I finally made it.
This town looks rearranged.
I don't know these people anymore.
But in the best ways,
not much else has changed
from the way it was before.

So, I'm procrastinating grad school applications, and therefore going to make a list of some of the places I'd like to travel to someday ( Read more... )

It's a crime that more new outlets haven't covered the National Equality March.  Some estimates say as many as 75,000 people marched in the streets and blanketed the Capitol lawn, and yet there's been barely any coverage.

Just the same, it was a pretty special event and I'm glad that I got to be there.  As much as I've been down on DC lately, that * ( Read more... )

Can anyone tell me why taking a multi-vitamin without food makes you feel nauseous?

I've started working at a dance studio here in DC, at the front desk.  Yesterday, a 9-year-old boy named Will came into the studio for his tap class.  There were a couple other kids there signing in, and we were making conversation with them by asking if they had the day off from school.  Some kids said yes, some said no.  But Will said "No, I didn ( Read more... )

My co-worker: "Listen, if the students ask where I am tonight, tell them they can find me drunk at the Cheesecake Factory in Reston, VA."

So.  I got a lot of stuff to do in not so much time.

- Pick some grad schools (seriously)
- Write at least 1,000 words per day of short stories, or my longer one - which I have dropped the ball on and not been doing.
- Finish & submit my Americorps application (unbelievably, this could actually happen tomorrow)
- Go to Ithaca for multiple days, see ( Read more... )

I have to say, when people - with the exception of my mom - call me "Katherine", I always feel slightly alienated.  My mom is the only person in my actual life who ever calls me Katherine, and it's generally used in sentences like "Katherine, why do you have to go caving?" and "Katherine, what am I going to do with you?"  So whenever I go to a job ( Read more... )
