And I wasn’t even going to go
I have a sports injury.
As I sat on my bed last night, icing my pulled ham string, I realized quite clearly that I am an athlete. Jeff Larsh ain’t got nothing on his big sister. Of course, mom gave me a leaky bag on ice, so I got soaked, and I mean, it was […]

Moving On
I know, I haven’t been posting so much since I’ve gotten home. You might think that that is because I’ve been busy getting back into the whole swing of regular life, but, its also because I’m moving. Sort of. I’ve been living with my parents for almost five months now, which is how long […]

To Alli, Love from the Internet
When I was a little girl, or should I say, starting from when I was a little girl, my dad started calling me, “my alli.” Its cute and adorable and is still, still, my favourite way of being addressed in a pet name kind of way. Boyfriends have adopted it, mostly because I […]

The Terracotta Tour
Today Jeff and I played tourist while Jess was working. Now, I’ve done a fair share of traveling. And I’ve done a fair of tours. In Greece, my mom and I spent a particularily horrible five days with a woman named Effie, a bunch of old ladies, and several tourist traps. It was brutal. […]

The Un-Dancing Queen
I am not really a dancing kind of girl. As a matter of fact, I utter “I don’t dance” more often than I care to admit. I pick friends based on their own propensity for dancing, or, at least, for how likely they are to make me dance against my will. I am more […]

The Slow Boat to China
Well, we made it. By seven pm last night, Jeff was drinking a beer and I was reading a Cosmo, all at Jess’ house. It was like we never left home. If you don’t count the incredibly dirty, but oddly charming, city outside the windows. Honestly, this was a bit more like what I […]

Room 603
I love backpacking. I really do. I love the sense of freedom, the knowledge that you could go anywhere and be prepared for whatever comes at you. I’ve become a champion packer, thanks to all those weekend (and longer) excursions during my year in Belgium. I should be timed, I’m so fast. I love walking by […]

The Plan
Its down to the wire. We’re traveling to China today. Tonight. Two days of travel and we’ll be in Xi’an.
This morning, we’re getting on an express bus to Incheon Airport. From there, fingers crossed, we can get to the port, but since we could not find anything (ANYTHING) online specifically about how to get […]

I’ll take the French Fries, please!
Okay, yes, I’m doing two posts in one night. Who knows when else I’m going to be able to borrow a fellow hosteler’s lap top while he drinks with my brother? And in a hostel with wireless access? I’m in heaven. English keyboards do it for me. I’m going to type until he takes […]

Is it wrong that the thing I love most is the food?
Okay, so I’ve gotten a little behind. Unlike the convenience of Mike and Ciara’s apartment and its Internet (I suddenly understand, after typing their names out so much, why the media shortens couples names. Its lazy. But its brilliant. I’ll resist the urge.) However, a few days later and I’m pleased to report that […]
