I am a West Coast wussy. While I was in Boston this weekend I complained about the cold A LOT. My poor California-acclimated self couldn't handle it. Not so much because it was cold per se, but because it was windy. I do have to say though it's nice to put my heavy winter sweaters to use because otherwise they're languishing forlorn in my closet, ( Read more... )

And another thing. My sister is the lead in her school's main stage show, which considering it's basically an arts school, is a pretty big deal. It's a two person show and the playwright is going to be there and everything. (Go Petals!) SO. I'm going back to Boston at the end of February to support her with family in tow. My brother might even come ( Read more... )

I am so in love with San Francisco. And really grateful for my higher power watching out for me. Yesterday I got to the airport early and took a nap at my gate. Turns out they changed the gate on me. I didn't realize that until they announced, "Now boarding the plane for Austin," although I started having suspicions when the people around me kept ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is but being here, being in Boston, I feel really out of sorts. Some might chalk it up to jet-lag (I don't because I don't get jet-lag), but even if it was, I've been here since Friday. It should have worn off by now ( Read more... )

Ok so I just got a telephone call from someone whose voice sounded really familiar, a male, and I didn't catch the name! Ah! But apparently he knows me because he called me by name. And he lives in the Bay area because he asked me if I wanted to go running with him, which I declined because I hate running and I'm still sick. It's a 303 area code, ( Read more... )

I'm decompressing from my trip. Last week was one of the busiest I think I've ever had ever. Not only did I do all the things I had planned with my sister, on Wednesday we packed up her car and drove to Eugene. It's an 8, 9 hour drive. It was great to be with her though. My sister is a flake-y artist (only one of many in my life) and thus it takes ( Read more... )

This week is going to be awesome sauce. And one of the busiest to date. It's my hope that by writing it all down it will cease to kick around in my head.

My sister is in town! Which means there is a lump in my bed. Which means I'm a l'il more sleep deprived than usual. Consequently we are all over the place. Pedals, her friend C and I all went to ( Read more... )

My neighbor is adorable. I've written about him before but what happened is yesterday he knocked on my door and said his internet was down. He asked if he could use mine because he needed to look up something on PayPal and his girlfriend? roommate? tried using her phone and it was just getting ridiculous. I have wireless and so I gave him the ( Read more... )

Oh my god my sister went SKYDIVING IN EUROPE. And she celebrated Carnivale dressed as a red Crayola crayon. Looking at her pictures on facebook inspires some serious jealousy in me, not because I want to go skydiving -- I'm scared of heights and would pee my pants if I did -- but because I WANT TO TRAVEL AND DO FUN THINGS. WHY CAN'T I HAVE MORE 

Pedals might be weirded out I'm posting this on LJ but I don't care.

My sister is a freakin performer. Here's her rendition of "Single ladies (put a ring on it)." I hope everyone can see it. I know she's my sister and all but I couldn't take my eyes off of her. So clearly I'm biased but I feel like whenever I see her perform she has so much stage ( Read more... )
