There are victorious shouts in the street outside my house and tears streaming down my face.  In my adult life I couldn't picture what it would be like to be proud of my country and its leader and I can't imagine being more proud than I am right now.  We have come together and elected a man who I believe will lead on behalf of everyone, whose ( Read more... )

K, so to understand this, it helps if you have seen the episode "Game Night" from season 1 of the tv show How I Met Your Mother...or if you are inside my head ( Read more... )

I am having a total self-editing moment where I am all reading my most recent entries and cringing. Where exactly did my sense of humor go? I am all emo/drama/whining around. And when not doing that, I go into ultra crazy fan girl mode, which I totally concede is authentic, but I feel presents a misleading picture when paired with the lugubrious ( Read more... )

 I am FINALLY leaving New Jersey.  Villiagers rejoice.  It should be a national, no an international, holiday.  I have put my life on hold for the past two years.  I just can't get off the ground here (heh, see what I did there).  (although, ironic side note, a group of friends is just starting to come together here in NJ, and I am just a bit sad ( Read more... )

 
What's this? Oh, oh my God! It's a new blog.  It's actually a favorite things blog.  I adore several things rather senselessly at the moment, so I am here to jot them down.  If you are reading this, you might want to take notes as it will generally help you out in life to like cool things.

I have been going over and over one subject in my mind for a long time and I really need to write about it. I don't usually get up on a soapbox (or maybe I do more than I would like to admit; all right, I do it constantly but do I get points for trying to do it without being obnoxious?), but I need to get this out of me. So here is me getting ( Read more... )

The last four days have been all about the never-before-experienced. I was on call, minding my buisness, when at about 2 in the afternoon, I checked my line. Surprised that I did get a trip and even more surprised that I didn't recognize the pairing number I clicked on it to find out that it was indeed a big one. Delhi, India, one of the highest ( Read more... )

I am going through one of those periods where there is a subtle shift of the mind and you just look at things differently than you did. Which is actually pretty fortunate timing because it was getting a bit desolate in the old mental landscape for a while. I go through periods where everything becomes sort of plastic and it takes me a long time ( Read more... )
