It's OK to be Takei

I love George Takei

Lucky Timing

The day that I didn't have my homework done and I "snoozed" my alarm three times because I didn't want to go to class, my teacher emailed us and said she's out sick. Bliss is being able to turn off the alarm on a Wednesday and go back to bed.

Breaking News!

Yes, that's right, breaking news that I'm posting 2 days late! In the shock of the century, my mother actually seems to be in support of me dropping out of college and pursuing a career in writing. She didn't outright say it, but what she mentioned it in a sincerely cheerful way. What do you think about that, huh?

Board Game Meet-Up

I've been feeling pretty isolated lately, and especially not liking my lack of female friends in the area. (Come home, you guys!) I was so desperate that I actually started looking on Craigslist in the strictly platonic section. Out of the numerous times I've tried it, Craigslist has only yielded one friend worth keeping, (Hi, Kass!) and those are really terrible odds.

Fortunately, when I was sick of reading people whining on craigslist about how miserable their lives were and how everyone hates them, I remembered meetup.com. So last night, I went to a board game party for geek girls, and it was great fun! I can't wait to go to more meet-ups!

Something I should have done 8 years ago

I finally told my mother that I'm not going to get a degree.

Dorothea Brande

I'll admit to starting out somewhat skeptically, but after only three days of following her advice I'm already finding it much easier to write. This is a wonderful book!

Lost and Found

Six months ago I lost a new iPod. I was nearly certain that it was under my bed but I never managed to locate it. I moved this weekend, cleaned my entire room, and when I moved my bed... nothing. I really started to worry that I had done something incredibly stupid like leaving it at work. Tonight I washed some pants that I'm certain I've worn fairly recently, and when I checked the pockets, I found my iPod!

Free Parking

Okay, my turn to have forgotten the blog, but. Today it was a nice day so the parking lot near the wharf that I use on practice days was rather full. I found a spot and started digging through my ashtray for enough change to pay the fee. Some lady calls through my open window to ask how long I'll be there, and when I tell her it's just two hours, she gives me her parking pass. She had overpaid and had exactly enough left on her ticket to cover my practice.
