I chose to participate in a blogging project called 2996 that was to include 2996 blogs, each giving a tribute to a fellow American lost on 9/11/2001. I was fortunate enough to be able to learn about Michael David Ferugio, who I compiled a story about from numerous sources in my previous blog. This is my personal tribute to Michael and all of the other victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks and is

It is so hard to believe that 8 years has passed. This has been my tribute every year on September 11th for fellow American Michael David Ferugion who was a victim of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Rest in peace Michael and know that you are never forgotten.So many of us were so far away from NYC on that tragic day eight years ago. Even though I was a thousand miles away, I still

I have been going through more of my things...old pictures and journals just reflecting on all that has happened. Maybe I am going about all of this the wrong way. Last year was bad, truly horrible but a lot of good things came out of it. I know in my heart that I had quit loving the ex a long time before I moved to Amarillo. I thought it was normal for things to be icky. Oddly enough, I thank

Its late. I am sitting in the living room enjoying a pear cider, a recent favorite courtesy of my beer-loving friends in Denver. I have been going through re-organizing the parentals house. I can't help it--I have become a bit of an organization freak in the past year. I guess moving three times in a year will do that to you. As I was cleaning out the family computer desk, I stumbled upon old

You can't go home again...or can you? It is apparently entirely possible if your country is in the middle of a god-awful recession (thank you Wall St.) And so it is that I have found myself sitting in the living room of my childhood home with half of my stuff back in my old room (the other half still in my condo in Downtown Denver). But this time it isn't the same, as Tom Wolfe pointed out in the

It is a Monday morning and I am sitting here by the window. In true Denver form, it is snowing. Tiny white snow flakes scatter in the air slowly as if time had slowed some how. I feel like I am in a snow globe. I find it ironic that on one of my last days in Denver it is snowing and it is nearly May. Things have become so complicated....well, perhaps they never stopped being complicated over the

Well the good news is that I actually got a job at a law firm here in Denver. I am pretty relieved considering how worried I was about getting a job at all this year. But at the same time I am really, really nervous about this new job. They handle accounts for banks who have people who essentially stopped paying their bills and my job would be to actually file the lawsuits against these people

Yes, friends, it is true. Megan got shit-canned. They have been nice enough to give me about a month's notice but it still kind of sucks. I am glad in a way because I have become really frustrated with work and everything but nonetheless it is stressful looking for a job during the worst recession since the Great Depression. I have some good leads and I hope to be re-employed in some form or

I've been awake for what seems like an eternity but has only been 3 hours. I keep racking my brain over the events from yesterday at work and contemplating how bad it could possibly be next week. I have been assured that the layoffs next week will be a certain hell. This whole recession\potential depression (as sources are claiming that we now qualify for) bewilders me. I still have my job, my

I can’t even put today into words but I know I should write it down—that I should be writing all of this down…it is just so difficult. There are no right words. We started round two of layoffs today but this time it hit home a little harder. They laid off one of my friends—really the only girl that I was friend with at work and in Denver. I feel so horrible. She was so worried about it throughout

It was so warm yesterday afternoon...within minutes of getting home from work the snow blew in and this is what I woke up to. Of course it will be 50 today and all of this will be gone by noon but it was nice to see my last snow in this apartment. I move downtown in exactly a week and I am incredibly excited.

It’s a bit of a melancholy day today—it started out with the sunshine and high hopes but will end frigid and wet. Oddly enough, the timing coincides with another of The Canadian’s recent departures. Awesome. I am mopey because he has left and cold, well, for obvious reasons. At times, I hate how transitional my life is. I just want stability and I miss The Canadian.Sometimes, when I breathe just

The layoffs started this morning. At first, I didn’t think anything of today. I woke up and had my usual phone conversation with Todd. I came in and ordered my plane ticket to go see my advisor in February. Some people came in and out of the door-- I thought nothing of it. Then I started to notice: people going into HR with a manager and coming out looking distressed and bewildered. So far none

