My ass hurts from spending the last 3 weeks sitting on it. My life since I got home from Kenyon has consisted of applying for jobs (whihc I don't have yet), watching law and ordre (which i can't enjoy because I don't have a job) and hanging out with Krissy and Keoppel (which generally doesn't consist of very much, because they work alot and I have ( Read more... )

Not only is it snowing in April, Karen is updating her livejournal! Crraazy. Actually, I'm not really updating, I'm just procrastinating and thought that I would note that I'm still alive.

Consequentially I freaked out, hit myself in the face twice with various car doors, and got piss ass drunk. But I don't want to think about that right now, so instead ( Read more... )

Now I'm incredibly excited about the panel and, more ( Read more... )

I met this group of college kids in Suzhou. It was my last day in china and I was wandering around an ancient garden when it started to rain. I hid in a pagoda in the middle of a lily pond and was watching the rain (very zen) when a group of chinese college kids ran into the pagoda too. They didn't know that I could speak (kinda) Chinese, so ( Read more... )
