I was on my way to a Camp meeting, just entering the 101-S onramp, when I saw a couple of hitchhikers with a sign labeled with my destination. I twisted the wheel and eased onto the brakes and pulled over before I had time to second-guess myself. The two guys and their dog walked over and climbed in. I nervously introduced myself, asked their names. The one who took the front seat was Rain, tall,...

Fanfiction. Discuss.

Has it always been this prevalent? It’s come up in an English class, in a discussion with a professor/friend yesterday, and today, when one of my housemates and I were trying to get to know each other by asking/telling one another exciting things about ourselves… I said that I had just recently had a story published. She responded, “Published like… fanfiction?” I was...

Dr. Wren says, Fight That Summer Cold!

I’ve been ill, which is especially lame because it’s the middle of summer and being bedridden isn’t the greatest. Here’s my list of home remedies which may or may not work, but that I’m trying anyway. 1. Eat local honey, suggested by storiesitelltoooften. I actually couldn’t find any local honey—I was probably looking in the wrong place, because...

Stories I Tell Too Often.: Cuantos Hombres Tuvi. →

storiesitelltoooften: My Girl Scout troop, in our later years, consisted only of girls exactly my age and grade level, except for a set of sisters. H was one year older than us and K was one year younger. When the majority of us were in Spanish 1, we pidgin-spoke Spanish with each other constantly. H (who was in… I love this story because it moved beyond your girl scout troop and into our...

Help my friend find a home!

My friend ohhabsolutely needs a room to rent from August through December so that she can finish up her final semester at university before she leaves to study abroad. She is kind, funny, brilliant, open-minded, tidy, a great conversationalist, and a wonderful roommate—I should know, as I shared a teeny weeny dorm room with her for a year. If you or anyone you know in Arcata needs a...

loveisfluid: Just so you know, your body is great. It does a wonderful job of keeping your soul in place and sweating to cool you down when you’re hot, crying when your sadness is too much for your mind to bear, closing its eyes when it is tired from a day of living and continuing to allow you to breath, smile, love, laugh, yell, sing, or whatever it is you do all day long. “There is no such...

Beautiful Cervix Project →

loveisfluid: mooncuphugs: This 25 year old nurse photographed her cervix daily for 25 days to show the way it changes at different times in a woman’s cycle. It is really fascinating. Warning: this is a graphic internal look at the vagina/cervix. Really interesting. This is the coolest thing ever. I remember the first time an OB-GYN held out a hand mirror and and asked if I wanted to see my...

Um. I think I managed to injure my big toe somehow. It’s been sore for a couple weeks now and I realized tonight that the pain is accompanied by disconcerting clicking noises. :[ The student health center is closed for another month, so… c’est la vie?

My summer manager… agh. He forgot that I was working from 8-12 today despite the fact that it’s been on the schedule he made all week, and despite having spoken yesterday about the fact that I was coming into work today. Whatever. So instead of, y’know, checking the schedule, he called in another employee to take over the shift and then was confused both when I called to say...
