Summer is not conducive to blog-writing, at least among some of my friends. It may be that we’re too busy enjoying the nice weather. It is easier to convince oneself that there is nothing to do when there is 3…

(Click to make bigger) I am in awe of this place, and possibilities of structure. There are so many questions I want answers to, and yet Sunday night I made the observation that sometimes there has to be the acceptance…

I turned on the television to see if a storm was coming in. Why did I even bother? I could have checked on the computer. I left it on out of pure laziness, and I felt like my brain was…

sushi brussel sprouts blanched almonds coffee ice cream flan cooking/baking dancing in the rain swimming in Lake Michigan swimming in the Atlantic Ocean making sand castles dancing (especially salsa, though I’m not very good at it) exploring forests climbing trees…

I went to an art gallery when I was in Atlanta. On the roof of the gallery was this piece of art by my aunt & uncle’s friend (most of my dad’s family are professional artists). It was a bunch…

Happy First Day of Ridvan! I got to vote for a Local Spiritual Assembly for the first time this year, it was very exciting. 🙂 I sit here, struggling to write my paper for Sociology…I have part of it done….

*The world moved too fast for me today. I was scrambling to keep up, even with 6 eggs (3 for breakfast, 3 for dinner) I have a protein craving, perhaps. (get it?) *I missed the stop on the train again,…

Sometimes this is about me, and sometimes it is about things I see. Sometimes the things I see pertain to me. The 114 pounds of this slender frame can’t hold you all up indefinitely. The standards that were set have…

I feel a certain reticence in my speech right now. Last night Lindsey asked if I wanted gum…and I didn’t, because I didn’t have the energy to move my jaw. hmm. The beautiful sun and warmth of yesterday was replaced…

I feel snazzy today. All dressed up in my black suit, I feel like a high-powered executive. Seriously though, there is something about wearing a suit that makes me more…responsible and motivated. Not as comfortable as jeans and a hoodie,…

As I walked to my first day of the new semester, the word that came to mind was “squishy”. The weather was really quite nice, and there was a steady dripping sound as I walked down the street… with the…

I actually haven’t taken a close look at them, because I have a rather queasy stomach right now and I don’t think that the doctor cleaned them very well. 4 wisdom teeth are sitting in a clear plastic box somewhere…

I home at my parent’s house. I missed Feast in Chicago today for the first time in…a very very long time. I’m sad, because I also know that I’m going to miss the next Feast because I’ll be getting my…

Right now I’m learning how to be not selfish. I’m learning how to cut down on complaining. I’m learning how to study (wow, fascinating. In my senior year of university!) Well, actually I’m learning about how my brain chooses to…

I know that I am a good writer. What frustrates me is that I don’t always have the time or the inclination to show it. I find it fascinating to proofread other people’s work. People messing up there, their, and…

1) Omid (Allen Eghrari) has a blog. We grew up together, so it is fun to have this window into his life at med school. yay! 2) Group projects should be outlawed. I have 5 of them this semester. Yes,…

LAST DAY OF BEING 20. I have no opinions, thoughts, or feelings on this. Except that my friends are unnaturally excited that they can now take me out dancing. haha. Enjoy the weekend, y’all. I’m off to Persian Conference.

Hold onto the people you love. Make sure they know that you love them. Be loud and vocal about it. Give hugs frequently and without reserve. Smile and laugh whenever you are given the opportunity. Walk down the street with…

I like coming downstairs in the morning and there is music coming out of Raina’s room, and there is a pot of water on to boil, and a couple of wonderful ladies sipping tea at the dining room table. It…

In every question of social interaction, the answer depends on the circumstances surrounding that question. When someone asks what to do about something, one must know more details in order to give an opinion. Perhaps that is my problem with…

Finish this sentence: “I never leave home without __________.” Also, my 21st birthday is in 21 days. 🙂 If you REALLY must buy me something, see the Amazon wishlist on the right. haha.

so why d’ya fill my sorrow with the words you’ve borrowed from the only place you’ve known why d’ya sing hallelujah if it means nothin’ to ya why d’ya sing with me at all? -Damien Rice I stood outside today…

No point to the title. It just came to me. The only reason it is there is because I finished reading The DaVinci Code a couple of days ago. It was an interesting, fun work of fiction, but I can…

STRESS IS OOZING OUT OF MY EARS. blech. Oh yeah, and where did my weekend go?

Sometimes I have too much time to think at work. Especially when resetting the men’s jeans wall, which is mind-numbingly boring and 24 feet long.

Working in Logistics, I have discovered that I am not cut out for a 3 am job. That is all. I work with Security this week. Woot. It is a lot cooler than it sounds…I hope. Book update: I finished…

I tried this one in another place and got some really interesting responses. Thought I’d try it again. What is the last positive thought you had?

I’ve been eating a lot of chicken and yogurt recently. I wonder why. In any case, the job is going well, I’m learning a lot although today was rough. 10 hours on my feet = pain. I’ll get used to…

So in addition to Anna Karenina, I have picked up The Rise of the Creative Class from the library, as well as a couple of fantasy books. I also hope to start on a Baha’i book soon, I just haven’t…
