Two awesome things happened today at work:
1. I got to hold a baby.
2. I was appointed as a marshall in the gay pride parade for Amnesty International.

Usually when I tell people that something awesome is going to happen, it turns out to be not as awesome in reality. Fortunately, that was not the case with the U2 concert. It was awesome. Seriously awesome. Possibly the best experience of my life. Being on the grounds crew at Fenway was awesome. But it was more awesome in theory than in reality. In ( Read more... )

Last Friday, I left work early to go to New York to see My Chemical Romance because I'm all emo like that. The Greyhound Bus was not actually a Greyhound; it was much nicer! But the traffic was, of course, bad since it was a rainy Friday. I successfully met up with sparklyfabulous at Port Authority after a hilarious phone conversation: "I'm in front of a Hudson ( Read more... )

My life is more like college now than it has been for the past couple of years. I think it's no coincidence that since I've lived with 22-year-olds, I've had someone pee on my floor.

I know I've mentioned this a million times before, but my iPod is definitely psychic. I was locking up my bike today in the parking lot of my office, and the bungee cord thingy on my panier that keeps it hooked to the rack snapped a bit and hit me in the thumb. I started bleeding, and I was listening to "Let it Bleed." Luckily, it didn't hurt -- ( Read more... )

We had free lunch at work today because our VP of Marketing is leaving us for another company. One of the perks of this other company is that she can bring her dog to work. "What if people are allergic?" I asked. Someone said, "You could take medication." Yeah, like I'm going to pay for a prescription so some entitled dog owners can bring their ( Read more... )
