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 cans [...]

I recently switched to o.b. tampons. They are pretty much amazing. And they produce only 1/3 as [...]

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

Apparently there is still another package coming from him. Today I received a GARGANTUAN package from Mom and KC containing [...]
