This weekend I went out of town, except the person I was carpooling with lives in Marin, which means I had to take a bus or find another way to get there. My friend called me up and said, "How do you feel about riding on the back of my motorcycle?" I said, "Sure. Why not? I'm a bit scared but let's do it anyway ( Read more... )

So obviously writing is my therapy and there's a catharsis in sharing it with THE ENTIRE WORLD so here I go again ( Read more... )

It's been a high school kind of night. I went and saw the Alvin Ailey dance company, which was PHENOMENAL and one of my high school classmates performed in it. And then another high school classmate made a YouTube video because Ingrid Michaelson is having a video contest. The song is awesome and all about love. I couldn't resist sending something.

I feel so blessed. This was like a weekend-anniversary-celebration palooza. Dinner with friends Saturday night. On Sunday I had dinner with dimethirwen and some other friends of mine. Yesterday she and I went to see the Painted Ladies (aka the Victorian houses in the opening credits of Full House) along with my long-time friends K and S. It was just so lovely ( Read more... )

I was thinking about this last night and I realized in a way I'm reliving my childhood. Instead of growing up, I'm growing down ( Read more... )

I am ticked off. I'm going out of town this weekend -- up to Grass Valley to practice kung fu with Shaolin monks (woot!) and I'm annoyed about transportation.

The following is a conversation I had with D on Wednesday:

Me: "So, are you going to pick me up from work or from home? I'd prefer home so I don't have to lug all my stuff with me (meaning a ( Read more... )

I am SO excited about this. Brad Yates, the guy who's youtube videos I link to all the time is coming to SF for my meetup group!!! I am so excited! I'm promoting the heck out of this, I really hope it happens. I need at least 20 people to pre-register to make sure it's worth his while to come down.

Dear lord, if you want this to happen, I know it ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness. Tonight I learned how to fight with a SWORD. Sort of. I mean, all I know is the down stroke but still! A sword (a wooden one)! So fun! I'm going to learn how to be so badass. Look out world! ;)

Also, does anyone else find when they are scowling (or as my sister says, have a huge FU face on) people say to them, "Smile!" This happens ( Read more... )

I don’t really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes with George Bush and his wife and you put leeches on. Bill Clinton is ashamed that Extreme Home Makeover sucks. Your memories from the military service should help. Your mom told in my confession today about our friendship.

I swear, there are few things on this Earth I love more than Cathedrals, except for, you know, people. I find it really amusing a little Jewish, hippy child LOVES cathedrals so much. Even when I visit new places, just take me to a cathedral and I'll be happy. Ask ahimsa114 , she figured it out ages ago. I mean, it makes sense because there are few man-made ( Read more... )