Wow. It really has been a while since I posted last...I guess Kourtney wasn't lying. I suppose a series of updates are in order... The fall and winter have comprised of a series of extreme ups and downs. In October I was finally getting my life together--I settled into a job and could finally rely on regular income. I was making friends at work but on a personal level everything was falling apart

I am starting to rethink a few of the decisions I have made here in Denver as of late. Things are such a mess. I have let myself become emotionally attached to someone who may or may not be dependable. I fear his situation is going to crush me. I don't know what possessed me to think that dating someone going through a nasty divorce was a good idea. It has certainly been a lot of pain and a lot

I don't know what it was about sitting here tonight but something hit me, a realization of sorts or possibly just a panic moment...I am not quite sure. Anyhow, I just started to take count of all the people I know--people I went to high school with or even college with--who are married, having kids, buying houses, and having a career. It scares me--I feel like I have missed the bus but I don't

So it is 2:45 am (3:45 for all my TX folk) and I can't sleep. I was asleep earlier (waaaay earlier) but now I am wide eyed and hungry. So here I sit listening to music, eating Ben & Jerry's Half Baked straight out of the carton--turning into some kind of nocturnal half woman-half cat freak combo. *sigh* Wow. So this is what it is like to be "single" again--watching a couple hours of Sex and The

So. I have definitely had some time to put things into perspective and I think my instincts are right. I should be focusing on me right now and not anyone else-- at least not seriously. I have so much school stuff to focus on and I swear--as god as my witness--I am not going to let a boy make career decisions for me EVER again. I have said this to myself a few times but I really, really, really

I swear to god I can never make up my mind. Yesterday I am determined about one person and today I am crazy independent and hell bent on not falling into yesterday's trap. What is wrong with me? This whole dating thing is so confusing. I wish I would pick a philosophy and stick with it. Ugh. I know that I will change my mind when we go out again. Do I just go with this or do I keep fighting

Ok. So I have been slacking on the blogging updates but what can I say-- I am a busy girl. I didn't finish the last post because my computer randomly restarted on me. That was all I could salvage so I just went ahead and posted it anyway. Anyway--on to "things"Life in Denver is good...wait scratch that...better than good. Things in Denver are great.

Ok. So updates as promised are unsurprisingly overdue. Sorry! My birthday went uncharacteristically well. I had a very good day. I talked to a lot of people on the phone and then met "S" in downtown. We walked up and down the streets while he gave me the history on many of the buildings or the areas--it was fascinating. There were several festival type things going on downtown and so we checked a

So it's official. I am 24. It seems so weird that all of the sudden I am another year older, single, and I live in Denver. It is a dream come true. I am completely happy with my place in life right now--my age, my location, my school, socially. It is the strangest place to be because for so long I was so miserable. I feel like this year is going to be the best year I have had in a really long

So much has happened since I blogged last. This will be the only time I speak of it but Danny broke off our engagement. He cheated on me with his 20 year old assistant while I was away saying goodbye to my dying uncle. She stayed the night in our house, on my side of the bed while I was gone. He broke off our engagement the day my uncle died and spent the time I was away at the funeral

So this is it...I am actually moving today. It is so crazy that 2 and a half weeks ago I was moving home from Amarillo with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I felt like I had been through hell and back...like I had fought this really awful boxing match and left the ring bruised and broken. Fortunately I had the opportunity to see some great people I love at home and it helped me lose some

It's 2 AM...I am pretty sure that I was dead asleep several hours ago but all the sudden I found myself lying in bed, in the dark no less, surrounded by all my thoughts. Life can be such a scary, complicated thing sometimes and I find it incredible how much perspective one can gain during momentary bouts of insomnia. 2008 has been such a cruel joke to my family and I this year.

