FYI
Men make terrible low wage workers. If I were ever in a position where I had to hire low wage workers, I would never hire (straight, white, young) men. They are almost 100 percent of the time utterly worthless.
Depending on my mood after this third beer, I may or may not go into unnecessary detail in a follow up post. -
Million dollar house
This is the house my parents used to own. I lived here ages 11-17. Look this fucking house.
As you can probably imagine, I expected a radically different adulthood than the one I've been leading for the past 8 years. I will never forget the day we left that house and how tramautic it was.
If you look at the bottom you can see when we bought it ( ( Read more... ) -

My "interests" are in need of updating. This will make for a fun hour. -
pie/window/bike
I fell down in blackberry bushes so my forearms and wrists are covered in red slashes. It looks really SI. It was worth it because we got almost nine pounds of blackberries. I can't wait for tomorrow, when I eat a shameful amount of pie ( Read more... ) -

But I guess now we just have to live with the knowledge that if there's an earthquake here sometime in the next eight years during school hours my kid will die.
Her school has a "Very High" ( Read more... ) -

I went to Beaverton yesterday for the first time. I haven't actually set a step outside of Portland in three years which is so weird. I have that book, Portland City Walks, and I've exhausted all the east side ones. I couldn't get over how quiet it was away from the main streets. It reminded me of the more likeable areas of Orange County, like ( Read more... ) -
STOP IT
I am officially bored of the rain. It has rained 23 days so far this month. And most of the time, like today, it isn't pretty light spring rain. It's pouring. It's fucking gray as hell, windy, and there was even hail earlier. Not enjoying spring so far. -

Must refrain from posting LJ comments while drinking. Except on Damnportlanders.
I've had a weird up and down day. It feels turbulent and unsettling. I think it's because I attempted things today. And attempting things is disruptive. I miss my usual kind of bored, kind of happy, kind of anxious but not especially anything baseline. Can I resist ( Read more... )
