I've been so busy moving, I have neglected to write about my new place! So far it is everything I wanted it to be. All my stuff is unpacked except for the decorative things that are waiting for me to build a shelf. Jonny hasn't been around, but Pete and Chris have been really great and accommodating. I feel very comfortable and very happy in this ( Read more... )

I will soon embark on what may be my last walk from work to the 1425. This is a walk I've literally made hundreds of times over the last three years. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. I gotta turn and face the strange. But first, a rainy walk home.

So, seriously, this house (and Travis) is the only thing I can think about! I'm past the being accepted stage and rolling into decorating. It's going to be simple this time: no band posters, no magazine collages, and as little clutter as possible.

I got the house! Woo! Woowoo! Now I just have to give them all my money and pack up all my things. I am going to hang my mom's hummingbird feeder outside the windows around my bed, get fat on homemade cheese burgers, and try to smile more. There will be a Goodbye 1425 party within the next few weeks; if I happen to own anything you've had your eye ( Read more... )

I went to see that room last night and absolutely fell in love with it -- the neighborhood is quiet, the room is huge, and the guys seemed really great. The room itself is bright and has a great view of the Aurora Bridge (as well as a glimpse of the troll), and is up on its own level where I could pretend to be a princess in her tower. Man I really ( Read more... )

Old housing dream: crushed

New housing dream: TOTALLY AWESOME! The guys sound great, the house looks clean, and I would have my own bathroom. From this location I could easily bike into downtown. They want to meet with me early next week. Pretty exciting.

Keep the digits crossed for me.

Tucson was a fun time! Friday we drove 3.5 hours to Mexico, discovered there was no room at the inn, listened to some AWESOME mariachi bands, and then drove back up to Tucson. It was surprisingly awesome. On Saturday we visited the San Xavier Mission and I discovered the joy of milagros! I am still debating what to make with the 30-40 little charms ( Read more... )

1) I asked him myself!

2) Chris took me to see Carrie Fisher's one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, at the Rep. It is extremely funny and shocking and true; I recommend you see it as soon as you can ( Read more... )

The bad habits I'm most struggling with right now are my tendency to sleep for hours too long and my absolute crap recall. Well, turns out my drug of choice, Lexapro, can cause a disorder called hypersomnia. The signs of hypersomnia include prolonged nighttime sleep, difficulty waking from a long sleep, restlessness, slow thinking, and memory ( Read more... )