It's strange. My whole youth was spent waiting for milestones that are at least within arms reach now. I never questioned what came after all of that stuff. What happens after college graduation or marriage? No one ever tells you to dream about the things in between. I can't remember anyone telling me that life wasn't simply a collection of milestones but rather it was the time spent in between

Things have been so hectic lately. I was actually shocked when I got home from work tonight and realized that I actually had about an hour to myself. So...I decided to blog for the first time since summer. I know, I know. I am sorry. I just haven't had much to say. I think that sometimes we need a break from ourselves...that sometimes just "existing" is ok and that is exactly what I have been

Things in my life, as of late, have not taken on the most positive qualities, as if you can't already tell from my "gloom-and-doom" blog entries. Lately I have felt that so much negativity clouds my vision and thus, I have essentially been mentally incapacitated. However, a new thought\perspective occurred to me today. Over the past six or seven months I feel like I have been inadvertantly doing

Yeah. I have spent the past few hours trying to find new blogs to read as my little ring of favorites is slowly dwindling...For some reason people just don't blog anymore and I have realized that most of my favorites no longer exist. So why the hell is it so hard to find decent new blogs??? Because everyone and their fucking dog thinks its ok to post pics of their kids on every other entry. Damn

For some reason, I find that my neighborhood feels the most alive in the evening as the sun tries to creep down below the horizon. The colors are their boldest--the red on my geranium pops, the lawn has never looked greener, and the neighborhood kids ride their bikes down the street enjoying the pure bliss of summer that I remember so fondly but cannot recapture. It's not even the end of July and

Sometimes I feel like I am sitting on the verge of something--something great, disastrous, sorrowful, or wonderous, I never know. It is quiet times like tonight that I think of as the quiet before the storm. I never know what brings them on or what they preceed. It just happens. I rewind time back in my head, review my life, and time's implications. Its kind of like a crossroads.

I really hate Amarillo sometimes. I hate how I have no friends and that I spend all my time alone in a house with the animals. I hate that all Danny has time to do is play his playstation. I hate that I read so much just to pass the time so that I don't feel so alone. I miss the buzz of a real city. I miss my friends and I miss my family. Sometimes I really think that it was not worth it for us

Well, as fate would have it Danny and I are officially aunts and uncles. The twins were born this morning (8ish Denver time). Its all so exciting. Emma Lauren was born first at 8:31, weighing 6 pounds and 9 ounces while Allison Beth was born at 8:35, weighing 5 pounds and 10 ounces. Both were 19 inches long. I am so excited. Suddenly July feels so far away :(I would like to post pictures but

Danny and I taking graduation pictures, the day after of course! What is it about waking up in the middle of the night that gets you to thinking about ghosts from the past? I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't stop from thinking about the inevitable failures and disappointments in life that have occurred thus far. It seems like everyones baggage comes through at night, like its the point

A view from the outside. Taroko Gorge, Taiwan.It seems to me that five years ago I was almost in the same place as I am now. I was 17, soon to be 18, and I was about to graduate high school. Now I am 22, soon to be 23, about to graduate college with two degrees. Life seemed to be a bit kinder and easier five years ago than it is now. I never pictured myself at 23 being like this. I love where I

Well I had about 3/4 of a damned blog done when Microsoft started acting like a bitch and shut it down. I need to write some papers. I am not going to write the blog again. It was kind of whiny anyway....so here is an outline, plus pictures....1. I graduate in less than a month and don't have all my shit done (yikes)2. I have no motivation3. I have a job...finally.

Not to be so pessimistic but sometimes I get frustrated with the situation of things. Sometimes I just want to sit in a corner, alone and in the dark, to get away. I get tired of the same old, same old...and sometimes, as much as I try not to notice, I see the same trends in people that I always saw. I try to be optimistic. I really do. I don't know...I just get so frustrated. I think I am really

Damn blogger makes it so hard to post pics so here are some more...just in another post. These are pics of the kitchen, dining room, living room, and office. None of the bedrooms yet because without furniture you can't really tell much about them.

