as a bee

I have not completely forgotten about my web presence... I have just been increasingly busy with school, work, friends, living, eating, drinking (water and Diet coke, that is), riding the bus, doing laundry, cleaning up after myself like a good girl, running the dish washer, writing lots of "fiction" for my writing class, attempting to play WOW (if you know what it is, you do, if not, well, then, darn), finishing the 3rd season of Alias, grocery shopping after midnight, getting soakin wet in the Seattle rain, text messaging, and pondering my life.

So, blog/picture updates are in store. Hold on to your britches, folks.

Winter break in Sitka was spellbinding. I made it a point to do as many things on the community calendar as possible (i.e. Chess at McDonald's, Dan Evans' Slide show, White E, concerts, etc.). The only things I didn't really get around to were the AA meetings and "Take Pounds Off Sensibly." -Next time. Also, while in Sitka, I worked for my dad. And I don't mean that I did some stuff around the house or washed his truck. I mean, I worked for SouthEast Fire Protection, putting sprinklers in the ceiling. I got pretty greasy bein' a "pipefitter," but it was pretty great. I was the only female I saw around the job sites. Big surprise. -It seemed to be an even bigger surprise to others.
At one point, I was standing on an eight-foot ladder, "hanging some pipe," when I saw Megan Lehman and her mom. "Hey Megan," I said casually.
"She looked around, and then finally up, meeting eyes with me. She frowned in confusion and hesitantly said, "Ohh, hi...?"

Anyway, now I am back to the academic grind. I am taking two classes this quarter; "Sociology 222: Society and Behavior" and "English 405: Writing Fiction."

Life is well.
