I'm moving tomorrow, to an apartment 3 blocks away from my current place. It's a great apartment. I just have to figure out how to pay for it now, lol. Since I don't have a real job yet, and am still working my student gig doing dorm internet support. But, we got kicked out of our apartment for renovations and we had to go somewhere... so here's ( Read more... )

Wooo no chemotherapy for my dad after all. Just a few more years on the same meds.

So, sorry if I've been living in a hole for a while- I was a bit preoccupied.

Abby and I just managed to disperse an entire boxful of dirty kitty litter throughout the two stairways and three hallways of our apartment building. It seems a bag tore when we were taking the garbage out. There were cat turds every couple of steps. Thank god none of the neighbors caught us before we cleaned it up. Just wanted to share that with ( Read more... )

Fuck. I just got scammed for the first time since I came to NY. I'll take the risk of looking like a gullible idiot, and share the story in case anyone else runs into the same thing ( Read more... )

 OMG new kitty! His name is Mako. Jack hates him, but will get over it in another day or so, if past patterns with him stay the same.

 Woohoo, got a new job at ResNet, which is the NYU internet service. I'll be doing tech support type stuff. I am friends with my boss, Frank, and I got the job by telling him that he should hire me while were at bubble tea.

Winter break is almost over, I fly back to NY tomorrow morning. Had lots of fun hanging out with my family. Saw my Washington friends a couple times, but they all had to go back to school a few weeks ago, so I've mostly been wasting time and sleeping.

One thing I've been doing with my time is eating up all the feminist blogs on the internet. Be ( Read more... )

I think this is my first livejournal meme. But since Harry Potter fanfic is my favorite thing in the entire world (you've all read this, right?) I guess I have to.

1. Use fanfiction.net's Search Story By Summary and look up your name in Harry Potter.
2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding ones and post the summary ( Read more... )

This is why you don't sew at 4 am:

I'm working on  my April O'Neil jumpsuit, using a pattern for  pants and a jacket and sewing them together at the waist. The jacket obviously extends well below the waist, so I put it on and mark the waistline. Then I think to myself, "now I will add a seam allowance" and hack off the bottom of the jacket 5/8" ( Read more... )

This morning I wake up at Renee's house after a night of sewing ( Read more... )
