To the man who leaned on his horn and yelled at me while I road my bike home on one of DC's busier streets: thank you. While I initially thought that your honking and waving to the broken street on my right was an indication that you wanted me out of the road, I clearly misunderstood that you were simply trying to get my attention and give me a ( Read more... )

Okay, so, while I'm not desperate enough yet to post this to any communities, but I'm just desperate enough to put something here. Housing at the gender odyssey conference for my two co-presenters and myself has just, sort of, fallen through. Essentially, unless we're hip to either a sex party or non-consensual 'snuggling' with the guy we were to ( Read more... )

Seeing as it has been nearly a year since my last update and yet I still manage to utilize lj as my favorite way to procrastinate daily, it's probably time for me to contribute. Lets see...finished up my first year of grad school and now entering my second year. One more year of coursework and I'm off to 'dissertate'! I'm still amazed that I ( Read more... )

well, I'm back...leaner than ever, oddly tanned and with legs of steel. 2 days ago I rolled into DC after nearly two and a half months cycling myself from San Francisco to Washington DC. More to come later, but to the guys who were down for doing some rides with me, contact me asap; I'm going crazy. After spending 8 hours a day biking, every day ( Read more... )

Had a delightful dream last night. Was registering for classes for grad school with my soon-to-be advisor and suddenly the campus of American University was a giant party (not the drunken sort, more chill). The weather was amazing and the sky was a pristine blue. My advisor told me that I was his favorite and I had the best Mai Tai of all time ( Read more... )

I'm always so good at finding ways to waste time when I have things I should be doing...heh...oh well. I'll get there soon enough. So, for those that care, many exciting things have been popping up in my normally anti-climatic life. Lets see...got into American's Applied Anthropology PhD program AND *dramatic pause* have been awarded FULL ( Read more... )

Ugh, I just can't get myself motivated to do anything. My parasympathetic system has been indulged much too much over the past month. Drinking, sleeping full nights, light school load and now with this new addition of weed I find it nearly impossible to consider doing anything but curling up in my delightfully warm and soft bed to listen to music ( Read more... )

Got straight A's after a grueling 21-hour semester (and am bitterly lonely as a result of my self-imposed exile), am finishing grad school school app's, and am fairly certain I will be riding a bike (the kind that is powered by my two feet) from San Franscico to Washington DC this summer with Global Exchange to benefit international fair trade and ( Read more... )

Jason and I have now been together for three years...though we've only managed to actually be in the same city for a little over half of that time:) Last night I watched a woman play a cello so intensely she broke hairs on her bow. Amazing. I'm tired of North Carolina. I'm ready to start waking up next to my boyfriend again and not last night's ( Read more... )

Last night I realized:
1) my favorite snack is prunes
2) my cereal has "fiber twigs" in it
3) I prefer to wake up before the sun has risen
4) I prefer to be in bed by 10pm
5) I have a powerful disdain and distrust for pop culture

I think I need to apply for my AARP card.
