Boyfriend appreciation moment:

October 23, 2008 at 15:23 pm · 3 comments

Yesterday I took the CalTrain to/from work at Stanford. It’s a 1.5 hour ride as opposed to battling traffic on the 101. However, the CalTrain station is 0.9 miles from the office, so I thought I was being smart when I brought a second pair of shoes (instead of my heels) to make the journey [...]

So a lot has been going on since I last spent some quality time with my blog. Well, I’ve been working on tweaking a new layout but haven’t sat down to write an entry in awhile. First, I got a temp job through Aquent with Stanford Hospital & Clinics Communications office. My first day of [...]

Soooooo I’ve decided to cross-post my WordPress blog to LiveJournal. Mostly to make it easier for my LJ friends to read and comment on my entries. This entry is mostly just a quick test to ensure that my cross-posting plugin is doing its job. I’m experimenting with having the comments cross-posted as well, but that [...]

Lots going on, so a quick update. Corner and I went out for sushi on his birthday and to PF Chang’s for our 2 year anniversary. I suppose I could pause for a moment and reflect on how amazing he is and the fact that we’ve been dating 2 years and it feels like 2 [...]

We have arrived.

Nigel, Corner, and I have arrived in California safe & sound. We are currently staying with Bolt, another former SMB tuba, in Fairfield. Bolt’s place is on the edge of the good & bad parts of town. Let’s just say I don’t take the dog out alone at night. On Sunday we drove into the [...]

Important life update: I’m moving!

I apologize for keeping everyone in suspense regarding my plans at this important juncture of my life. Corner flew in to Indianapolis on the evening of Tuesday, August 5. We had a late night snack at Triple XXX (probably my favorite place in West Lafayette!). My last day of work was Wednesday, August 6. I [...]

MSU vs. Purdue

I’m into making lists lately, and since I have now spent an entire summer at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, I thought I would make a list of differences that I have noticed between Michigan State and Purdue. MSU > Purdue The amount of grass on campus The number of squirrels on/near campus Football [...]

Reasons why I am a hippie:

August 4, 2008 at 15:22 pm · 0 comments

I pretty much don’t believe in guns.  I think only police should be allowed to carry them. And you would never catch me shooting one. I don’t think something that can end life should be treated as a sport. I recently switched to o.b. tampons. They are pretty much amazing. And they produce only 1/3 [...]

University of Michigan UC Berkeley Carnegie Mellon Stanford Now to take the GRE. I have a feeling it’s going to be absolutely brutal. I bought tons of study materials and have started working my way through the verbal workbook. I would like to think I have a pretty decent vocabulary, but I usually only get [...]

Lay your armor down.

Someone recently asked me to tell them a secret about myself and I thought I would share my responses: My backup plan in life is to become a body piercer. Why, you might ask? My reasoning: After perfecting the craft, I could work anywhere in the country/world. When you’re a body piercer, you can have [...]
