went to nassau in the bahamas with the boy and definitely did not want to come back from a week by the pool, on the beach, jet skiing, sailing and just enjoying some relaxing alone time with steven j.
but i guess all good tings come to an end, and here i am back in boston with lots of work to do... i'm working monday for some extra cash which should help supplement and i guess that's good. i'm having a hard time being productive this week, though and haven't even unpacked yet. sighs. oh well. benefit of having my own space to mess up, i guess! ^_~ |

my computer is alivce again! and, you know what else? life has happened since my lst post. amazing, i know. life is grand, how's yours? i'll try and be better by a bit about posting, but with work and all of the responsibilities of living on my own (yikes!) it's a bit tougher than normal. plus i'm off to the bahamas with the boy for a nice week of, erm, alone time next week. ^_^ so i may no post until after that. dang. streak busted. |

| valentine's- WARNING: sappy |
[Feb. 15th, 2007|09:28 pm] |
for the first time on valentine's, i had a boyfriend. and i got a pretty gift at work and a visit in the evening despite it taking him 25 minutes to get the ice off his car and the fact that it was through icey roads and sleet.
i am loved, and it feels amazing. i didn't want to get out of bed this morning because it was so cozy and warm... and then my day was uber-suckage for the most part. but at least i'm starting to finally realize what i have and how awesome it really is. |

i saw and met raul esparza. and my life is happy and good. i had a blast in NYC seeing company with Laura, Adam and Mark. the show was amazingly beautiful and so well choreographed. not only that, but the talent of all the performers to be able to play at leats 2 instruments each in a show that requires so much movement and choreography... wow. it was awesome. and being alive has never been more perfect. (sorry adam)
in other news, i'm a lab bitch. huzzah. it's actaully fun learning new techniques, and i really like the people i work with. so yay me. |

You are a pirate. Life at sea, colorful clothing and a love of wine, women and song mean you're just not cut out for the ninja lifestyle. But that hook hand is pretty cool though.

now for something i'd never thought i'd say:
i missed midd.
but mostly i miss the people and the fun we had, not the sleepless nights and self deprication. sigh. but Urinetown was fab and i saw mark and adam and cvigne and a bunch of other lovely people that made me happy and feel loved. it was a good weekend. |

damn you, user!
People who get tagged need to post in their journal 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I always have to sit in my car until the end of whatever song is playing at the time, even if i'll be late for work.
2. I rinse my nalgene out 3 times with warm water before i fill it up to use every day.
3. I have to sleep on my stomach and fall asleep facing the room. Sobsequently, my bed has to be in a corner so my side and head are protected. This arises form a fear I've had since the 3rd grade that Jack the Ripper was going to come and kill me in my sleep.
4. I have to have things at an odd number. That is, volume on stereos and TVs, numbers of times I wash something, number of shakes of salt i put on my food, number of M&M's... Everything. 12 is the only OK even number.
5. I get obsessive about things from time to time, and have to learn everything about them and basically think nothing about them for a while, then I find something else and move on. This week, The Little Mermaid.
6. I shake out my clothes before I put them on in the morning so that I know nothing has crawled in during the night and made a nest. Again, childhood fear... a hornet crawled into my clothes and stung me one time.
and i tag... no one! go for it if you want, and you're not horrified by my freakishness. |

what a fucking fun weekend. ran around in the woods, almost went deaf from popper traps, snuck a bit, was complemented several times on my speed and sneakiness (yay me!), almost froze to death and also almost peed myself laughing.
i am such an enormous geek. it's fantastic. |

| dog sitting, ending the watch and christmas tree shops |
[Oct. 11th, 2006|12:43 am] |
| [ | feelin' sorta |
| |  tired | ] |
this never updating things is completely not my fault and stems from the fact that i was house/dog sitting for neighbors all week and was asked to stay the night there to keep teh dogs from getting into anything. that, in itself, was fine... but i forgot how creepy their house can be, and how many scary memories of horror movie marathons and ouija sessions belonged to the house... so i had maybe not the most restfull time and am now exhausted.
my last whale watch was cancelled due to bad weather, and there was an extra day of "festival days" at the orchard, which just meant extra activities, extra RUDE people and extra work. we also got bad family news, so i've had a rough time here without any close friends nearby... but i also got a lot of over-the-phone support. ^_^
today i had a day off, and so did mom... so we went to the christmas tree shop in portland... my first visit to one ever! and, um... i bought some stuff for the house, and a pirate umbrella... i did not buy the life sized penguin lawn ornament. though i wanted to. and i wanted to name him pedro. sometimes, you have to be strong. after that, we went to copy stuff for the mortgage and go to the party store for the LARP (of which there is another one this weekend). so a good day, today. and now, off to bed before i collapse. work tomorrow, and the bank. back to the grind, eh? |

| nothing good ever comes without a fight |
[Sep. 29th, 2006|09:29 am] |
on my way to boston today to sign a purchase and sales agreement!!! so! vomiting all around, then! until that happens, i'm applying to to the NE Aquarium to try and get a job... any job... and watching dr who reruns... CUZ THE NEW SEASON IS ON TONIGHT STARRING MY BOY!!!!! not a bad morning so far.
i also forgot to write about the awesome whale watches we've had lately. last week, there was a blanket of salps (tiny gelatanous zooplankton) that the whales were feeding on... we pulled up a huge bucket full in a plankton tow. awesome AND gross! and then on wednesday, we had 4 humpbacks 15 miles away from shore... all whales we couldn't ID, which is awesome cuz that means they're either calves, unidentified juveniles or whales we normally don't see in the area... and that's all super cool! there's a whale naming party in MA during the spring, and i can finally go this year! i've already got some ideas. ^_~ then, when we were watching one whale feed, i happened to glance into the distance and caughth a full breach no one else saw... when we went to the area the whale fed at the surface for almost an hour, coming super close to the boat and then did another amazing breach really close to the boat! one of the best breaches i've ever seen! so i'm really bummed the season's ending soon... especially since we were cancelled today due to bad weather.
ok! onto applications! |

