My close friend/ex-roomie Cheryl is getting a divorce from her husband after 21 years of marriage and needs some women-power, angry-at-the-government, righteous justice sort of help. When she moved in with me over a year ago she started trying to divorce him, but he used the financial control he had over her to stop her (he had taxes for several ( Read more... )

Megan is the coolies. She is tiny-small and super-tall (to me) with long brown hair that is in every way perfect. She's charismatic in this way that is hypnotizing to watch, especially if you are looking for someone to drown yourself in. She is greatness.

I get to go on the D.C. protest for free this weekend, see Meegan and Janelle in D.C., and go to my latest horror movie obsession with Cheryl tomorrow.

Thank goodness for birthdays.

This is the first day I've come to work and not been frantic with work. I thought Dr. Hardt was coming in today so I came in last night to finish up my research. But, as it turns out, she is in Philly and I am here, bored, manning a phone that never rings in the office ( Read more... )

I am completely blown away by how one event can be so utterly earth-shaking to one person {preferably a prone to emo fits person like me} and not at all noticable to another. It is, to quote Caroline with something she would probably never say with the same connotation again, Awesome.
