Hey everyone! It's been a while. I've been checking in every now and again to read up on everyone's posts, but honestly I haven't been up to my usual attempt at intelligent prose lately. Typically, I don't like to talk about the specifics of my life, but I feel like I have to explain my absence before I can come up with a regular post. So, if you'll excuse my bitterness for a moment, I can get a few things off my chest and get back to my normal, lighthearted commentary. These are just a few of the things that have been keeping me busy lately...
~Moving: it's always fun in theory. And then you realize there aren't enough boxes in the world for all of the crap you've accumulated since the last time you moved. I can't decide which I'd rather do; continue to live among the gangs in my apartment complex or be confronted with the aftermath of my rampant consumerism.
~Parents: despite my busy schedule and prior obligations, they insist I take my weekend and make the 6 hour drive home to see them. Then they work all weekend and I babysit my little sister, who would rather watch Hannah Montana than talk to me anyway.
~Work: When a job description says it's an "exciting" field, throwing chairs and confinement rooms aren't the first things that come to mind. Amazingly, I've exceeded the average burnout rate for this position...which is 3 months.
~Coworkers: working for a Christian organization, one would think that coworkers would typically be good people. Unfortunately, a former coworker is proving this theory wrong, and due to his constant threats against me, I get to spend some of my limited free time in court.
~Wedding Planning: now I know why they hire people for this.
~Grad School: it's easier than Cornell was, but with a lot of mandatory busywork. And four hour classes. And an hour commute.
~Food Poisoning: yep, I don't recommend those tomatoes. Or the new taco place on the south side of town, apparently. Unless you're looking for three days off of work...to end up spending doing your grad school homework and wedding planning from the comfort of your hospital bed anyway. Why me?

Aww, sorry to hear that. But thanks for coming back and updating us. And sorry about Mr. Bizarro Co-worker--unfortunately, Christianity attracts its fair share of losers. I keep wanting to raise the standards and kick more of them out of Christianity, but then I'd have to kick myself out at some point too. :-p Oh, and nice new profile pic.
awww hopefully things are better now :)
