Top 5 Things I am Thankful for right now:
1.The most amazing and supportive family ever, seeing as everything is in limbo land for me right now;
2. All the ridiculously talented, kind- ( Read more... ) -
Updates; a blog in three parts
Written at work, Friday the 19th:
Well, tomorrow is my last day at my current job. It's mostly a good thing - I will be able to focus more on my studies and produce the quality of work I want, rather than run out of time and just settle for what I was able to do. And it's kinda not, 'cause, well, no job = no monies. And I don't think I'll be looking ( Read more... ) -

So I came across this song the other day. It's Darlin' Do Not Fear, by Brett Dennen, and it's wonderful and I really kind of want a Game of Thrones vid to it.
I mean really, with lines like "I was half a world away from my home/ and I was hunted by the wolves /and I was heckled by the crows" (I just want to hug ALL THE CHARACTERS (especially Arya ( Read more... ) -

So I've applied to study Art History abroad at Boğaziçi University over in Istanbul for the Spring Semester. :D:D:D
I've also applied for a couple of scholarships, including the Gilman - which is a pretty big one for study abroad, and they usually give you $5,000-8,000 if you win. So I'm really hopping that I can get that. I've got a few more ( Read more... ) -
Have all of my Real-life updates at once (try this whiplash on for size)
Welp. My girlfriend and I broke up today.
Woo, first break-up.
*sigh*
We both knew it was coming. We'd decided pretty early on that we couldn't do long-distance. This was when I was looking at Universities not in Portland. I decided to go to PSU so I'm still in town, but I'm crazy busy, and she's been having her own set of issue/ shity things to deal ( Read more... ) -

Well, after finishing up my associates degree at PCC and taking a year off to work and figure out where and what I'm doing next... It's my first day of classes at PSU as an Art History major. Yes, I'm still working (3 12-hour days every week instead of 4 one week and 3 the next), and yes, I'm taking a full course load. Yeeeaaah, no one is going to ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts Aren't for Thinking (You only Think They Are)
Written at work yesterday:
A month ago I sent myself the first two chapters of Shoebox to re-read at work when things were slow/between jobs/waiting for wafers to process/etc.
Yesterday I read the last two chapters, and today I finished up with the last little bits (the retrospective & Deathly Hellos). I had lots and lots of fun re-reading the whole ( Read more... ) -

I don't know how much I've talked about it here, if at all, but my grandpa has Alzheimer’s. He's had it for a few years now, but it was pretty sudden - a quick decent, but he's been more or less at the same level for quite a while. He's in a wheelchair all the time now, and he doesn't talk much, and when he does most of its incoherent. He does ( Read more... )
