Neither Wind, Nor Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Snow....

I hate it when the power goes out. But, even more than that, I hate when I still need to go to work when the powers out. Here's the plus:

The power is on at work (obviously, I am writing to you right now).
I can flush the toilet here.

Minus: I had to come in sans shower- and while that is a state that most people today are accepting, I am still not really cool with it- especially with that cute new guy who works a few desks over. Not my idea of fun.

And, while my work follows the strict rules of the postal worker's code, PSNH seems to have forgotten it entirely. And I KNOW that over 200,000 people are without power- but couldn't they put my little town a little higher on the list? That would be awesome folks.

So here's for a weekend with no power- I think I am going to roast a chicken in our gas oven to help keep the apartment warm.

"I feel like we're on a hobbit quest now."

Yes, Sarah JUST said that. Just now. About blogging. I am NOT JOKING.

The Heroes are Lost in the O.C.- A Roswellian Experience- Veronica Mars Sent to Investigate alongside House M.D.- PSYCH!

As my roommate and I sit here and watch television, I must comment on how much TV we (or I should say I) really watch. Here's the short list of favorites:

Bones

House, M.D.

LOST

The O.C.

Psych

Roswell

Veronica Mars

Dollhouse

Fringe

And the list goes on as I add more vague favorites. Add into that all the shows that my roomie likes to watch, and that's a lot of TV. All I can say is it would be much worse if we had cable.

So, to express my adoration of these shows (and to express one of my first ideas as to what we should have called this blog- but I can't be mad, Proverbial Gauntlet was totally my idea, too!) I decided to create a post with as many TV show titles in the name as possible. I'm pretty impressed with being able to get seven TV show names in one sentence- and it mostly makes sense!

And, in a race against time (Abby totally started her post first) I will end there so I can be the FIRST to post! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! (queue evil laugh and creepy music). :-P

Cold Tomatoes

SO, I thought I was going to write the first post. Looks like my roommate (who needs to go back to her home on Whore Island) beat me to it!

The current state of my life:
- watching Lost Season 1
- doing laundry
- general lazing in the living room of the spacious apartment I share with my fabulous roommate

My roomie, who shall henceforth be known as Sarah (because that's her name...), is also enjoying our delightful living room and comfortable furniture and Lost.

Our lives, as I'm sure you can tell, are wildly fascinating and thrilling at every turn.

So, here's the run down:

I graduated from college in May of 2009 with a BA in English. I then took a job at my old college and currently work in the library there. I am planning to attend graduate school for Library Science (concentration in Archives and Records Management) in the Fall of 2010. I took a year off (sort of by accident...), and I'm glad that I did. I've had time to really assess my goals and motivations and come to some conclusions about where I'm heading in life (I hope you're in the mood for cheese). I lived on-campus over the summer (peculiar, yes, since I'd already graduated), then moved in with a friend and her husband for 3 months while I looked for an apartment (first with one potential roommate, then by myself, then with my current amazing roomie). Now, we live in a fabulous apartment and have dance parties when intoxicated.

My mom just called and told me about Chatroulette... which I am going to try RIGHT NOW (or, at least, as soon as I'm done bloggolating). I am fascinated by it and feel the need to, um, never sleep again so that I may spend as many hours as possible participating. I hope I see someone I know and we wave awkwardly. The end of the conversation with my mother:

"Hey, Abby... I just got to tell you about something online." (pause)

I burst out laughing, realizing what she's getting at.

"I'm really proud of myself," she says.

"I'm really proud of you, too, Mom," I say. And I mean it. This is a milestone in our relationship if ever there was one.

Last, but not least, in this first installment of the list of things you should know about me:

- I have recently developed an absurd crush on Evan Lysacek after watching his free skate.
