People who hold such optimism.
Oh, and also the fact that every job i have applied for this week has at least sent some kind of acknowledgement saying "We got your resume and it's under revue and good luck."

De-stressing with some nice acoustic music. And tea. I'm going to make myself another cup of tea.

going to school.

She said yes. Ok, here I go again. Crosses fingers, holds breath, ecetera ecetera.

Me: my first week back running in 3+ weeks. What a relief.

Woo hoo! Go Aaron!

Having a new job.
Oatmeal and tea.
Seeing Marillion.
Not getting killed by the die-hard Prog Apostle post-show.
Emails from friends, new and old.
My chocolate shirt.
Leftovers.
Home-baked rolls.
Kick-ass yoga classes.
Feeling spent but strong.

I made a convert!! Soooo glad you liked it. I think they're seriously second only to U2 on the list of best concerts I've ever seen. Completely unreal.



Ah yes, there's one at every show. I don't know where these people come from, but there's always one. And by default, they have absolutely no idea how to talk to girls. It's kinda funny to watch as an innocent bystander though. There was this one guy at the Chicago Marillion show who was incessantly talking to this one girl, who was clearly trying to escape the situation...poor thing.

But I'm glad you had fun. (and that you got the third encore...how awesome is that?)

New Jersey.

The edit function when I've said somethign regretable.

Being able to somewhat edit my life by saying things like 'I'm sorry' or....'Wait, that was a lie, but here's the truth' ... when this function goes haywire, so does everything else!

that boy.

Oooh la la, Miss Wilkerson!

I like my nightgown. It is green and from Salvation Army.

rubber cement!!

(and not just for the high, too )

sobeautifulandfaraway's new signature. dude, you're too funny.

My new jeans. Whee.

my roommate gave me these corduroy pants that don't really fit her. And they look great on me. And I like them.

also, my six dollar coat looks really classy. Best of both worlds.

also, my building's halloween theme is Castle. This means I GET TO BE A PRINCESS FOR HALOWEEN!!!!

YAY FOR PRINCESS COSTUMES!!!



Favorite thing: Popsicles.

My roommate and I just bought one of our favorite professors a pint of Guinness. We each had one ourselves, and mine's just now starting to get to me. Class at 3:30's gonna be fun! Nah, it's not that bad. But I finished it twenty minutes ago, and I'm only now getting a buzz, so that was kind of unexpected. In a pleasant, gosh-I-feel-relaxed sort of way.

Rebecca! Plowed at 3:00 in the afternoon??

We shall have to talk when you return from class...

Neil, Neil OrangePeel's signature, classic.

Discovering Trudy is a human encyclopedia (flicker vertigo?? wt..?)

Steve/MrSocal's avatar & signature... and the fact that he just posted "f'n".

I wasn't plowed! Just unexpectedly relaxed! Don't worry, Pop; I had a strong cup of tea and sobered up pretty quickly.

I just returned from a free dinner sponsored by the English department. I've been talking about literature (including Anne Lamott, no less) all afternoon. Today has been an excellent day for my psyche.

*flannel sheets on a chilly night
*candles, candles, everywhere
*music for every mood

Cool classmates.
Getting out of class early.
Second winds.
Inexpensive produce.
Sign language -- whee.
And my friend is coming over tomorrow! (God made company so the house would get cleaned....)

Chalk sayings on the sidewalk that read, "Apathy Club - if we bother"
Nearly fell over laughing.

My guitar
A good cup of tea
A cup of coffee made with love
My partner, she is so beautiful
OTR late at night with candles.......

Booking airplane tickets for Taft at $153.90 each! I can't believe I just did it! It's official: Brandon and I are flying to Cincinatti!

This really cute check-out girl in Publix checked me out. Yes, in that way. It made me happy. And I get to see a really cute coffeehouse girl tomorrow. Girls are cute.

YAY!!!!!!!

"Bethany, I think you're my new favorite poet"

my jazz vespers service that I planned/coordinated went REALLY well this week. Really well.

Fridays, anyone?

hmmm...and getting paid. yeah, that too.

having a really HOT A&P professor.


oh, and candles and incense. mmmm....

and green tea and yoga <---- been missin' out on these!

YEEEEE-HAW! This is gonna be so great.

Hmmm, i should probably figure out how I'm going to get to Taft....i really ought to get around to that.

SHe finally emailed me back. <blushes>

My friend is here. We made soup together. I made it too spicy. Now, pomegranate!

my friend who I haven't seen in over a year visited.
we went out to eat ethiopian food.

I LOVE Ethiopian food! Well, sort of. I've actually never had it. But I did a report on Ethiopia in ninth grade, and I'm pretty sure I'll love the food when I do try it.

I just got back from watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with three girl friends. Paul Newman is dreamy!

Finding literally the perfect cafe'! Beer, coffee, crepes, wifi...all in a victorian in NW Portland. Woohoo!

Oh, and the fct that everyone's enjoying the "my hometown" thread. It's always nice when you start a hit.

Calling up random people and bitching about my day at work.

. .. ...Being the guy a friend calls after he's had a hard day.

Learning I can make pita crisps in my toaster! Woo!

you will love it. Its very good and fun and exciting because you get to eat with your hands!

you know im not gonna get this craving out of my head. you know this, don't you?

d.

I really like it myself, but it also makes Jamaican and Thai food seem mild by comparison.

I lived with an Ethiopian guy who used to win bets by drinking bottles of Tabasco sauce like they were kool-aid.

my boss at Beatnik's had a bottle(from New York) of "The Hottest ****in' Sauce"... I'm a wuss, so no thanks!

sipping a peach daiguiri while a friend lounges on my couch being introduced to "EVE"

Kylie's avatar pic is freaking beautiful.

What picture of Kylie wouldn't be?

(but, yes, it really is )
