Organizing

What is it about office supply stores that make me so happy? Sure, they’re overpriced most of the time, but wow… everything is just so efficient. I found myself in a delirium of joy last night, wandering through the aisles…

Video

Some of my friends in Atlanta made a video, and you have to see it. They are in a competition and are going on to the next round. A Meditation on the Speed Limit

Another year!

Hello, 22, how are you? I’m just fine writing a rhyme when all I want to do is party. I’m leaving home but I won’t be alone I’m going to eat something tasty! (Forgive the horrible poetry, I just woke…

I forgot to mention…

that I love avocado smoothies. They make me happier than almost anything except flan. Oh, and I really, really like puns. Yes, I do. I am sorry if this makes you not want to be friends with me. It has…

An Ode to Green

Why do I sometimes get the feeling that I am alone? Alone in my love for the strange, the green, the disliked members of the family of vegetables! Oh, broccoli, okra, and brussel sprouts, fried, baked, boiled or raw, how…

A story, told by Andrew

Go here for Andrew’s story of what happens when a deer hits a car… Took two finals in the last 24 hours, I’m so tired! One more tomorrow, and I’m DONE. whee! Summer can’t come soon enough (although the weather…

What IS that?

Sholeh + Neda + Dubious Estate Sale = Hilarity. We had way too much fun. I really couldn’t even figure out what some of these knicknacks were! There was a random head sitting on a table…and it thoroughly freaked out…

Computer nerds

Me: “Ramez…you do realize that we’re really big nerds? We’re sitting in the computer lab, when each of us has computers at home.” Ramez: “Ah, that’s true, but we don’t have the luxury at home of sitting in chairs with…

Tripped up

Have you ever been walking down the street in your business slacks and heels with a snazzy purse on your shoulder makeup done perfectly, not a hair out of place striding down the sidewalk with an emphatic click on each…

Hellooooo?

I wonder where my friends are. I wonder why people read, but don’t leave a comment saying hi. I know you’re out there, blog-lurkers. Silent readers who visit the page and whisk themselves away before writing me a little message….

Theology? Who needs it?

I may actually be allergic to theological discussions. Hear me out. I was at our Baha’i Youth Desk meeting here at my house when some people started on a tangent about something. I don’t really know what they were saying,…

Where oh where…

i don’t know what to blog about my muse fell off a cliff and bounced on the sharp rocks below (making cornbread from my own recipe and baking chocolate cupcakes. you know you’re jealous) Chance of flurries tonight. Whenever I…

Queen of Lists

Some people may not realize this, but I love lists. I write everything down. When a professor is droning on about histograms and normal deviation, I make lists of errands I have to run, emails I need to write…whatever! These…

Blue!

We don’t know what it is, either. It appeared suddenly in the living room one evening, and of course was immediately experimented with. Shannon tests it out. Gavin & Shannon turn into an alien. “Are we done taking pictures yet?”…

Teeth

After a long wait, I’m getting my wisdom teeth (all 4!) removed in 9 hours. I’m sure it will be lots of fun. It has been suggested by unnamed sources that I make them into a necklace. πŸ˜€ Therefore, I…

KAPOW!

Apparently I’m more of a “spontaneously funny” person. πŸ™‚ (Thanks to Kelsey for the pic, yes that is me in the bag. Angela is next to me.) ————————- “Therefore I hope that whether you be in the east or the…

Funny Titles!

And now I bring you…funny scientific article names: The uncertain blitzkrieg of Pleistocene megafauna (apparently the megafauna were not as sure about their attack as they should have been) Amphibian road mortality in response to nightly variations in traffic intensity…

Chewy

My housemate Angela brought home a caterpillar from work a few days ago. He lives in a container on our kitchen table and his name is Chewy…because he chews on things. He is dark grey with black spots, and watching…

White

I wore a white denim jacket today. Yes, I did. AFTER LABOR DAY. What are you gonna do about it, huh? And I will probably continue wearing white articles of clothing. The seasons will not restrict MY style. A twisted…

*looks around*

*whispers* Guess what? I have NO IDEA what’s going on! *panic sets in* Oh well…I’ll just wing it. *hops on bike to start a glorious adventure*

Jelly beans

What happens when you wash jelly beans in a strainer? Not a whole lot. They lose their smooth outer coating and look strange. Don’t ask why we washed them…they were dirty, apparently. And the heat lamps on the L are…
