The reason I haven't posted in ages is because I have a social life again. This is not to say that those who do post regularly do NOT have a social life. Rather, these people are probably better at time management than I. As a rubberband that has been pulled too tight, I have been slung in the opposite direction: away from the depths of Thesis Land, isolation, mental exertion, and intensive writing and flung toward gregarious outings, fanciful leisure, recreation, and live music. Dare I say "debauchery?"
The pressure release button has been depressed.
I have rediscovered my beloved city and its attraction of illicit mojitos and chilled stouts drunk on sunny patios; of bike riding through quaint NW, SE, and NE neighborhoods (SW is reserved for work) with destination: live music, friends, and live music; of carefree knitting in coffeeshops that were normally reserved for studying & writing; of spending my weekends eating brunch at my favorite diners and realizing that you don't have to go to work until Monday; and of forming new friendships and solidifying old ones. The latter I hold at the highest regard.
Thus, no posts. Too busy cramming as many memories as possible into the last month of my time in Portland.
Thank you, friends, for helping me with this arduous task.
God, I will miss this city and everyone in it.

Why am I moving to Dublin again?
(Because in 10 years you will regret not taking this opportunity.)

Debauchery!
I don't even think that word can encompass the infamy, kyle, that we have mastered.
Priceless.
Priceless.
Indeed.
I like the geyser (geiser? damn, I used to know how to spell...) picture. I almost thought the post was going to be sexual though. Teehee.
Miss you and love you SO much!
I agree - in ten years, you would say- now, why didn't I do that ??
go girl !
