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.
