At the end of the first season on X-Files, one of the show's major characters was killed off (Deep Throat). This was shocking and gutsy and pretty unusual, and people ate that shit up. Unfortunately, Chris Carter knew that people loved it, and from then on, every time he got stuck for a story line, he killed off another character. By the time the ( Read more... ) -
One Day (from happydog)
Many years ago, I was just starting a romantic relationship with a boy who later became a boyfriend. One night we went out with another friend, and ended up sitting in the friend's car in front of my house, talking. The friend fell asleep, and on the sly, the boy and I held hands.

I love the smell of chlorine in the morning
I love the following smells:
1. Chlorine. Both swimming pools and laundry with bleach in hot water

3. Car heaters. That hot, almost burnt smell
4. Tire stores, soaker hoses, and most things made from rubber
5. Railroad ties. I know ( Read more... ) -

In 1997, I went back to college after 5 years spent working and just getting by. I wanted to get into the Landscape Architecture program at the University of Washington, and one of my first classes was Introduction to Landscape Architecture. I had never worked so hard at school in my life, but the creativity and camaraderie in that class inspired ( Read more... ) -
My favorite thing about Seattle
My very favorite thing about living in Seattle is that it is 9:54 pm, and it is just now dusk. Every summer, I feel so lucky to be here. -
