Original Post by deborahamorgan: Original Post by februarystars: yaaaaaaaawn I have somehow managed to get back to my desk at the office. my 36 hours on the west coast kicked ass, but now that same ass is draaaaaaaaaaaaaaggin'. You know it was so worth it though :) it really was sigh so exhausting, but I remembered why I love R so much, and why we're doing this together. It was nice. But more than 4 hours of sleep at a go will also be nice. and a cat. preferably one that hasn't been out in the rain LOL Tom that's a great story. I would have been up investigating immediately.

Welp. Boarded. Not ready to go to work after this haha. I've taken two Advil cold and sinus but can't kick this headache I've had since Saturday morning. Probably requires more than 4 hours of sleep heh. Chat later!

I love driving in Boston. Not parking, but driving. :P I'm spoiled now because I live on the T but I still drive to Cambridge unless I'm at R's and we can take the bus (and it's not raining....heh). I'm gonna miss Boston. But I really dig San Jose. And the Bay Area in general.

Ahh yeah I keep forgetting the trains. I'm so programmed to drive. I used to to 60-90 minutes. I don't know if I could again. An hour maybe, but if I could sit on a train with coffee and do my makeup it'd be less miserable!!

The city from Clayton?!? Crazy town!! I can't imagine the bridge every single day never mind that commute. I'm good with an hour commute but R is spoiled and has never lived more than 10 minutes away from his office. eye roll

I haven't no. I'm keeping my same job to start, and working from home. They don't officially know I plan to look elsewhere when we get there. A lot because my job drives me nuts but also because they don't pay me enough for Boston never mind the Bay Area so I'll need to go. Butttttt the stability during the move and months following is priceless.

We looked at apartments in the Bay Area this weekend. It was a whirlwind. I was only there for 36 hours because my flight Friday got cancelled (engine trouble?!?!!). The places were SO nice. It's insane. I just hope Rich gets an offer soon so we better know our budget. We're secretly hoping for a townhouse but it's currently 500 a month over what we guess we can pay :(

The cc mobile app has gotten sooo much better but the lack of journals, avatars, etc. kinda sucks. Still way happy I can chat from the airport though!!

Morning Wicky! It was playing in the terminal. The nerd in me thought of the BEST chat song on Saturday during my layover in Detroit and forgot. :(

This made me really sad. And reminded me of the BC student from last summer. May they both be at peace.

I ended a relationship of 5 years despite incredible pressure from those around me to stay. In the end I received incredible support, and am actually BACK with that person again. As we go on year 8 (whoah) the number of times I hear "when are you getting married" is insane. I'm really not one to give a crap what others want for me if it's not right for ME. So they'll have to keep waiting for their wedding invites ;) I'm of the belief having been through it myself that a successful relationship with someone else will only come from a successful relationship with yourSELF. I spent a year and a half single, and dating, and figuring out what I wanted before I ended up back in that original relationship. Not saying I learned everything there is to know. But I learned how to love myself, and how to communicate better which has made all the difference. I learned that I am entirely capable of being totally happy alone and i am capable of being independent. If your friend is being pressured to be in a relationship, I'd urge them to look at who is doing the pressuring. Is it from themselves or others? If it's from themselves they should really look at WHY they feel this way. Is it truly because they want the relationship or are they just scared of being alone? If it's friends or family, maybe they don't understand your friend's needs/wants or maybe their projecting their own feelings/fears.

Original Post by kathygator: Original Post by iggs: The point was under attack from foreign adversaries, some of our citizens were also radicalized. Well, yeah. Even when the attack is only a perceived one, we've seen it. In fact, given the amount of divisiveness in the US, I was also half-expecting to hear it was some radicalized right-wing Christian type that did the bombing. I really was too. :\

Original Post by pinegrovedave: Original Post by februarystars: I shop as much as possible on Etsy... if it's not made in america then at least i know it was made by someone who personally oversaw it being crafted. :) I'll have to check that out. I've not heard of it before. Thanks. Oh Dave!!! You'll LOVE it. I just assumed you'd already checked there!

$90 for a well crafted piece of leather seems okay? I paid $30 for my havianas >.< granted I wear them constantly for a season. I shop as much as possible on Etsy... if it's not made in america then at least i know it was made by someone who personally oversaw it being crafted. :)

Original Post by jules817: Original Post by cakeysaurus: Original Post by februarystars: cakey I entirely understand. I found myself locked in my house that Friday feeling bad for the younger one. It was a weird dissonance for mr since he had caused such evil. I get it. :) That's a relief to hear actually. I was scared for him as well and had no idea why... I just didn't want him to die/suffer. When I think about it now I still feel the same way. I think it's because he is just a kid? I still think he should rot in prison for the rest of his life... but I still feel... bad. I find myself feeling bad for a lot of bad people who have done bad things. But then there are some I don't feel bad for. I feel bad for the kid who shot those kids in Conn. I feel bad for the boys that shot up Columbine. But I don't feel bad for the guy who shot the people in the movie theater, or the guy who shot all those kids on the island. I don't want them to die or anything awful, I just don't feel any empathy towards them, but I do towards the 19 year old, the Columbine boys, and Adam Lanza. Only difference I can see is that I viewed the ones I feel bad for as kids, and the others as adults. i really can understand this. i even had a few moments where i felt a tinge for him, because he's so young. but then i reminded myself how it felt to spend 15 minutes not knowing if my friend was alive or dead, how it felt to run in fear, and know that he did that over his stupid f-ing religion, and all my empathy went away. yep. it was and is a constant back and forth for me. honestly, the people who are so gung-ho about how we should kill/torture/murder him scare the **** out of me. i entirely understand that sense of rage (plus it's MUCH easier than the grief that will inevitably follow) but i just think the whole mindset is scary... and in a lot of way as extrem as the terrorists views themselves (although for different reasons). oh and i don't think less of anyone who feels that way, that's not how i roll.
