Endless Summer (?)

Hey kids! I know it's been a while since I've posted something without meaning, but I have a lot of opinions, okay? I like to pretend that people on the internet care about what happens in my life, so I try to keep them updated.

First things first: I bought a ukulele! (I don't think I've mentioned this...) I got it at the beginning of July and I've just started to get the hang of it. (I can now tune it with little to no problem!). For those of you interested, Rahul taught me how to play the beginning of Stairway To Heaven last Spring, and I have taught myself Feelin' Groovy by Simon & Garfunkel (no surprises there). However, I'm still retarded at singing and playing at the same time. Practice makes perfect! Rahul and my's roommates will be having sex 24/7, so I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to jam together.

In other news, I've made a big step in my love life. I'm not going to divulge details but I will link to here, which should explain it pretty well for those of you who know me personally. The road to Moscow should be a pretty well traveled path for me by the end of the year.

I go back to school in a week and a half (11 days!) and it can't come soon enough. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is leaving my ridiculously big and comfortable bed here and packing up all my shit for college. Don't get me wrong, I like summer, but I need to feel productive. Working is one thing, school is another. I'm looking forward to the fall show, my classes, and being able to see my friends again. It will be grand. Oh! And Facebook Stalking 101 will be published in C of I's newspaper, the Coyote. :D

Ta ta for now, fictitious readers!

Fulfilling My Civic Duty



Well, it happened -- I got called for jury duty. (We Goldy's seem to be called a lot, we must be fair and unbiased in the state's opinion). I would have loved to serve (or even be asked questions) but unfortunately I was 3 people short of being questioned. So close, yet so far away. It was a child abuse case too, which would have been interesting to hear. But, eh.


In other news, I've painted my room (goodbye, orange!) and it is now 2 calming shades of blue. We also just got a new puppy who can be sweet but mostly just chews on people.

Introducing: Ruby, "The Newbie"

And, I bought this 80's inspired dress today from Forever 21 and it makes my ass look fantastic.


Can't wait.




20 more days till school starts!
