I am a fan of self-deprecating humor. If you ever seen me try to calculate tip on a bill, you'd experience some of the best.
My favorite from FML today:
Today, while reading some chemistry notes I came across the term "solid water". Completely stumped, I asked myself "what the hell is solid water??". Then I heard my little cousin say "ice". I'm a 4th year science major in university. He still checks the closet for monsters. FML
Awesome.

Mid-College I remember taking the Belief-O-Matic Quiz. For fun and little encouragement I decided to take it again. I'm suprised with the results, mostly in the fact that I've been attending Reform services I don't feel very Jewish. That and I need to start hanging out with more Liberal Quakers? My friend Dee will be happy about that.
| 1. | Liberal Quakers (100%) | |
| 2. | Unitarian Universalism (96%) | |
| 3. | Reform Judaism (95%) | |
| 4. | Neo-Pagan (85%) | |
| 5. | New Age (83%) | |
| 6. | Baha'i Faith (81%) | |
| 7. | Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (79%) | |
| 8. | Sikhism (74%) | |
| 9. | Scientology (73%) | |
| 10. | New Thought (72%) | |

At 10:15pm last night I get a frantic message from my sister. The kind of message that would indicate that someone has passed away. However, I was very asleep and didn't get it until this morning. Luckily nobody passed away....
Apparently, my cousin J eloped with some girl he met in NY. Congrats on that!!! My Aunt is quite beside herself because she knows NOTHING about this woman's family. She found out that the brides brother lived in Lake Tahoe and appealed to my sister to 'find some dirt'.
Well, my sister has actually dated the brother in question and it wasn't pretty. It was down right UGLY. After laughing a good bit and consulting on this dilemma, I thought to myself "What are the odds?"
It is Tahoe though. Everybody knows everybody and then usually ends up sleeping with them. I have to add this to My List of Things I Love/Find Amusing About California: #5 Tahoe. Also, on this list is #81: The lady at Lucky's that called my cracker ass mija.
I am a little confused though. I've been here three days and I already have a suntan. I have spent a total of 20 minutes outside. How is this possible?
Note to Self: I have to figure out how to post links to my page.

We made it to Sunnyvale!!!! There is no sun here, I guess it's been hiding. The living room is disaster and I'm convinced that the entire kitchen needs to be re-organized. And then there is the bathtub...
My honey has lived in this apartment for almost two years. He has never scrubbed the tub. It's just plain gross. He scores quite high on the cleanliness scale. I will have to thank his mother for that. I will over look this one (hopefully not many more) "boy grossness".
I'm pleased that i have had some interest in my doula services here. It looks like my job transfer will work out (hopefully part time) and I can be doula-ing a couple births a month. I was shocked that doulas in this area charge so much. I know this will work in my favor, because right now I'm just looking for experience.

I am reminded of a character on Northern Exposure. Chris (sexy DJ played by John Corbett) insisted that he "lost" two years of his life. Oddly, I feel very similar. I know I did stuff the last nine months, but I'm not sure I have much to show for it. And now I'm closing the chapter on my life here in the Northwest.
As of 11:00am Friday June 12, 2009, I will be leaving Bellingham and finding my way to the San Francisco area. I'm shocked that life has moved so quickly, with nothing more than a whisper and a smile.
I'm excited to renew my life in California. All doors are open. I'm even lucky enough to almost (90% sure) have a job.
The best part is every night I get to sleep next to my honey. I'd never thought I'd be ready. But I am. Very ready.
This is what I love about life. Everyday a new adventure and endless possibilities. I truly hope this trandlates to an overflow of creative juices and many many postings.
PS- I love that the people next to me at the coffee house are on a date. Probably, the first. More to smile about.
