Where have you BEEN?!?
Okay, okay. I didn't actually intend to drop off the face of the
earth...but I suppose I've taken a longer break than was actually
necessary. But I know you all have lives and things like that, and
don't spend your whole day pressing 'refresh' or 'reload' on this page.
Nope, no one would do that.
Just my parents.
It's been an eventful couple weeks, though, and let me
think -- what's happened? This seems like a great time for some bullet
points:
- I got a job! A job writing, no less! I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you...
- I got a fairly decent tan, thank you very much (this was prior to
getting the job, during an unseasonably sunny few days in Wetcouver)!
See below...
- I smashed off one of my toenails in a grisly incident involving an
office chair, a pair of flip flops, and a measure of blood.
Fortunately, it matched my polish at the time! I just try not to look
at that toe anymore, and I find I can forget about it. Hell, it worked
with my ass!
- Notable eating moments: salmon sashimi; chocolate-covered
strawberries; a bee (well, I more licked him, he flew back out of my
mouth); the best loaf of sourdough bread EVER; nearly the best latte
ever; absolutely the worst hamburger ever; and several burnt popcorn
kernels (I know, I know, they break your teeth. I can't seem to stop!).
- I went to bed once before 10 pm, which was both notable and
shocking, and also entirely unsuccessful. It doesn't seem to matter how
early I have to rise, my body wants to stay conscious until at least 1
am.
- I bought a travel mug, to go with my new job. It's very trendy,
kind of techno/sporty looking. I feel like a geek when I drink from it,
though, because it looks like I'm trying a bit hard. Fortunately, the
blank expression on my face puts that assumption to rest pretty darn
quickly.
- I chipped my tooth again. But this time, on a lamp, not a karaoke microphone. Long story. But an enlightening one.
- I sent a gazillion emails and made a plethora of phone calls, mostly to the same poor victims.
- I took pictures of a raccoon eating bananas.
- I went to a very excellent baby dedication for a very excellent
baby. And made that same excellent baby giggle VERY hard in the weeks
previous to said dedication. She, however, kept it together for her big
moment. Yay for the cutest Janzens that ever were!
- I got two new roommates: Itchy and Ouchy.
Yes, it was an eventful time. And now I have to get my eventful self
to bed. I'm a member of the scheduled workforce now, and can no longer
keep my freewheelin' freelance hours.
For now.