As promised...pictures of life since January. The pictures include the house when it was snowing a couple of weeks ago (although it wasn't the big snow we had), and the house lit by candlelight on Valentines day(notice the curtains, light fixture and wall color in the dining room!), and Toby hanging out in the new dryer. There will be more on the way as soon as I get the rest from Danny's camera

Today has been so much better. I woke up at a decent hour, around 9 and the sun was shining through the curtains as opposed to around 10 or 11 when the room is pitch black and depressing. It was nice. I went directly to the gym and worked out, something that I have been planning to do for a while in hopes of reducing my stress level and increasing my attention span and productivity. So far, so

I have got to start writing again. I always get really busy and then leave out the time for myself. I get such relief from writing and I feel like I need that again. The move to Amarillo and the switch to grad school, while it hasn't been bad, has gotten me so creeped out. I am in lock down mode where I am not getting anything done at all. I don't know what in hell is wrong with me. All my work

Its been a weird last couple of days. I have had a hard time getting to sleep the past few nights. It seems like every detail is important now...everything must be considered. I knew that this time would come...the leaves would fall from the trees and a northern wind would bring in the cold....and also change. I feel as if everything has changed in my life at the same pace of the sun or the moon.

Well, the weekend in Amarillo was hell but we got it done. Two credit cards and about 4,000 dollars later, we had bought a refridgerator, stove, dishwasher, dryer, washer, and garbage disposal. All the design schemes for each of the rooms are planned, as we are designers that was naturally the first thing we did. The house is going to be super awesome when we get done with it. I think that it

I hate it when I do this...I start going over small details and things that need to be done and before I know it these small things have formed an invisible suffocating noose around my neck. This move and graduate school application makes my blood pressure rise beyond what it should. It freaks me out. I applied to grad school a month ago and STILL, my transcripts aren't in.

I went to my old high schools homecoming football game tonight. It was so strange to be back there and to see faces that I knew. Some I recognized but couldn't name and some I still remembered. All of the stereotypes were still the same but instead of seeing them from a 17 year old view point, I saw them as an adult. I was amazed at how everything could be so different and still somehow stay the

So many of us were so far away from NYC on that tragic day five years ago. Even though I was a thousand miles away, I still cry today when I see the footage just as I did as a wide-eyed innocent 17 year old high school senior.

I had a bit of blogger burnout and then when it started to lift, school started and royally bitch slapped me. I have had so much school stuff going on that I can't sleep at night.

Well, I went and borrowed a chemistry book from a professor here (it is damn awesome when one of your parents works at a college) and since 4 today I have gone through 2 chapters. I called the evil people at Texas Tech and found out that I have to take my CLEP test on Monday....so this means that I have 5 days and 23 chemistry chapters to cover. If I do about 5 chapters a day then I can do it. So

Yes, kids it is Friday, thank goodness. I went to our favorite local chinese food place today and met up with Kourtney and her sister and niece and nephew. It was good food, conversation, and lots of laughs. I thouroughly enjoy our Friday lunch meetings. Ok, without further adue, here is my fortune:"Don't underestimate yourself. Your social skills are needed by others at this time (in bed)."Grrr.

Before you read this post, you can't laugh at me, well ya I guess you could but....you shouldn't. Today a girl came into the lab talking about getting her own e-mail so that she could meet guys on a personals place (she was completely internet illiterate)....Later I was bored as all hell and decided to see just what was all the hub-bub about on personals sites.Ok, so I am at work and bored out of

Don't you hate it when you are expecting someone to call you and they don't. Damn I hate it....I just keep staring at the phone mentally willing it to ring. Inevitably, it is always men who promise to call...all men do it--boyfriends, guy friends, best friends, brothers, fathers, uncles--it is like it is ingrained into their minds or genetics to forget to call...damn my cell phone, I half wish

Ok, so I have fallen a little behind in my blogging (so shoot me....everyone has lately--most of my regular reads haven't posted since last week) and need to post some updates...Project Runway:Wowza....I can't believe this episode--I mean at first I was like, are you kidding me, with the whole dog inspiration thing but at the end most everyones work turned out really creative. *for those of you

Don't you hate it when you have a guest for the weekend come into town and after they leave you are all mopey and have to go back to your crappy life? Or when you become so engrossed in a book that when you are done reading it you are disappointed that the characters aren't real because you had begun to identify with them and you know that if they were real you would be spectacular friends with

