clearly, i've kinda fallen off the face of the earth. but it's for a good reason. not drama, not lack of internet, but good old fashioned other things to do :) i've finally made it out to seattle, as i've been longing to for years. today, in fact, is my 8 month anniversary of moving here. i love it. i like my job (adult education, working with vets and dislocated workers). i like my friends (there are some crazy people here). i like where i live (ballard, why are you so cute?). i like who i live with (sister, you're such a neat-freak and a good cook). i like what i do (exploring, reading, picking blackberries). the only downside is the hopefu
