(see what I did there?) I’ve been mulling over returning to my blog to do the requisite “year in review” thing ever since I got my yearly wrap-up email from WordPress. According to them, this was a very successful blogging year for me, and I was “on fire” because of the 18 new entries I [...]

You Like Me, You REALLY Like Me!
Posted in Pipe Dreams, School, tagged bloomington, IU, michael on March 7, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I’m surprised I didn’t sit down on Thursday to dash off an entry as I was just brimming and bubbling with barely-contained excitement, though I imagine the distance afforded me coherence and structure I wouldn’t have otherwise had. If I’d written this on Thursday it would have been a blur of capslock and mashed exclamation [...]

It seems this is shaping up to be a Sunday night blog–I’m generally too busy (read: too braindead) to post during the week, but after a busy weekend of work, errands, and cleaning, a brief lull invariably occurs and I find myself needing an outlet for the few thoughts rattling around my skull. I chew [...]

So, I hit a bicyclist with my car on campus this week. … Sigh. I know what you’re all thinking. In most people’s minds, it is inconceivable that in this kind of accident, the cyclist could actually be the one at fault. If you are one of those people, kindly stop reading and refrain from [...]
Tales of a 19th Grade Nothing

Decided to do a drive-by blagging as I’m sitting here watching Iron Chef America (Battle Melon!!1) while Michael fiddles with Linux, Olivia warms herself on the heating pad, and I curse the fact that IU is one of the only institutions in the country that doesn’t have Labor Day off tomorrow. Dammit. It’s amusing to [...]
Return of the Prodigal Pickler

Oh, blag. I fear our time together is henceforth doomed to be sporadic at best. I have not blagged in ten days because I have been studying for entrance exams, so what is to come of you when I begin school in earnest? I simply do not know, blag, but I do promise to make [...]
The Gospel According to Billy Mays

After an unavoidable blog vacation, I’m back! Michael and I made the move to the new apartment, and I always seem to forget what an exhausting onslaught of packing, moving, and unpacking that entails. Even with professional movers and his family in town to help, it was grueling, and the several days that follow a [...]
Let’s Do the Time Warp

[Before we begin your semi-regularly-scheduled blog, it's worth noting that today marks the five month countdown until Michael and I get married, eeeee whaaaaat? Surreal AND wonderful.] [As another, slightly related, aside, Michael just turned on Shark Week, unbeknownst to me, knowing how much I like it. And now he's Tivo-ing things he thinks I'll [...]

Reason No. 29348732 Why I Love Bloomington: the Bloomington Wildlife Preserve! I have seen more wildlife in the two months I have lived in Bloomington than the 26 years I’ve lived anywhere else. Deer are a regular occurrence, as are the red squirrels and woodchucks. It hasn’t stopped amazing me every time I drive down [...]
Inaugural post!

For those of you who managed to wander over to this corner of the internets, welcome to my new plaything/timewaster (i.e. blog). Like most of my projects, this will likely fall by the wayside, but in the meantime, I aim to write about my new life with Michael in Bloomington, my pursuit of higher knowledge, [...]
