Today one of the people in my office came up to me and said that she had left some stuff on my chair that needed to be sent to some media company. When I got back to my desk, there was a check for $538,933.50 sitting on my chair. This is ridiculous.

This weekend was the big Phil/ Alicia wedding extravaganza, so I flew on down to Austin to partake in the festivities. My brother lives in Austin and I hadn't gotten a chance to see over Christmas, so I'd decided to make it a long weekend thing. Now let me say here, that I haven't been in Austin in over four years (I'd only been in Texas once ( Read more... )

I was reading through some of my livejournal archives and realized how long it's been since I posted anything read-able. This will probably be a fairly feeble attempt, seeing as I'm fairly rusty and I've had my share of wine to drink tonight. Also, please don't rag on me about the spelling. My computer is set to British English and I'm not gonna ( Read more... )

I spent most of the day shopping for a costume to wear to my friends 1980's/FAME themed birthday party next weekend. It is terrifying how easy it was. Isn't that an era of fashion never to be revisited? I just can't imagine regretting the fact that I threw out my shoulder pads 15 years ago.

Some people from my program are coming to New York next week and are interested in doing some non-touristy stuff, so if anyone has any shows or other fun stuff happening let me know and I'll send them your way. They are really nice people and I don't think any of them have ever been to America before, so you can amaze them with your crazy American

I bought myself a ring. I didn't wear a ring the entire time we were together. Maybe I thought if my finger was bare he would be inclined to adorn it. Maybe I was just too distracted to care about jewelry. The weight of the ring is comforting to me. A reminder that I haven't lost myself. I've known it, for a long while now, that he wasn't THE ( Read more... )

By the way, that's how all the girls look in Sheffield. Seriously guys, you're missing out.

It turns out that British men are very attracted to ladies with American accents. I don't really know how I never noticed this. I guess I was always with Dave, so I was never available. Now that I am single, there is this onslaught of men telling me how much they love my accent. It just seemed crazy that you can be attracted to someone because ( Read more... )

I'm moving back to England in two weeks. I'm going to Boulder first for a family reunion and then I'm off. Hopefully they will let me in. I will try to be better about keeping up my LJ. It's hard to stay motivated when you don't have internet in your house so I haven't been very good about writing. But this will change. I have a new LJ ( Read more... )
