I live in the coolest city ever with my future husband @shaneharter (who I didn't even know 5 years ago!). Life is pretty great :-)

Well, think about it this way:

If you can give a smile to a smile, you can give a smile to a smile to a smile.
Which means that you can also give a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile.
Which leads to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile.
If you've followed along so far, you’d have guessed that the next step is giving a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile.
Which is really just a step before a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile to a smile.

And this, dear Julia, is making my head hurt just by writing it. So imagine having to write the code for it.

You don’t want to give a headache, do you?

ps: yeah, that’d be awesome… if you like to smile, hmmm, there MIGHT be something new on Formspring very soon…

This trick has not worked since 2002

Listen very carefully, Tim! You have to get out of there now! Follow my directions. Stand up and leave the building. Be quiet about it, and don't run! Running is the worst possible thing you could do! Casually walk ten blocks in the northern direction. By this time, they will probably realize you're onto them! Keep your cool! Very soon you will come upon a parking lot. Find the red chevy impala. The doors will be unlocked. The key is in the center console, and you should have a full tank of gas. Drive westward. Once you go through six stoplights, make the first right, and parallel park the car. Get out. Go up to the first man you see on the sidewalk. He should be wearing a brown sweater. Ask him if he has seen Charlene. He may give you weird looks, but this is all a part of the act. He will be testing you, so be persistent until he answers. He will give you the secret coordinates of the next place you need to go. Get back into the impala and follow the man's directions if you want to live! Someone will explain everything to you once you get there...just keep a lookout for the people in green uniforms, don't stop for cops (especially if you know you were driving the speed limit), and be weary of motorcyclists...be careful! The universe depends on your safe arrival...

Michelle was already taken and I'm not very creative

I used to have to wake up and deliver newspapers BEFORE getting on the school bus at 6:30 AM sharp. The bus ride took a full 90 minutes because of a compromise the city made with the parents of children who attend private school. They basically said, "we will bus your kids but they aren't gonna like it." We did not like it.

Most mornings I would climb on the bus and get a few minutes of blissful rest before a pair/trio of extremely loud middle school girls climbed on around 6:55. We would beg them to stop screeching but they refused. Eventually I learned to tune out even the most obnoxious screeches and I was able to get an additional 90 minutes of sleep on the bus every morning.

This experience has left me with the ability to fall asleep basically anywhere at any time if I am tired. This is extremely useful when travelling or when you find yourself in unorthodox accommodations. So thanks, screeching middle school girls, for teaching me how to sleep even under the most stressful conditions.

Full House season 1, every single episode. @sandosh and I can't wait to be immersed in the best of american culture…

I delete Orchid, like a dumb n00b. :/

Austria! I traveled through on a train when I was studying abroad, but didn't get to stop. I would LOVE to experience Vienna...

Saw Jeff, Who Lives at Home this weekend and it was surprisingly inspiration. I highly recommend!

Packing for vacations makes me sooo stressedddd. What if the weather is drastically different than forecasted? What if these shoes give me a blister?? What if I forget my hairbrush???

Express my gratitude.

Snaked. My brother always had snakes as pets when we were growing up so I'm used to them!

A little of both...

I'm a sucker for designer purses

Lots of pictures and lots of artwork, but not enough yet!

My hallway is filled with pictures of mine and @st3ck3l's family. I'm working to build this collection with picture of us as little kids and hopefully more pictures of our families.

In our living room we have some really awesome prints that we've collected. Including a print of a honey badger and a beard poster.

In our dining room we have a wall dedicated to California artwork. We're both born and raised in California and we've collected awesome California art to put on the wall. We have one more print waiting to be framed and hung up and we also have awesome old maps of San Francisco that I've found and I want to print out and hang up. Also, Curtis has some great shots of the Port of Oakland that will probably find their way up there as well.

Basically, I've had a lot of fun hang up artwork in my house. I think it makes our house feel great. Plus, my favorite part is I've reserved the bedroom to be a blank canvas. I want to make artwork to decorate the walls with. Since we can't paint in our apartment I've been trying to come up with creative ways to decorate the walls. I've got a great idea for a sewing project brewing right now.
