So what, it's been six months, cry about it :P Ok, in all honesty I've been busy and I'm a procrastinator. Let's see now, shall we?I still work at the biotech in downtown Seattle. It's still fabulous and I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary on January 25th. Pretty awesome. Regarding other things in my last post: my mother's second surgery went beautifully.

This past weekend my dear friend Melissa and I took an overnight trip to Vancouver, BC. It was a lovely drive up in spite of getting ever-so-slightly lost for a short time. This trip was to be her last girls' night out before getting married in August. We had a great time. We went to a blues club which suggested by the taxi driver when we arrived Friday night (may have consumed a few too many)

Hello all. It's been far too long. March was lovely (I turned 24--my goodness), April was sweet (I visited my nephew in Phoenix after all), and May has been a test. First, the fun stuff.I've taken up climbing again, the activity I put aside once I moved to Bellingham. Spencer and I climb in the climbing gym a couple times a week and I went with he and some friends on my first outdoor trip on

I've been having a nagging thought lately. Are people happier or more satisfied having a passionate outlook on life or an apathetic one? This is almost certainly an unanswerable question, although no less intriguing to me.As a teenager I worried about a plethora of things under many subheadings. Believe it or not, one of the things that I worried about most, aside from boys and brain tumors, was

I've gone to see three movies...so far...muahahaha.A brief review perhaps?26 December 2007JUNO I went to this movie thinking it would be a nice light-hearted and witty comedy about a pregnant teen.

Maybe it's my age, or maybe it's the relationship baggage from my past, or some combination of the two. Whatever it is, I've got a problem with marriage. I suppose the broader framework would, even more importantly, encompass the stigma of divorce.What is it with our society and marriage? Why is there such pressure to tie the knot? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice, long-term, committed

Instead of regretting the silly decision of accepting a temporary position on Xmas Eve I've decided to look at it as a gift--of a big chunk of virtually uninterrupted time to do whatever I want with my brain, a book, and the

I listened to a story on the radio this morning. It was about a factory owner who brought more than 50 men over from India and used them for cheap labor in his factory. Of course he promised them long-term work and green cards. The men were treated terribly; very little food, verbal abuse, unfit living quarters, deportation, etc. After a bit of time some of these men escaped (yes, they were

Last week some A-hole crazy person held hostages at Hilary Clinton's campaign office in New Hampshire. What a terrible news headline. Luckily it turned out to be some nutjob with a fake bomb taped to his chest who wanted treatment for his mental illness (uuh, sounds like a good idea).This got me thinking...is there a correlation between presidential assassinations and party affiliation?

The idea: Sugar is bad; it will kill you. Artificial sweetener is bad; it will kill you. Now, when faced with such a predicament, what the hell is one supposed to eat?! Do we all need to eat boring unsweetened food for the rest of our lives? I'd rather not have a bitter existance myself. I personally use artificial sweetener because I car more about caloric content rather than this so-called

I've taken the first step toward making myself look appealing to UW nursing school admissions. Last night at 11 I enrolled in North Seattle Community College. I'm going to take a night anatomy and physiology class. I think I might be out of my goddam skull!! However weird it might sound, I'm excited to go back to school even though I've only be out for just under a year. So, that's that

I really do love Seattle. I fee fortunate that I get to go there everyday. Today after work I took a bus over to Ballard for a Huntington's support group meeting. There is such an energy around the city that cannot be replicated in the suburbs. My typical Monday evening after work was not so typical due to the excited Seahawks fans roaming about and the long concert line outside a club on Pike

First, a bit of catch-up from the last time I wrote: I landed in Phoenix after my 2.5 months in Europe and de-jet lagged during Aiden's (my nephew) 1st birthday. It was really great to be able to see everyone again and talk to them about my new experiences and views of the world. After a week of the hellish 100+ degree weather in Phoenix my

This weekend was incredible. There was enough activity to fill a week! Sooo, on Friday Ika and I went into Karis for a BBQ at her friend's place after visiting a celebration of the town of Karis; a street festival type gathering. I went with Ika's sister Frida from the BBQ (Ika had to work the night shift so I stayed with Frida for the weekend) to Ekenäs. We went to the European Peoples Festival

Today was such a fantastic day. Ika, Mona, and I went to the southern-most tip of Finland: a little coastal town called Hanko (or Hangö in Swedish). The weather ended up being absolutely perfect in spite of the not-so-perfect forcast. First we walked about the shopping streets and paid a visit to the public library (where they have blue lights in the bathroom so druggies can't see their veins...

It's definitely been good times here in Southern Finland. I'll start from where I left off last :) Soooooo, we didn't actually make it to the Åland Islands. Our petrol consumption estimate was drastically off. It would have ended up costing about €500 in gas alone. Way over budget, plus one can easily take a ferry for about €20. Woops!

