A new hard drive is daunting. A new pair of amazingly slimming, dark-wash, straight-leg jeans dulls the pain.

If you want me to have your mailing address or possibly email address (if you haven't emailed me in a while) then you'll have to email me. I lost my address book on the old hard drive.

I only realized this weekend showing Ducky around the city how much I love it here. Now, I'm not saying I'll love it forever or stay for years, but I love it right now and that's more than enough. I've adjusted to the things that bothered me at first and now I love that people drive slowly and carefully, I love that everything is just a little ( Read more... )

This may seem like a really stupid reason to post for the first time in a few months, but I'm very bitter and angry. Why is it that when I move to a place it sets a record for rainfall? Yes, after .44 inches of rain on Wednesday, this is officially the wettest November on record for Seattle. And we're on pace to "shatter" the previous record for ( Read more... )

So I sort of thought that I was done w/ LJ, but I have had the most incredibly ridiculous few days that I need to tell people. I also want to warn everyone about New Mexico. New Mexico is a dangerous state and I am not a fan. I took off from Fort Stockton, TX on Wednesday and made it to Carlsbad Caverns and, apart from giving myself big blisters ( Read more... )

I had a craving for really fake cupcakes, the kind the moms made for birthdays in elementary school. Mix out of a box, frosting out of a can. So I got the stuff and made the batter (amazing, it takes less than 10 minutes). I had no more than two bites of batter and two of frosting, no more! The damn things made me sick for like three hours. ( Read more... )

So my mom and I were discussing how much it's going to cost me to drive out to Seattle (I'm estimating 200-300 for gas alone). We realized that it's going to be a hell of a lot more expensive than just flying me and shipping my stuff. So now she thinks that I should sell my car. Wouldn't have to pay insurance, wouldn't have to pay for a parking ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen Serenity? I just watched it yesterday and, despite expecting to hate it, it was AWESOME. I like movies that kill main characters without any teary goodbye speech or intense lead-up. Just BAM! dead. And it's funny. Man, good movie ( Read more... )

They won't stop talking about medicine. Dinners, apart from being incredibly boring, make me feel isolated and freakish for my alternative life decisions, i.e. not going into medicine. I've tried politely saying that I would like to devote at least a little of the dinner talk to some subject other than medicine, anything, I don't even care. I've ( Read more... )

I have a UW email address! I'm so excited!

mrc2@u.washington.edu

ok, I know, it's kind of lame. But I didn't get to pick it.

but still. It's cool.

so, when i signed up for this summer program there was a place where you write an essay to apply for a fellowship. i didn't do that because, well, i'm really lazy. i didn't know that getting one of those fellowships is basically a given, it's not my fault. anyway, i got an email today saying that i got $2500 for the summer. without applying.
