are really great. i've been in san francisco since thursday night and i drive back tomorrow, and it's been a lot of fun (thanks matt for being such a great host). being down here has also helped me to really think about my conundrum of where i want to be or go after my year of LVC is over. while i really am hesitant to completely commit....i've ( Read more... )

was pretty frackin' amazing in concert last night. yep, that's it.

man, i'm so over the whole "intentional community" thing. i can't wait to go down to california (both san francisco over easter and southern california the week after my birthday)...and i can't wait for this year of LVC to just be over.

finally got back to seattle at 8 this morning. luckily one of my housemates was up when i called after my plane got in and was able to pick me up, because i was just in a complete daze by then after so little sleep. i don't think i've ever been so happy in my life to not be going anywhere for a few weeks - but i am definitely still excited about ( Read more... )

well, after getting almost no sleep wednesday night, about 8 hours thursday night, and 5 hours friday night, i am now pulling another night of practically no sleep. i am currently at san francisco international airport...i've been here since about 12:45am and will leave at approximately 6:00am. i, of course, was originally supposed to be back in ( Read more... )

well, after being home for a whopping 3 days (just barely), i'm leaving again tonight for washington, dc for christian peace witness for iraq (www.christianpeacewitness.org). as much as getting out of my house is exactly what i want right now, going on another business trip, an overnight flight, etc, is not my idea of an escape, plus i feel like ( Read more... )

so....after my trip to the midwest, i really wish i was closer to being done with LVC than i am. i had a great time, but in some ways it would have been good for me to have not had as good of a time, because now i am just jealous of the LVC houses in the twin cities and noticing even more how much i really dislike my house (both the actual space ( Read more... )

is it a bad sign that i feel more relaxed and at home visiting people i barely know in minneapolis than i do when i'm at "home" in seattle? hmm.....

anyway, having a pretty great time here in the twin cities, despite the massive amount of snow. who'd have thought i would actually like snow sometimes?

there is a lot of snow here. i had kind of gotten used to the whole "it's almost spring" thing in seattle....and then i fly to the midwest for 11 days, lol. oh man...hopefully i won't die of cold or something while i'm here :)

so, just a little update on the crazy busy-ness that is my life. this weekend i was supposed to go down to oregon for the mid-year LVC retreat, but it was canceled due to not being able to get to the retreat center place b/c of snow. so....most of the volunteers from seattle (myself included) went up to canada for the weekend, which, overall, was ( Read more... )
