Pardon me while I blow the dust off of my LJ. Can I just pretend that it hasn't been like nine months since I last posted and just pick up like a major amount of time hasn't passed? Cool. Thanks.

I think I want to train for Bloomsday next year. I really think I could get to the point that I could actually finish without dying by the time May rolls around. So this is me officially in training.

Have rediscovered my love for Pandora. Downloading the app for my phone was certainly helpful. I've been listening to my Ben Kweller station while I read the paper the last two mornings. Pandora makes me oh, so happy.

So, looking for a house is proving to be rather frustrating. I mean, I figured it wouldn't be easy, but sheesh. We need a place with at least two bedrooms, preferably two (full) bathrooms, and washer/dryer hookups (but no w/d included), for approximately the same that we're paying now. Then there's the issue of do we want to find a third person to live with us so that our rent is lower? I've started scouring Craigslist like it's my job.

I come bearing pictures! Documentation of the trip from Washington to Steubenville, and pictures from the Jars of Clay concert the other night.

( Dial-uppers, beware. )

I had such a blast at Creation this year. I'm so glad I went for the whole thing rather than just a day or two like I thought I was going to have to because of school. I started writing this "review" last night around 8, and by midnight I had barely made it through Friday's events. Let that be a warning to you: I tend to be rather verbose.

Those of you on dial-up, beware: Many, many pictures are contained within this LJ-cut.

The fact that people can read my LJ without me knowing who they are has finally caught up with me, so we're going friends-only now.

You know the drill, comment to be added. I'm not making any cuts, so if you're already a friend, don't worry.
