rrghh
I've taken a trapeze class, crossed a hanging bridge in the middle of the rainforest, gotten my ear cartilage pierced and spent two days alone in Ireland. I have no problem letting go of myself, but I have a hard time letting go of other people. This post secret resonated more with me than the thousands I've read over the years:

This story popped up on my iGoogle homepage:

Basically, a 15-year-old who found his older brother hanging from a tree outside a local church the year before participates in a texting conversation with a girl from his high school (who he's never met before) about his relationship with his girlfriend. ( Read more... ) -
three is the magic number
So, a while back I posted an entry outing myself as a public poopaphobe. Most of the comments I got were supportive, but I was still left feeling kind of alone.
Today I had to visit the bathroom THREE TIMES to rid myself of my high-fiber breakfast. Each time someone either (a. was already occupying a stall, thus forcing me to pretend I was only in ( Read more... ) -
people v. poop
I read DCist on a regular basis, and it's extremely helpful in terms of updating me with event postings, political goings-on and news around the city. Sometimes the news is more informative (or scary, if it's about a shooting) than entertaining, but I found part of today's post fascinating.

correcting the written word makes me giddy
This afternoon my sister sent me a few of her grad school application essays to look over, with a 20 minute deadline for feedback because she needed to mail them out by 3. I whipped out my red pencil, scanned and e-mailed them back in 15. I love editing -- this was the most fun I've had at my job in weeks. I'm still kind of buzzed from it. Why the ( Read more... ) -
in light of recent events, I can't stop thinking about this song
You know they call them killer whales
But you seemed surprised
When it pinned you down to the bottom of the tank
Where you can't turn around
It took half your leg and both your lungs...
(chorus)
I'm a man-man-man, man-man-man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised, when I eat ya...

so sleepy
Stuff:- Brian's band, the Paper Jets, just got accepted to play at the Cherry Blossom Festival in April. I'm so excited for them! (and take full credit, because I sent B the link to apply). I'm taking that Friday off so I can catch the show and run around snapping pictures of tourists.
