnesota?  yeah, ok, sherlock.  good thinking ( Read more... )

and i figured out what i am going with my life after Dec. 07.  you'll never guess.  you'll really really never guess.  i'm so excited about it, and nothing anyone says will dampen my enthusiasm for it.  i am going to be vague right now, and tell everybody my plans once they get more solidified.  seriously i was so pumped about this idea that i did ( Read more... )

i found airtran tickets to the bahamas for $260 roundtrip!!!  but i'm workiiiiiiiiing on the only days that the flights actually work out!  arghhhhhh.  i will make this work, i am going to make this work.

i have been spending way too much time on SideStep.com and AirTran.com.  i mean, it's not my fault that every airline company is having ( Read more... )

am i crazy for wanting to move back to north carolina already?  i've been really miserable ever since i came back from visiting raleigh for christmas.  i only had four days to see all my family and friends, which was definitely not enough.  i cried on both my flights back because i didn't want to leave.  i really really really miss my family, and i ( Read more... )

i really just want to run away to vietnam or laos or cambodia and come back to the US every so often just to visit my family and a few important others.   and then i would fly back home, half way across the world, to speak another language, and eat fresh seafood and fruit and be a happy socialist aide worker.  that is all.
