O Uterus, why must you pain me so with your monthly bloodletting? 
Every day, when I cross the Sellwood Bridge (twice), the same thoughts pass through my head.
Chiefly, there's the number 2, which is the current rating, out of 100, that the bridge gets in terms of safety. Basically, this bridge was due for replacement 40 years ago.
Then there's the fact that it's the most used bridge in the entire state of Oregon, due to...

I'll give your "wash as you go" program my college best. If it fails I plan to institute my Nuclear Option: The Five Point Paper Plate Plan. 
bleeder:
Its nice and relaxing. Thank you. 
Finals are finishing up for the undergrads. As I was walking over to have lunch today, all of the students were busy moving furniture into cars, wrapping up their school year, preparing for summer, and it made me miss being a kid, back when summer actually meant more than just nice weather. I miss anticipating "summer vacation." I know that most of these students are...

I had a pretty soul deadening 24 hours in the library today. Gah. As my living situation is ambiguous next week, I think I'll keep at it... ah. I try to keep an emotional distance from this thing, but it's always... pulling... me back! Sigh.
I like your entries. Slice-of-life, much? Yes, and nice. They're always very much your random thoughts, unmediated through silliness.

I woke up in the middle of the night from another dream where I died. At the time, I wanted to get up and write it down, but of course, leaving the bed just didn't seem a palatable idea at God-knows-when-o'clock AM.
So all I remember is that I was still hanging around, and I was delighted to discover that if I just persistently yelled...

Mentally/Emotionally for sure. I think it's sapped some physical strength.. Cos I'm lazier than ever.
Saw Hitchhiker's Guide last night. I wanted to like it more, but unfortunately didn't. They did a lot of things really well, and other things not so well, and still other things just dreadfully wrong. I guess that's always the problem of making a much-loved book into a movie.
Congratulations, hippomonki on the birth of your troll. As my boyfriend so eloquently put it, the...

Yes, I can see it being quite overwhelming in certain circumstances. But it is incredibly satisyfing for me...
Wow. Workdays are really long when you don't get to take a lunch break.
The orientation I had been planning for the last week or so finally happened today. More students attended than RSVP'd, but they didn't eat nearly enough food. Thus, I got to witness cold cuts and cookies consumed by ravenous coworkers.
I throw people off whenever I wear strappy sandals with any...

when I don't take a luch break, my blood sugar dives and I'm useless in the sfternoon. my last three bosses have asked me to work throughluch exacly once [not that lunch doesn't turn into a powerbar at the deak when the deadlines get really tight].
hippomonki:
hooray for strappy sandaled heels!
boo for uncoordination!
i think unless we have the baby i will be there...
i do the whole thinking about it too much thing as well, thats why i am happy when art gets made!
and the thing i adore about you, well besides how adorable you are, is that you always have something to say. even if you don't know some one, there is a hidden piece of connectability and conversation in you just waiting for the right moment..
oh and your laugh
especially if you are eating when you do it, there is this hand thing that follows it then...

Two episodes to go.

It refused to settle well. My only recourse was to throw a potato on top. I baked it and mixed them together. There was spinach too. I ran out of dishes a couple weeks ago so my options are slimming as far as eating is concerned.

They're piled up in droves. Unwashed. Unclean. I tried to pay gnomes to wash them. My money is all they took.
I can't stop listening to Rilo Kiley's More Adventurous. The entire album, not just that song. Something about Jenny Lewis' voice is positively addicting. Now I'm sad that I didn't see them back in September when they were here with Now It's Overhead.
I used to be so ahead of the times with the bands. Now I don't discover an album until it's been...

You're suprised about rain in Portland, Oregon?

Do you know what I like about this site? The abundance of non-bitchy women that I've met through here. I'm one of those women who doesn't tend to like other women because I find them either bitchy, boring, self-obsessed, or some combination of the three. All of the women on my friends list are so fucking cool, and it makes me glad to have joined...

It's here. He's my favorite. And luckily, I always read Libra, too.
You've heard about horse whisperers, people who have a deeply intuitive, almost psychic rapport with horses. You may have also heard about baby whisperers, those who specialize in reading the body language and secret thoughts of infants. Well you, my dear Libra, currently seem to have the skills of a dove whisperer. If you like, you could probably achieve a mind-meld with those birds in the coming weeks. Perhaps more importantly, you will also possess the unusual blend of powers that doves have symbolized throughout history: to bring peace, to cultivate tender intimacy, and to bless lust.

Look guys! New profile pic! Thoughts?
Wow, it looks like I photoshopped the hell out of it to get that "soft focus" look, but it's just because my photography skills suck, and I was actually out of focus.
I've forgotten how much it sucks to grow out bangs.

Growing out the bangs is suckage, but you look super cute!
