your body is a battleground in 2013-2014
length warning On Friday, I hauled down to Charleston. I didn't go to work. I called in sick, on account of Don'tgiveashititis. I talked to my parents on the phone again and wished my mom a happ...
The editing thing is going swimmingly. It's a fun challenge, since some of the translations come in very sloppy and rough. I look forward to working up to doing full translations. Aww yeah. I did...
lost in the echo in 2013-2014
PMS hit with the delicacy and concern of a drunk driver in a dump truck. I have spent all week... sleeping, mostly. No joke. Fatigue is a bitch. I probably need more iron and protein to compensat...
it's raining balls in 2013-2014
Like the balls that you metaphorically juggle, not testicles. Because that would be really, really weird. And gross. I'm supposed to be studying for my Russian final tomorrow morning, but I can'...
i'm only happy when it rains in 2013-2014
Got back from Charleston this evening. The last time I was this depressed was when I used to have to put him back on a plane to a warzone. It keeps getting worse. This literally can't keep happen...
isn't it enough in 2013-2014
Continuing on from the last entry... Thursday: I said fuck this and took a sick day. I didn't get out of bed for good until about 5:30. Hooray, Benadryl! It was wonderful. The stuffiness had per...
shatter me in 2013-2014
Lzzy Hale + Lindsey Stirling = <3 <3 <3 repeat one for days. This is clearly A Week. It is a comedy of errors. If this were a book or a movie, it would be deemed implausible. Monday:...
think i'm sick in 2013-2014
So, I just realized (even though I mentioned it in the last entry) that I have a race in 10 days. And yet, on Tuesday I ate nothing but junk food. On Wednesday, I was so over-caloried that I was ...
blood gems and gold in 2013-2014
Thursday night, I got a fiance. :) YAY. I was full of delight and hugs and left work after class to go racing home. Friday evening, I got a BFF. The weekend commenced with silliness, zero wedding...
This entry is to say that Alexe is a baller and discovered that 30 Seconds to Mars/Linkin Park wasn't as sold out/overpriced as usual (these things fluctuate), and after some secondary market dig...
burn with me in 2013-2014
Oh, PMS, finish your deed and get out of here. You're killing me. I have one month before I start job-applying. One month. I can do this. One month. I prowled indeed.com and wasn't overly enthus...
[gratuitous pics] in 2013-2014
It's not kosher to squeal about weddings and engagements on social media for fear of making the singles' feelings hurt, so I will blurt things here. Fair warning. Anyway, I came across these pic...
april rain in 2013-2014
It's not April yet. That is irrelevant. First, read this: The Blerch and magical running. Make sure you take note of the last page. I found this yesterday while at work. I squeed a bit: Blerch...
i should be over all the butterflies in 2013-2014
This song is stupidly cute. The only thing I like more than the song is randomly encountering it on the radio on the way home from work: Still Into You -Paramore Also, the big story is back one,...
I drove down Friday afternoon. It was Aimee's 21st birthday celebration, and Ali's 30th, so Aimee, older sister Kara, friend Chris (responsible for wrangling Aimee), Ali, her husband Dmitri, Aaro...
Full story later. :)
a part of me in 2013-2014
Aaron said a thing tonight. I was griping because I don't bruise easily, and even when I do, I discolor even more rarely. I have a smattering of bruises on my legs, but since they're not lit up,...
[Badass Dash 7k] in 2013-2014
The roughest, most masochistic element of these is waking up early on Saturday morning and making myself eat a full breakfast. I don't like eating breakfast to begin with. My stomach's not awake ...
let's get louder in 2013-2014
Oh my. This editor is... new and strange. But I am determined to be mature and not let my anti-change histrionics win. I've realized since the work Facebook ban for ludicrous reasons (did you kn...
I think part of my survival strategy is that I will be generous with my sick days. I'm going to hang onto my vacation days (because that might let me leave earlier), but sick days? Pfft. It's all...
miss nothing in 2013-2014
I don't like who my job is turning me into. You can blame the eternal winter, if you want--I usually start spiraling downhill a bit in February. But it's just... this freaking job. I'm impatien...
let's go there in 2013-2014
Today started with a brown-out at work. The official statement through the list serve was, "A power outage has affected some 20 buildings in central and south campus. Facilities Management perso...
break right through this glass house in 2013-2014
Ice doom happened. We edged out of the worst. My power went out for about 10 minutes, long enough for me to pack my freezer full of snow and ice and duct tape it shut, since it's not sealing too ...
let the storm rage on in 2013-2014
Icedoom is upon us. The exact numbers keep changing, but a few inches to half a foot of snow, and between half an inch and an inch of ice are on deck. It sleeted most of the morning and early af...
let the sky fall in 2013-2014
My pride really doesn't want to write about it, let alone say the name. At 8pm, 4 hours before deadline, I dove in at the beginning. At August, 2001. I flipped through, noticing the slow maturat...
