Happy belated birthday HulaOriginally Posted by Hula
Whatever happened to those awesome birthday threads? Have we all gotten so hard, soul less and old? Virtual gifts always seemed the most fun and thoughtful. Gawd, I would just love to just stick my face right into that cake - malted milk balls - yum.

I started talking to a girl I was head-over-heels for before my last 2-year relationship. Ended up goin' to her place last night and having a blast, catching up and introducing each other to Spartacus and Breaking bad, hopefully doing it again sometime really soon. The funny thing is, I got in touch with her again because I thought I saw her on campus and wanted to say hey, and not only was the girl I saw not even her, but man, this girl has gotten GORGEOUS in the last couple years. This other girl I thought was her doesn't even compare, haha.
And without trying to sound like a douche - She's totally into me, and that's a really great feeling.

I've lost 16 lbs as of today. Feels good knowing it is working.

Silly little things like an ice cold Dr Pepper after a long day at work.

I'm not sure how much I've lost, but I've been losing a bit of weight, too! All that walking when I'm at work, I'll wager.

The old band is getting back together after hiatus! I think I mentioned this before, but ideas are now flying through the intertubes! It'll be tough, we're in Vancouver, Toronto, and Portland, so it's a long distance relationship. But INTERNET! I may buy a Kaoss pad...

That girl I mentioned before? Spending the night tonight. Is it weird that I'm actually more excited just to be spending a fun night with her at my place than I am about the possibility of sexy time?

programmed drums for 8 hours today... towards the end of that marathon session, I was sure it was all turning into incomprehensible bullshit. Took a step back, ate dinner, and listened again, and I think it's the best thing I've done by a mile.

In addition to having a great time with my girlfriend this weekend, I had an awesome class last night. We skyped with one of my professor's former co-workers and asked him questions regarding his field of study; equity and diversity issues in science education. After I asked my question, and he answered, he told me that if I ever wanted to get my PhD/do post-doc work to send him my resume.
Pretty Schweet!

Pray tell more.
I did a zen meditation retreat for three days. Silent for three whole days. It was hard as all, but I did it. Me so proud of me.

Well, the guy was Alberto Rodriguez. He's pretty well respected researcher with regards to issues of equity and diversity (here's a good example of his work). A lot of the questions that other students in the class had asked dealt with students, parents, how do I get people involved, etc. I just asked if he felt that, in his experiences at different universities, teacher education programs did an adequate job of preparing pre-service teachers with tools to deal with equity and diversity in their classroom in a meaningful way. He told me about a longitudinal study he is working on that addresses this. I then asked him what sort of outcomes he is expecting, and how to present them to further the issue and advance the cause. After explaining to me how he plans on collecting information and using it, he dropped the "and if you ever want a place to study/get your PhD/etc, get in touch!" Made me feel pretty good!

Watching one of my favorite authors talk on YouTube about the direction of the novel and debate people while being preposterously well spoken, and funny, and ridiculously good looking.

Saw a goddamn huge meteor while at work last night. Also, when the moon was on the horizon it was the colour of rust. QUIT BEING SO FUCKING COOL, SPACE.

Worked on topology ALL day in a panic trying to get it done before 5 when it was due. Turned it in. Then came back, washed a load of laundry, made vegan cookies, rice, dal, and a potato spinach dish. Now back to math for most of the weekend, but at least got some things done that had been bugging me all week.
Also bought a really cool rice cooker - it is made of stainless steel, and the same on that my friend and sushi maker uses at her asian grocery shop (I bought it from her). You can cook other stuff in it besides rice.

I got two jobs yesterday! The first is doing maintenance work for my apartment complex. This is awesome, because not only does it completely pay my rent for working 14 hours a week, but I can get a pet without having to pay the pet fees, covered parking, and all sorta cool little things. Also, since now I can renew my lease for next year and get $50 off my monthly rate, that means I'll have to work less once that rolls around.
I also heard from another apartment complex, jut cleaning up some more for them. That'll be another 10 ish hours a week to cover my spending/gas/food money. If the work load is manageable, I may even take a third odd job for like, 3-5 hours a week. There are a lot of those here.
Now if I can get this homework out of the way today, I'll be set. Time to make a bitchin' breakfast.
OH! And I scored high enough on one of my mid-terms that I no longer have to take the final. YEEES.

So I just got an offer to project manage and put together a quick research group for an exchange program between Sweden and the Canary Islands. I'm off to Gran Canaria - Las Palmas next friday!

Damn! That's fucking amazing, congratulations!
Edit.
I finally started my AmeriCorps application process and I when I got to the part about a motivational statement- I WASN'T completely terrified of having to write for once! At first I hesitated and decided to work on it tomorrow because I've had a long day, but all I have been thinking about is why the hell AmeriCorps appeals to me so much especially since I was so sure I was going to go into the art industry business (because I thought I'd be "happy just being around art") and ultimately how both those things change how I feel about myself as an artist to begin with. I just started a rough draft of my statement anyways and I've already got three paragraphs down. I feel so damn happy that I have something to say and that I'm actually writing it successfully! (I made my dad proof read already.)
I also had a brainstorm earlier today for ideas for a project that my friend and I want to collaborate in eventually. I'm proud of my brain right now <3 It's nice to feel that I'm not completely useless outside the school environment (I'm probably going to be repeating that last part to myself for a long time).

Guess we'll have to include swingers fucking in sand dunes to the research now. Thanks!
