I skate fast and turn left. Yeah, if you didn’t know already, I play roller derby for the Gotham Girls. I skate pretty fast. And sometimes I hit other people while doing it. And for the record, no, I am not “too small” to play derby. I am a bubble tea connoisseur. I have strong [...]

Quick notes about my new job
August 30, 2011 at 12:10 pm · 0 comments
The new job is going well, but I am not allowed to say much about it online (so if you’ve been wondering why I’ve been so quiet about it, that’s why). I think it’s safe to say a few things though: I had to acquire new clothes (no jeans allowed). Not only that, but on [...]
Quick life update: 25th birthday, new job, Fresh Meat, and upcoming vacations

I have been a rotten blogger lately and I apologize for that. So before June slips into July, I wanted to give you all a quick update on my life. I had a great 25th birthday. I had a low-key celebration at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria. I got a lot of great [...]
The gifts drum corps hath given me.

Efficiency. I am now so fast at showering and/or getting ready to go somewhere, it’s unbelievable. I’ve put boyfriends to shame. Drum corps also made me a firm believer of getting it done right the first time (although I’m pretty sure that if you did this in drum corps, you would still have to do [...]
Reasons why I like California.

Californians are total eco freaks. I have always been interested in being green/saving the environment/all that jazz, but it hasn’t always been made easy for me. The only instances I can think of are at TIC and Kresge, where they had bins for recycling printer paper. At MIIS, there are more recycling bins than trash [...]

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:

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 [...]

We’re almost 23 (and you’re still mad at me).

My birthday this year was pretty good. I got $30 from Grandma and $40 from Dad. I received a package from Corner with a newly adjusted collar for Nigel and some goodies from Trader Joe’s. Apparently there is still another package coming from him. Today I received a GARGANTUAN package from Mom and KC containing [...]
