There was a time when I would have responded very hatefully to “advice” from someone who knows the same amount, or less, about something than myself. But I think I’m finally growing up because now I just accept it (and/or) laugh it off. I am not actively looking for a new job. And by active, [...]

“Time to put the earphones on…”

One of my favorite songs is “Australia” by The Shins. Its honestly really ridiculous, but its basically the story of my life. At least right now anyway. My favorite line says “You’d be damned to be one of us girl, faced with the dodo’s conundrum”. Basically, feeling like you can fly and not being able [...]

Ok, I’m not really a beggar. BUT I wanted to share with you people my efforts at gaining support for Africa. Here is an excerpt from a letter I have sent/will continue to send to various friends, organizations, relatives and random people on the street. Shameless? Maybe. Educational? You betcha. “In May 2009 I graduated [...]

I locked myself out of my office this morning. Brilliant, as usual. But I’m almost glad that I did. Because now I have an excuse to hang out in the office next door. Ah, it feels good to not be in solitary confinement. The only downside to this is that I risk getting caught slacking [...]

“My name is Salmon…like the fish” For some reason, those words from The Lovely Bones bring up a wide range of emotions. Most are sad, but all make me a better person. If you have not read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold than I suggest you leave your computer right now, grab a copy [...]

As you may, or may not have noticed..I am slightly crazy. By that I mean I have decided I want to run a half-marathon. This is no small task for someone who used to hate running since her first field day in elementary school. However, its something I’ve always wanted to do at least once [...]

For some strange reason I have been very productive lately. The reason its strange is because it has been snowing so much that I’ve often felt like I’m living in Alaska. Which is lame, because I don’t even like snow. “Back in the day” I would have sat in my pajamas all day, watching an [...]

Oh hi. Sorry that its been so long. I’ve been, busy. What’s that? Not a good enough excuse? Well, if that’s the case, then I am accepting any and all advice for better excuses of why I haven’t given you full updates on my life every 5 minutes. So in the past few weeks my [...]
