I'm sorry I've run out of time to tell you about the last states on my journey. Going through the Bad Lands made me decide to pursue an education in environmental studies which will hopefully lead to a job as a naturalist. SO, instead of a grand sweeping vista I will instead conjure images in your heads about my day today. Here are most of the ( Read more... )

My mom and I have stopped at what seems to be the last stop before the Bad Lands in South Dakota. Kansas was not sparsly populated in comparison to these states. We felt isolated. On a road that was flat for I would guess a mile at least in either direction we wouldn't see another car coming or going. There is a place called the Sand Hills. It ( Read more... )

I head for Seattle in a little over 2 weeks. I finally have a place to live (at least I think I do, my brother looked at the place and I left a phone message saying I'd take it, but the guy hasn't called back yet). I'll be renting a home in a 40 yr old's house, and he's still looking for a person to rent out the other room he's renting. Most likely ( Read more... )

OMGOMGOMG! I got a response from the apartment that was my favorite on Craigslist! WOOOOOOOOT! Please, please let these people whose politics I love, like movie nights (I will convert them to Doctor Who yet!), and are closer than anywhere else to school like meeeee!

It's official, the cute librarian is flirting with me. He talks to me every time I'm here, and today he came over and asked me what kind of music I've got in itunes. He says he's gonna hit me up for some of my 80s stuff next time. Does anyone have any Wham I can steal in the next few days? He was asking about them ( Read more... )

new user pic. From what was probably my first fandom aside from learning. No, I'm serious with that sentence. I loved the magic school bus but only because it had facts in it. Up until about 4th grade I wanted "facts not fiction". Now, when many friends have started reading biographies and books about the currents state of the world... fantasy all ( Read more... )

when I went to see the new Batman movie there was a 4 year old sitting in the row in front of me, next to Arthur. I made a stink about how he shouldn't be there. Most other people said that it was his dad's prerogative to take him and that they'd seen just as scary movies when they were little. I grumpily shut up ( Read more... )

1) Mild fear of bees after the wind blew one into my face from like 10 feet away and it stung me. I pulled the stinger out and flapped my hands and didn't cry and then got a leaky bag of ice from Sno Beach and everyone (except the bee :( ) was okay ( Read more... )

So a few weeks ago I watched American Experience on PBS which is a program that focusus on a person or event or time or something in America's history. It's 3 hours long though and so I only ever watch the last hour. For the first two I watch Bones and House. (Yes all you people who are addicted and I didn't participate because I was playing with ( Read more... )
