been a whiiiile
Hey tumblr, guess it’s been a while.
Um, so, I’ve been working at the Montessori school in town. It’s privately owned, which I guess means poorly run/chaotic, but it could be much much worse so I will stay content. I get to garden with the kids most afternoons, which is crazy but fun.
Micah and I found an apartment !!! We’ve been moving in all week and still have a...

TAC
Is this real?? I basically quit my job in hopes of getting a job at TAC as an activity programmer. But also because I realized that if I didn’t get the TAC job, I would still quit out of complete hatred and frustration for my job.
And I didn’t get the TAC job. I called last week and they just said “they picked someone else, and it was not you.” sad sad sad.
So I pulled...
Crazy week !
So, Micah and I have been getting a lot of wedding stuff done, and the list of things “to do” is getting smaller and smaller. yayyyy ! it’s starting to get fun, now that it’s feeling like it’s doable. Also because I didn’t do it at all for like 2 months when I was depressed. ha.
So that’s cool.
Yesterday, I applied at the local montessori school....

Another sleepless night
Another sleepless night that requires a post.
I miss my college friends a whole whole lot. I’ve been looking at old pictures and such lately just to remind myself that I do have friends and that I used to have fun with people. It sucks that I have to do that.
Today and yesterday were both pretty good days, because it has been BEAUTIFUL outside. Yesterday, I rode my bike and walked around...

From May to now; a new year.
I feel like I’ve had a whirlwind of emotions for the past…oh, 6 months that I haven’t even figured out how to express. I feel like I haven’t reflected on myself or my life or my emotions in about that long. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not in school and I don’t really feel mentally stimulated very often, or if I just haven’t really had...

“Everything I have loved has turned to stone.”
sad.
I feel like I’ve never had more reason to be completely happy with my life. But sometimes, I just feel so sad.
I miss my friends.
I miss not having to work to have friends.
I miss having a real life outside of work.
I miss not working full time.
I miss not having to do paperwork for 80% of my life.
I miss the Toast.
I miss not having student loans to pay. And health insurance. And car...

GLASS FIXED GEAR →
Our beloved Ben Orcutt! :]
p.s. good job, Andrew.
apquinn:
This is a short documentary I made about Ben Orcutt and his glass fixed gear.
Highlights
Today’s highlights:
-I dropped my phone in the toilet…after I peed in it. -I proceeded to throw my phone against the wall for 10-15 minutes in an attempt to get the battery out of my phone. It worked. -Going inside my clients’ home, unable to find the refugees but very able to find Fergie playing loudly in the house. -Watching an angsty high schooler make calls for me:

Occupy Wall Street
Excerpt from one of the first “Occupy Wall Street” talks…
“The most exciting candidate that we’ve heard so far is one that gets at the core of why the American political establishment is currently unworthy of being called a democracy: we demand that Barack Obama ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in...
