So I'm starting this because my photo page was a flop once I reached my maximum photos and I NEVER e-mail anyone. I'm a loser. I thought this would be a little more interesting and easier (for me) than regular old e-mails anyway. not that my life is terribly interesting to account but someone out there might want to read it.

so I guess I'll start with today.
today I went to work. for those unaware I work in a forensic pathology department assisting with autopsies. right now its just temporary but I hope it'll become permanent. today there were no autopsies to perform, partly I would suspect, due to the fact that the forensic pathologist and his assistant are away at a conference in Germany. So today we cleaned out a freezer full of, well I guess now, medical waste. It smelled bad but it filled up my 4 hour work day.

with the new ipod mum and dad purchased for both Gregory and I, i have found myself venturing out doors much more. (I have self-diagnosed social anxiety) I think with the music buzzing in my ears it drowns out the paranoid, neurotic noise that tells my brain to be nervous and anxious around people. So I started running. So far so good.

Gregory is due home soon and tonight we've decided to be bold and go have a drink. Now, popular to whatever stories might have traveled home with mom and dad, we really don't go out or drink that often. We were in vacation mode as well while they were visiting. So yeah, we're gonna have a drink or two and talk about things like alien invasions and why we love the interior design of our favorite bar/lounge place. We're very deep thinkers.

on an unrelated note to this evening's planned activities, I've started knitting. Yesterday was my first day ever. Stephanie tried to teach me a while back but I just wasn't getting it. So I looked up so instructions on the trusty inny-net and I got it! So now I'm knitting away, I guess making a scarf. Isn't that everyone's first project, which in reality you're just knitting and knitting until before you realize it your straight knitting-ness can wrap around your neck and thus it turns into a scarf. I have visions of becoming really good at it. We'll see. But its fun for now. Since I really don't have my own friends here (I share gregory's friends) sometimes it can get pretty lonely and boring up in this piece. So I'm really glad I got ahold of these needles and yarn; my life has greatly improved already! in the past 2 days I've already watched less TV ad spent less time in the computer, and I guess on an educational level I'm exercising my brain aswell, so there's nothing bad about that! So that's all that's going on for now.
