Yes, we rant all the time in here, but I don't, so bare with me.
But I'd like to offer a nice big FUCK YOU to amazon.com for not letting me change my shipping address before completing my order. So now I'm paying 17 bucks on shipping a book to my parents house in Ohio overnight, and have to reorder the whole damn thing again.
My new lace underwear has a huge hole in it.
I got the biggest splinter of my life and it has gashed a huge hole in my finger.
Ok, so talk about being pissed off at little things, or websites like amazon.com fucking you over because they have 8 billion steps before you can check out and aejefadsnjdfsndfskldfskml |

Yesterday I found a cell phone and called the girl's parents. She picked it up this morning and was incredibly thankful. Yay to me for doing a nice deed.
I played Apples to Apples incredibly late last night with Joe, Adri and Brad. BEST GAME EVA.
I now have super glue on my fingers from fixing the tiles that came off of my coffee table. How do I get this shit gone?
So Hot Naked Boy (as in the naked man in friends) lives across the street and at 4:00 this morning was doing pushups and pullups in his room. How do I know? Because I snuck a peek into his window! I am going to try to take some photos to share for you all. Once it gets warmer outside, I'm sure he'll be walking his dog in his boxerbriefs, like he was this fall. |

I have been in Denmark since April and I only have one week left. I know I will need to come back next summer, but wow, did this year go by fast.
Then I go home for a week to sleep/visit my parents/see my high school friends and pack up whatever I have left at home, then drive to Pittsburgh to move into my new apartment and party untill the school year starts and my new job as an editorial assistant/gsa position at Creative Nonfiction starts up.
I haven't been home for more than two weeks at a time in three years. Weird. |

Ok, I have decided that I have been away from LJ far too long. And I keep switching between my myspace blog and this place to rant and rave about my woes and fabulous encounters etc.
So, I will post more about my project about Christiania when I've returned to the states. It's too much to digest now.
Instead, I will say that I have two more weeks here, and am thinking of going to Norway or Stockholm for a few nights.
I also saw a circus this weekend. A real circus, not a 3 ring, 70$ a ticket, lions jumping through hoops, arena kind of circus. But rather, a small, cozy circus of international performers coming to play for free in Christiania.
There was one ridiculously hot girl who cracked the petals off a flower with a whip. Then she did an amazing dance to Total Control by The Motels and had a power tool and a harnes around her waist with a metal ball that sparked every time she put the power tool to it.
It was probably the most sexually expressive and beautiful thing ever. Seriously. |

It has been a while since I've updated this,
But I am officially going to Denmark this summer because I was awarded a 3000 dollar scholarship to move to Copenhagen and work on my manuscript.
I am also considering applying for poetry mfa programs when I'm done with my nonfiction MFA, but we'll see. That's two years from now.
Speaking of poetry though, I really enjoy the poetry workshop I am taking.
Tomorrow I am going to WV for three days with my nonfiction classmates for a retreat in the woods. Hopefully I will get some work done.
I am so obsessed with goat cheese right now. It's delicious.
And my apartment is suprisingly clean. I need to keep it that way, so time to do some dishes! |

I got sucked into my myspace blog, but felt I should update here as well.
I'm in Cincinnati and will be headed back to pittsburgh for new years eve
I am falling in love with Pittsburgh. You wouldn't understand if you don't live there.
I am going to Denmark all summer and have been in touch with some interesting young Danish rebels who will be showing me around Chrstiania, hopefully. Tomorrow I will post explaining my project proposal.
Nori and I got high and watched the first six episodes of Weeds tonight. I am going to buy that DVD. She is going to the Peace Corps for two years. I'm going to miss her.
I can't believe that my first semester of graduate school is over. I will post something thoughtful later. |

Wow I have not updated in FOREVER.
So here goes, in the shortest summary I can manage.
I am in Pittsburgh, and absolutely love it. yes, I miss Iowa City. Yes, I miss the people there, but Pittsburgh is a new place with new faces, and so far it has been amazing.
Except that it rains here quite a bit. But oh well. I have made some very good friends in a short ammount of time, am taking a Utopian Lit class, a Nonfiction Readings class and a Nonfiction workshop class. I've produced about 40 pages this semester thus far. After a haitus this summer, I am rediscovering my creativity.
And my love of beer.
My bike was stolen here, so next spring I may have to look into making an investment in a new one.
I love my apartment, despite it's small size, though next year I may be moving to a bigger, better location. Though my location now, in Shadyside, is quite good. I live on the same block as a lot of bars and resturaunts and shopping, and walking distance from campus.
I have been tutoring student athletes, running, and writing. I am recording with a band (cello parts) after Thanksgiving. I want to start taking yoga lessons.
My fellow MFA students are all incredibly nice and come from such different backgrounds than me. It is nice to be surrounded by a diverse writing community. I am currently VERY interested in the lyric essay, and may post some clips from things in a bit.
Ok, update done. |
