Hey everybody.

You're all probably wondering what's held me up for so long, but I was off in London for two weeks.  I don't like to advertise where/when I'm going until after the fact.  ^__^  But I had an absolutely fantastic time!  And I understand London references and many other English things related so much better now, omg.  It's kind of ( Read more... )

So, my totally awesome friend managed to get us fourth row tickets to the USA vs. Brazil game here last week.  We ended up breaking the record for biggest US audience at a USA Soccer/Football game!  :D  And we had a streaker.  It was all massively fun, even if I did predict the end score to a tee.  ^^;  Anyway, here are pics from the game!  :D ( Read more... )

:D  I finally have enough miles to fly to London for free!

So, I'm going this summer (pre-Olympics) and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for things to do.

So last night I went to the British Ambassador's house for the Annual Reception for the DC Alums of WM.  I had a fantastic time even though I was rather dreading the going there alone part - funny thing, champagne makes talking to strangers quite easy.  XD  But I met the British Ambassador and his wife along with the Taylor Reveley and the new ( Read more... )

So I was looking at the top 50 rated schools in the U.S. and mine made no. 5~!!  :D

10. Private

So, I did something that I'd been arguing over with my parents for... well over a year.  I got rid of my land line and cable tv.  Because I pretty much don't use them at all and they made me get them.  ^__^  So I pretty much got rid of them and I e-mailed them and told them afterwards.

Bwahahaha~!  XD

*squeal of joy*  Someone from my local football team just made the World Cup national football team!!!

I am so ridiculously proud right now.  XD

 Dude, I am so excited like you don't even know.

I'M GOING TO SEE THE DC UNITED V. EVERTON GAME TOMORROW!!!!  XDDDDD

Granted Everton's technically Liverpool's (my favored team) second biggest rival.  (Biggest being Man U.  D:<)  BUT I get to see Tim Howard!!!  Time Howard being the ever so awesome goalkeeper for the US National Team this past ( Read more... )

So you know this Eric kid I'd been talking about who's an intern for our office?  Funny thing, our dads actually know each other from the Foreign Service.  And we were in Manila at the exact same time.  Funny.  But... um... it turns out I don't actually like him that much.  He kind of gets on my nerves.  Not for any good reason, he just sort of ( Read more... )

 Oh man, this is going to be the most awesome Fourth of July ever!  XD  I'm taking the plunge and I'm going to be going to the Mall to see the fireworks.  Although it does mean scoping out a place at 10 AM to get a good seat.  XP  STILL!  It will be awesome!  Just so long as I find enough people to play Dutch Blitz.  ^^;  I need four and I've got ( Read more... )