Ya, so I had a pretty bitchin' post up here a few hours ago but decided to remove it. I am not all about getting in peoples faces when facts, information, and data are there instead. Sometimes, even through logic, reason, and knowledge, you just can't show people to the truth....that is why so many people in the world assume americans are dumb--because there are the select few that open their

Ok, so I am driving home last night (from Amarillo) when my cell phone goes off indicating I have a text message, also while I happen to be on the phone with Kourtney. Anyhow, I go to look at my phone and the text message is from none other than JAKE (refer to June posts beginning with Reflections in an Early Light for background)!! I am like holy crap, what to do? But I decide to blow it off for

A view looking up in Bryce National Park, UtahDo you ever get those old "teenage" notions sometimes to go out on a Friday night, like it used to be? I remembered tonight how it used to be sooo vital to in my little teenage mind to go out on a Friday night and now I am usually at home, doing my same old typical routine--tv or reading a book, a cup of tea, and my usual phone rituals with the

Ya, so I bet you thought I forgot about good ol' fortune cookie friday today but I, in fact, did not. Today Kourtney and I went to our favorite chinese food place in the world and ate lunch. Kung Pao Shrimp really hit the spot, let me tell ya. We also happened to run into the parents of my high school friend Laura. I had a nice little chat with them and then I went to sit down and eat. Later on,

A picture of a pine tree in Taroko National Park in TaiwanI've been thinking a lot lately and looking at my life--the past, present, and especially the future. I remember a time in my life when I believed that there were signs and signals in the world guiding my path and giving me clues in life. After a while, when life seemed to get harder than I could handle, I thought those signs

Ok, so I haven't posted my brain-child fortune cookie friday (whats FCF?--look for the May 5th post for info) in like a month and a half. So shoot me. You all should know by now that I am super shitty at keeping blogger promises. Sorry for ya. Anyway, this post is for Kourtney, in all her commanding pms bliss---she demanded I post a FCF today. Therefore, it is dedicated to her. Anywhoo...We went

I fucking swear this job gets worse with every continuing second. What is the current annoyance you ask: college-aged students talking in a different language and laughing in an exaggerated manner while flailing their dumbass arms and making a scene. WTF? Hello.

God.I.am.so.freaking.bored.Work is so dull right now...no one is even in the computer lab. I have been alone for almost an hour...I tried playing computer games, checked up on all my blogs I read, updated my netflix and still I am bored. There is not too much to do right now. I might read my book, actually, I probably will read my book--A Wrinkle In Time--I read it as a 3rd grader and it was my

Ok, if you have kids and relatively like them I suggest that you do not read this blog. Sorry, but at least I am warning you. I decided that this is my blog and if I want to rant and rave about something that pisses me off but might offend others I am going to do it anyway. You don't have to read it, like it, or respect it but dammit this is my blog. As a forewarning there will also be absolutely

If today continues on its current path, someone is going to have to shoot me dead in my tracks, so help me God. I am cooking up a pretty good blog in my head but I am going to post it later from work, when some predictable ninny comes in that is making too much noise and I can't concentrate and in turn have to blog about it (I have to do homework anyway). I know I said I would blog yesterday but

Ok. So I am at work and trying to read my American Foreign Relations chapter on Nixon when I get some people in the lab that won't shut the hell up...damn. Now I can't focus so I thought I would blog...they are flirting w/ each other...I just want to scream at them. People can be so incredibly stupid. Two of these girls are on the myspace cult website. I don't understand some of these people.

Hopefully it will snap out it soon. Somedays I truly hate computers.So anyway, since I have spare time, I thought I would do a little blog while I am at work.

A view of Sun Moon Lake in TaiwanEveryone has ghosts from the past in their lives. They sneak around corners when you aren't looking, jump out of closets, and sometimes they are simply lurking a step behind you, wherever you may go.

I had to fight last night to finally get to sleep and it was after 1 when I did. Then, I woke up this morning at around 6, which is surpising considering how tired I have been in the last few days.