All I can say is: serious change of pace. The most spectacularly beautiful change of pace, may I add. If you want the most gorgeous scenery ever, come to where I am right now! Where else does one get to see a rainbow at 5 in the morning? I am staying with my good friend Marika (from Western) and her family at their summerhome in Ekenäs, Finland.

I guess one could say I've been having a bit of fun over here on this great continent. From Paris I took a train to Amsterdam which took about 6 hours. I met up with a woman who was one of my roommates in my Paris hostel. We took part in a traditional Amsterdamian activity that evening and walked around Leidsesplein ;) In Amsterdam I saw the big touristy things like the Centrum (city center) and

It's fantastic in every way.I've seen many of the major sights such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Church, the Arc de Triamphe.

Tonight is our last night in Borlänge. We fly to Venice, Italy tomorrow morning! Now the real adventure begins. Who knows where I'll end up! Luckily going to Stockholm allowed me to practice traveling by train. Now it'll be no sweat because I know what to expect. The last couple of days have been very low-key.

My train was scheduled to leave at 9:52 and I got on at 9:48. We cut it close, but I made it nonetheless! The train to Stockholm look a bit over 2 hours. When I arrived I ate breakfast at a small coffe shop at the central station. The woman working

I participated in many new and exciting things and I met really great people. First Ika and I walked to the city center and went to the liquor store. The liquor store was gigantic and busy. Then we went to the trains station so I could buy my ticket to Stockholm for tomorrow (well, later today). We walked back to the apartment, and got ready to go the the neighboring town, Falun. We met another

Ika took me to her school and showed me around today, then I took off on my own and went to Kupolen (the dome-like building). I walked around for a while then walked back to meet her. After lunch we hung out for a while before going to meet her friend Johanna. We met her at a different grocery store (where Ika put her plastic bottle into a machine and got paid for it!) before walking back to her

Yesterday we decided to go to the local mall to eat lunch before grocery shopping. The mall is called Kupolen. It's the one big thing in this town. So obviously one may infer that Borlänge is a very small town. After lunch we didn't get to grocery shop because we had to race back to her apartment so she could change and make it to a "grand opening" of something called the Banana Field. It's a new

I slept from 11pm to 10am! Hopefully that kicked the jetleg. Yesterday evening I went to Marika's handball practice. That's a pretty intense game! They use what look like little soccer balls and they put glue on their hands so they can grip the ball. It's actually alot like soccer, however you carry and throw the ball instead of dribble and kick. This morning I finally woke up and Ika made us

Well, I got here safe and sound! I'm a little delerious right now, due to lack of sleep=) My flight was great, however long. The food was decent, the people I sat next to were pleasant, and there were a few movies. The slight nervousness I had subsided the moment I spotted Marika at the exit. We sat at the airport for a few hours and chatted over coffee while we waited for our train. Then we

WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 2007Yay! My passport was delivered via FedEx this morning at 8:30! *giant sigh of relief* I thought for a day or so that my passport wasn't going to make it in time so I was almost trying not to be excited. However, now I can officially be excited!! My practice pack went beautifully, everything fits...snuggly. I can't believe I leave in 5 days!! Time has flown by, just as

SATURDAY MAY 12, 2007I'm so excited I could burst! The plans are coming along beautifully. Marika and Co, and I have got a nice itinerary, which now includes bungee jumping! This week I've got to do a dry-run pack-hopefully everything I need fits! Oh, and everyone needs to cross their fingers and think hard about my passport-let's hope it comes in the mail soon!!

My goal of running a 10 miler was met, and exceeded. A couple weeks ago Justin and I decided that it would be fun to run my first real 10 along the Bridal Path, which the Fenzl's live along, so we started at their house. I wanted to run it in a place where I had no idea of how far I'd gone. Me not knowing the distance paid off...again. After returning, Justin told me, that we ran 12 miles. I was

My passport is on the way! Lovely Sonya called me this morning while I was out on my run and left a voice message...which contained a FedEx tracking number. Now I know for sure that my passport will be in my hot little hands tomorrow morning at 10:30 in the a.m.! Luckily my application was done being processed so the string pullage helped with the transportation process. Ummmm, passports aren't

As many of you know, I am still waiting breathlessly for my passport. Everyday I search the mail as if I were Ralphie looking for his decoder pin...really. So instead of participating in the same old run-around that I have for the past week: check online, call, check online, call, etc; I decided to go to what I thought was the source.I actually left work this morning to go to the post office in

The other night I had my first experience with "foodies". Def: Foodie: A person who has an ardent or refined interest in food; a gourmet. What a bunch of cool and quirky folks! I talked with several people in such a way that it seemed as though we'd known each other for years. It was great.The reason for my encounter with the foodies was that Jacques Pepin was at my sister-in-law, Ashley's,

Today was a fairly big day for me. My parents have been in town from Washington for the past few days and there have been several social gatherings for my sister-in-law's graduation (she got her Ph.D. in Sociology on Thursday). Needless to say, it has been an insane weekend. In spite of all the craziness I've managed to still run at least 4 miles each morning. Today was the exception...Last night
