some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness, some to see a bear would pay a fee -
but me, i just bear up to my bewildered best, and some folks even see the bear in me

filling in the gaps

I didn't write in this blog for about 4 years. Here's the list of things that need to be caught up on, and which it would probably behoove me to write a recap for future-me to enjoy.

1. Grad school
      a. Living on my own. With the cat.
2. Am I gay? (Asexual? Graysexual? A Robot?)
      a. Regardless, I'm never dancing at a straight club again.
3. Let's join a fancy new choir!
      a. And let's be on the board. And be the webmaster. And the secretary.
4. Hey there, active Riley!
      a. How the hell did I get up that early?
      b. A brief foray into Roller Derby.
5. Hey there, Crossfit!
     a. Burpees and lunges and wallballs, oh my!
6. Paleo say whaaaat?
     a. Also, vegetable juices.
7. Hair is better with color in it (a photographic journey).
      a. Apparently everyone hated my perm but never told me.
      b. Why I will never again have long hair.
8. KPOP HOLY SHIT KPOP.
9. K-Dramas
10. No, for real, let's move to Korea.

I'm sure there are other things that I'll remember along the way, but that's a good list to start with. Don't know yet if I'll make them posts, or sections on a separate page.

the blog lives!




Hey yall.  I'm still alive. And I've decided to resurrect this blog. The main reason this blog died was because I started grad school and my life got INSANE.  I should do a grad school recap post at some point, actually.
Anyway, the blog is coming back, even though I'm still crazy busy:

1) Working full-time.
2) Grad school full-time.
3) Graduate capstone project due June 5th.
4) Ancora board secretary.
5) PREPPING FOR KOREA.*
6) Taking Korean language classes 1/week.
7) HCG Diet **

other confounding factors:
- no crossfit = T_T ***
- commuting via bike/bus takes time, yo
- posture/movement therapy 1/week
- chiropractor every 1-2 weeks

* Job searching for ESL teaching positions in Seoul - hopefully starting between July 15 and August 31. (I'll graduate June 15.) Part of the reason I'm resurrecting this blog is because I know I'll want to document the Korean adventure that is my life pretty soon, and I'd rather not start a whole new blog.

**Also, doing the HCG Diet in hopes of being able to buy clothes in Korea (the most purposefully skinny country in the world).

*** HCG Diet prevents me from doing crossfit for 40 days.  Just like jesus in the dessert.  JUST LIKE THAT.  Also because i don't get to eat very much.  But, like, it's super exciting in many respects.
And i started another blog to chronicle my HCG adventure (just like everyone else who does it): CLICK HERE.