| houses and apples and LARPs, oh my! |
[Sep. 27th, 2006|04:57 pm] |
OK! so! to start. we're buying a house in watertown that we both love. it's a townhouse style two-family home. the woman who lives next door was selling the house herself, and we btoh really like her and think she'll be a great neighbor. it's like 10 mins from harvard square and we have a ton of room, so i expect everyone to visit!!! i'm already psyched about painting and all... and brendan has hashed plans to make the small computer room into a geekery to store all our comics and so i can put up all my star wars posters and all. ^_^
also, i got a second job at an apple orchard leading school tours and working in the farmer's market. it's fun, if long hours and hard work... but there are definite perks... free apples right off the tree, any bruised produce i want, as well as broken or burnt baked goods for free. yay! a great seasonal job... only goes until november or so, which is perfect for me!
also also, the LARP a couple of weekends ago was a million pounds of fun... super to see all my friends that i haven't spent real time with in a while and act like like a dork. definitely laughed so hard i thought i was going to pee my pants. always a good thing.
other than that, i don't have a job in boston yet but i'm trying not to panic. there are theaters galore and fun stuff there... i'm just psyched to finally get down! i am crying a lot and already missing my room and my mom, but nothing can be done. growing up is hard, but i think i'll be ok. |

| | cheerful | ] |
i went to boston, saw K80, bought great CDs, ate some good meals, saw brendan, finally got to the field, visited the davis kids and generally felt better about my life all over. so i guess i figured out that no mater how much i do really treasure alone time, too much is just that and i cannot say how much i appreciate friends who make me laugh, and especially at myself. |

| finally an italy entry |
[Sep. 5th, 2006|02:18 pm] |
so i wrote this a whaile ago, but on my own lappy and am just now getting online to upload it. kinda babbly, but whatever...
Few places that you go in you life can hold a true place in your heart. There are places that you go, that you enjoy and places that alter you in a way that cannot ever be changed. I feel that the reason I love to travel so much is the desire to find these places, to find new facets of myself that can’t be found until I find the right place, until I arrive at the place that releases that part of me. It has to do with the sights, with the people, with what all of that releases in me. For me, London is bliss and it is theater and it is home. Every time I think of the city I feel this longing in my body. And every time I walk through the fog or the warm mist of a day just about anywhere I think of that city. I’ve also rarely been able to return places in order to know that there is this reaction in me and it isn’t just the excitement of going someplace new. I found this again in Italy. I had been to Rome before, when I was in Norway… Probably in the eighth grade. The thrill of seeing the places I had read about and studied was amazing. And I just love to travel, s it was all new and fun.
The return, though, was even better. As a person who had grown so much and learned so much more, it was so amazing to be able to revisit the city of Rome and see the landmarks in completely new light and with new eyes that appreciated the weight and the majesty of the history that was all around me. Plus, being able to hang out with my mom and cousin and drink some wine was a blast, too. So after forays to the Spanish Steps (every night, our hotel was two blocks away), Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum. the Victor Emanuel monument and basically all around the city… I found I remembered little and was glad to be able to go back and take it all in with a mind that, being more open, was even more in awe of what stood before me. Moreover, our walk to and day in the Vatican City and St. Peter’s only served to further my joy in the discovery of things I had thought forgotten… this time more personal.
But the real treat lay in our other destination: Venice. I truly believe, after the visit, that anyone who loves the sea should go to Venice at least once in their lives. The city is so romantic… Not in the kissing couple kind of way (though I could see that, too), but in the Byron and Shelly kind of gothic and almost fairy-like feel of the island. It was like a novel, all alleyways and glittering waters. For two days the three of us walked around and saw the sights and shopped… But the last day I was left on my own and I did the city up like I love. Set out, pick a direction and walk. So I went to several cathedrals and museums where I not only saw amazing architecture but the most intricate and beautiful paintings by some of Venice’s greatest artists… Masters I had never heard of and now admire more than some of my previous favorites… Most importantly, I walked up and down more back alleyways than I can recall. It was bliss and adventure and just plain contentment in a way that I hadn’t felt for a long time before or since.
So yeah, I ate my weight in gelato, making good on my threat to eat it for at least one meal every day. I also took some amazing pictures and have some even more amazing memories of what may indeed prove to be my last great adventure to Europe… At least for a while. I feel that as long as I’m interested in self discovery and improving my view on the world, I have to travel. It truly is something that means more to me than maybe anything else in the world. By seeing the world, seeing new places, I improve myself through interactions and conversations. I gain so much respect for what the world has to offer in so many respects… In a way, I feel like I help the world more through traveling, even if it seems selfish. It’s just one fewer intolerant person, and one more person willing to try to make themselves better… and what is more important?
Ok. So I babbled, and this is cheesy.... But that’s what happens when you compose a long entry before you post it. And think about it. Maybe I’ve had too much time to think about it, so I’ll just say this: Man. It was some fun. |
