another week goes by...
oh, i'm living the single girl life...and enjoying it. i'm able to do so much that i couldn't do while i was dating matthew. i swore to myself that i wouldn't date/hook-up with another co-worker....but who else do i know in this freakin' town? i guess it's not a bad thing. fun, in fact. but i should watch myself so i don't get too carried away.
i went to steven's pass with olke on saturday--so much fun! i'm deliriously proud of myself because i snowboarded all day and did a pretty decent job. i didn't fall at all on my very last run...given, it was the daisy chair lift run..but still! i was able to go down some blues without killing myself too...i definitely have a lot more confidence. most of the time, i was boarding with darlene, olke's new woman...so sad...she's *so* into him and i think he's having hesitations. i hope things work out. Jon also went, kickin' olke's butt in the snow--ha ha. another person went too...but i didn't see him...and i shouldn't have even been looking out for him...but i was. how sad.
then we all went to see the kronos quartet at the moore theatre...what a fantastic show. i need to go out and see more concerts, plays, ballets, etc...afterwards, we went to jeanne's bday party which was kinda dying down..but there were lots of people there that i knew that I hadn't talked to in awhile.
superbowl sunday. my first time watching the superbowl since..gosh, i don't know when...high school? this event kinda came and went while i was at smith...no one seemed to really take notice except for lori, the only die-hard football fan amongst my whole crowd of friends. i was disappointed in the commercials this year, which is what i was looking forward to. i mean, if you're going to spend x gazillion dollars per minute on an ad, be a little more creative.
i've decided my entries are super boring..but that's because i don't really divulge much. i'm more of a private person than i ever thought...at least when it comes to this. i only hint at the events of my real life.

i'm getting used to the hair...even liking it. had a pretty good weekend...though worked a bit. saturday night was "the big sexy", or the annual amazon ball..this time at the westin. it was a blast---we first went to see olke's video installation at the fuzzy engine in ballard, which was awesome. there was this piece called "get me the damn out of childhood" that involved a bunch of blowtorch-fused toys funneling out of a record player....and then, there was the ball. i loved seeing all my coworkers all dressed up, whether that was in formal gear or some crazy costume. we all ended up at olke's house afterwards...fun with the coworkers...[sigh]...perhaps a little too much fun ;)
went rockclimbing yesterday on sunday with ben...i really like vertical world...better than stone gardens. i'm so weak. blegh.
eugene had a birthday shin-dig at his place on sunday night--he's 27! wahoo!
then it was back to work yesterday....and Bowling Night in Canada 2001! yeah, so i go bowling with members of the music team...it's actually a ton of fun and i got to hang out and talk to some people i hadn't seen in awhile.

yes, i'm still at work. that's become a resounding theme in my entries lately.
oh, i'm hungry.
went crazy and spent a hundred bucks on cds tonight. that's what happens when i'm working too much...i feel the need to treat myself to something.
i've been listening to "set adrift on memory bliss" on repeat...it brings peace to me. this is a song that will always relax me.
hung out with brad the other night...yay!! he and i should hang out more often..it's always so fun. too bad that at any given time, one of us is always needing to work late.
i lost my badge. or i think i did. i'm now wearing a loaner one and my actual one is deactivated. =(
saw 2 movies last night: thirteen days and save the last dance...both fun to watch. i didn't know too much about the cuban missile criss, and the movie was pretty good--i really liked the actors who played the kennedys. however, i couldn't stop laughing every time kevin costner gave a feeble attempt at a boston accent. and the latter movie made me really want to go out dancing. it's so sad: seattle really lacks any good hip-hop clubs/bars. what gives?
i wonder if brian reads this.

oh, I am so tired now. Work is just draining me. I can't see any content. I don't know why. How sad. A bunch of work I did in the past 2 weeks just went ka-put. Now I have to start over. I've been here for almost 11 hours. So much to do....
Whistler was really really amazing. I'll upload my pictures eventually..but I took a lot of great ones. I ended up not snowboarding at all...and skiied the entire time, which was well worth it. On Sunday, we went up to Seventh Heaven, which was ridiculously gorgeous. It was above the tree line and all whiteness everywhere. I didn't fall very much...but I must have fallen super hard at some point because I have a huge-ass bruise on my left hip now that hurts a lot. Didn't get much sleep either---we always partied and stayed up late...and then woke up really early. The group I went with was really huge--17 people...which made it hard for everyone to hang out together...too bad. It would have been nice to get a huge group shot of everyone holding their skis/snowboards at the base or something like that. It's hard to coordinate something like that...kudos to Jed and Eric for taking on the planning.
Just before I left for the weekend, I got a really long letter from Tanyel in Germany...wow, I haven't heard from him in so long. His writing is so eloquent and deep.
Aaron also apparently went snowboarding this weekend in Vermont with people from RISD...and he broke his wrist!! My mom's all worried sick.
I wonder who reads this.

My entries are getting spaced out by week now...I'm so lame in keeping this thing up-to-date. Anyhow, I'm sitting at work now, totally frustrated. I just realized something really horrible about this huge project that I'm working on...and...i'm scared. Well, it's not that bad in terms of what I need to do to avoid..it's just so like "ERGH". Work is starting to get hard now. I'm transitioning between two groups...and it's hard finding time to still be doing all the work I want to do for both. I've got meetings still with both and it's just double duty. I've had a ridiculous amount of meetings this week alone.
I had a really long 3 hour phone conversation with someone way in my past....wil. I know he's reading this so I should be careful with what I say (ha ha). Wow, I haven't said that name in awhile. It was good...talking to him. It's amazing how much people change...the decisions they make---so different from what you'd perceive. I never thought I'd say it, but I think I might be able to talk to him again. Of course, he's still in Germany...but I don't know..we'll see.
I'm going to Whistler tomorrow!!!! Yay!!! I love that place. It's going to be huge group of people too---17 in total...all crammed up together. Hopefully, it'll be fun and not a headache of coordination...I'm sure it'll be a blast. I'm going to ski one day and snowboard the other...I still can't decide what I like better.
Hung out with Matthew again last night..making dinner and then seeing "Proof of Life" (which was, eh, okay). Felt bad because there was a big group of people that saw Maktub at Sit&Spin...but I just really needed to hang out with Matthew and prove to him that we could have a good time together without any sort of emotional rollercoaster running. It's so weird staying such good friends with someone you've dated for so long....especially when they begin dating again and blatantly let you know a little more than you probably really want to know. But I don't want him to hold back. It's just a little awkward...but hopefully for not much longer.

new years was great. the party that jon took me to was actually a lot of fun. it was a really strange connection--->I work with Jon who went to college with Steve who did Americorps with Cathy who lived at the apartment and was partying with all her friends from the College of Wooster in Ohio. We danced to Millennium Hip Hop all night long and eventually everyone crashed--on the floor, couch, chair, etc...and Jon and I finally left around 10:30am in the icy cold.
Then it was back to work..which wasn't bad at all. Not much happened in the one week I was gone.
Dot-Com Guy finally leaves the house.
My New Year's Resolutions (ha!):
To become more or a morning person
To wake up early enough to work out in the mornings instead of the evenings
To join up in some sort of extracurricular activity this year: join a choir, pick up piano again, or get involved in a theatre production of some sort
