The Daily Sabs

There's something wonderful about freshly washed sheets. These ones
get bonus points for being brand new and being marimekko. They were a
wedding gift from karenlee, which was slightly ironic in that I
actually owe her a set of sheets from when I got crystalized cough
drop candy drool all over hers way back in 2001. I have no idea why
I'm telling this story.

Ps. Hair is freshly clean now too. You really don't want to know how
long it was between washes.

Pps. Hey lamers, I hope everything went well today!

after a longer than expected trip - i am finally home. sadly, i think i've caught a cold and just want to lie in my own bed.

it was worth it though. friends, and bikes, and puppies, and fun. totally worth it. even that part about the car being in portland still. yah i think that was worth it too.

it's been a long day, we had a little hiccup here at work (sorry if you received a kajillion onsugar emails), and now i'm tired of looking at the computer screen. so guess what? i'm phoning it in. i succumbed to that obnoxious/strangely fascinating facebook 25 meme and now i'm copying amy and am reposting it here. feel free to post your own. honestly, i strangely love reading them all.

1 - i was boycotting this 25 random things meme, but have failed. besides, if i don't hurry there won't be any folks left to tag.

2 - my karaoke jam is Just a Gigolo, louis prima style, complete with scatting section.

3 - i love traveling and am collecting countries like they are pokemon. 17 and counting.

4 - i am not, despite popular belief, a native californian, and spent the first year of my life in montana.

5 - i was named after kate jackson's character in charlie's angels.

6 - i can't fall asleep if the bottom sheet isn't smooth - i call it the princess and the pea syndrome.

7 - i hate washing my hair.

8 - i was internet famous once, but didn't bother harnessing the power of the tubes. yes, that is regret you hear in my voice.

9 - i am horrible at keeping in touch and love the friends who are understanding of this. i think a good friendship is one where it feels like no time has passed, even if you haven't spoken in several days, months or years.

10 - my favorite fruit is pineapple. it would be white guava, but that's too hard to come by.

11 - i love baking and can make a mean cupcake (pear champagne anyone?).

12 - i love kids, but do not want my own and really wish people would stop asking me when i'm having them.

13 - i enjoy public train-transportation, but dislike public-bus transportation.

14 - to entertain myself on my muni rides, i make up stories about my fellow riders. lately, i've been pretending they are different animals.

15 - i have a half sister i have never met.

16 - i hate emoticons, and die a little inside each time i accidentally use one :)

17 - i conned my jr. high band teacher into teaching me how to print photos and have been an avid photo nerd since. i've never pursued it as a career, but was thrilled when NME published me.

18 - speaking of NME, i am not an anglophile, but went through a brit-pop phase (not sure it's over), enjoy british comedies, and once lived in cambridge.

19 - i don't really believe in organized religion, but honestly enjoy going to temple with my mom. i feel pretty guilty that i didn't go this new year.

20 - when flying on large planes (the kind with a middle section of seats) i must sit on the right hand side. i'm convinced it will crash if i don't.

21 - i am not easily embarrassed, however my behavior at my 10-year hs reunion haunts me. i have never been that drunk in my entire life - including my ridiculously cliched 21st birthday. sorry if i said something horribly inappropriate to you or your future/former spouse/sig. other.

22 - i have a really terrible memory and often forget things i'd like to remember. unfortunately (see #21) i often remember the things i'd like to forget.

23 - i love entertaining and always have drinks and snacks on hand. after all, you never know when someone might stop by.

24 - my favorite sound is of an orchestra tuning to A and then the quiet that happens before the conductor walks on stage. in the right venue, it gives me goosebumps.

25 - i can't begin to explain how thankful i am for the hand i've been dealt.
