For every $1 you make, Mitt Romney makes $2,484.16 For Mitt to have an understanding of your day-to-day expenses, a gallon of gas would have to cost him $8,321.95, a 20 oz. soda would have to cost him $3,949.82, and a pizza would have to cost about $25,785.61. When Mitt casually bet Rick Perry $10,000 at a recent debate, that would be like you betting a friend $4.03. Consider that -...

On a related note: Kaylee just gave me The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order to read and I am peeing myself because I am so excited to start.

Tonight was my roommate’s twenty-second birthday & party. It went really well, but for some reason people showed up really early (a half hour before it started?!) and I refused to turn off/stop watching Sweet Home Alabama until the party’s official start time because sometimes you just have to put your foot down about strange things. Order must be upheld. Reese Witherspoon must get...
Tonight overwhelmed me
but I came home and looked at pictures of avocado fries and felt significantly less stressed out about all the lil thangs.
Because avocado fries are lil thangs. But sooOOOooOOOoo delicious.
I am not drunk posting right now. I sober-socialized my way through tonight and it was awesome.

This is something every girl should know about her...
And yet my slow realization, after being asked (as resident student nurse/health nut person ‘round here) numerous times about “can I get pregnant if…” is that most, or at least many girls, do not know this stuff. Which means it was never taught. Which means that someone, somewhere, decided that this was not relevant information to teach adolescent and adult women.
But...

The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges →
It does not seem unlikely to me that there is a total book on some shelf of the universe; (3) I pray to the unknown gods that a man — just one, even though it were thousands of years ago! — may have examined and read it. If honor and wisdom and happiness are not for me, let them be for others. Let heaven exist, though my place be in hell. Let me be outraged and annihilated, but for...

I’ve been waking up every day with these persistent, gnarly aches and pains ever since I got back to Seattle at the beginning of the month. It fucking sucks, and I’m tired of limping around like an old woman and feeling like there are knots the size of cinnamon rolls at the base of my neck (you see where my brain is with that analogy).
I woke up this afternoon and reached the breaking...

I am consistently amazed by how many of my peers post uneducated, bigoted things on facebook. People are ass hats. It’s a good reminder that if we want to live in a more accepting world, we’re still going to have to fight for it.

My roommate is upstairs singing his heart out and playing this song on the guitar. I don’t think he has even realized that I came home. He has an amazing voice and I love listening to him, but I’ve never told him that I’ve heard him play. I think it’s something he does for himself, and I don’t want to ruin that for him. I’m content to just sit down here and...

I just had the best day at the hospital.
It was the kind of day that makes me so happy to be where I am, doing what I love. I am so energized by the people that I get to work with and I learn so much from the situations and the people by whom I am surrounded.
It’s so awesome! I am so lucky.

It’s astrology night at my house and we are reading about our erogenous zones because that is an important thing for the internet to tell you about yourself (duh). But here is my personal brief summary of what it means to be a cancer sign:
“Sometimes cancer likes to be around people and sometimes they like to be alone. Sometimes cancers are independent and sometimes they are not....

I can’t think of anything as awkwardly unaesthetic in the english language as the conjugation “I’d”.

My dad got me a pack of toothbrushes for Christmas. Let me say before I continue that this is not a whining or complaining post, but my first reaction was to roll my eyes and think about how much I love my dad and how silly he is. Because I think it’s a sign of how much he loves me (and my sister, who also got toothbrushes) that he was wandering around some gawdawful department store with...

My favorite kind of friends are the ones who still love me even when our main source of communication is when I walk out of my room in my pajamas at 7pm and ask what they’re up to and after they tell me I say oh cool, no thanks and get back in bed
Basically my roommates are the best

Resolving.
I welcomed the new year from the Oregon coast and it was basically perfect. There was bad champagne on the beach with good people and good weather and fireworks. Also we watched Aliens, so there was that.
I am making real resolutions. I’m normally bad at this, so I made these a bit intangible on purpose.
Be honest with myself and others. Be gentle but true. Recognize my own limitations...

This is a boring rant about boring things.
I emailed my professor with a question about some of our clinical paperwork yesterday and the answer she sent me back makes it look like she literally did not read a single word I wrote. This annoys me. It’s fine to not know the answer to something, but for the love of god please just say so. Do not pretend that I asked you a completely different...

I come home with the biggest smile on my face. I can’t remember a time when any one thing has made me this simply happy.
I like what we are building.
