So, haven't been posting in a while. Lets see, so I had a metrorail "stalker" guy, whoI went out with a couple times, but that didn't really go anywhere because he's like 9 years older than me (a tad freaky if i do say so myself) and all he was interested in was sex. I'm sorry, but if you just want sex, then you get a hooker. Not to mention, he's really not my type.
Then I went out for new years, and there was this really cute guy, and hey, he's actually the same age as me. But I had a bit of a rough night - had to leave early, and he ended up being all over my roommate, Kristina. She told me the next day that she didn't think he was all that good looking, and that she didn't really like him that much. Not to mention she is supposedly kinda seeing this other guy from her school, and she has a crush on her co-worker. Kristina's friend (Lyndsey came down for new years too, and ended up hooking up with the roommate of the guy I think is really good looking (and they happen to be friends with Krsitina's co-worker). So Kristina was going on about how this is typical Lyndsey and that she is interested in any guy that's interested in her. Only Kristina does it too. She's currently going out on a date with the guy her friend hooked up with, some other girl, and the guy she already claims is not that good looking and isn't interested in, only now because he's asking her out on this date she's interested in him. She is like hogging 3 count 'em THREE different good looking guys who are all normal, non-stalkerish, our aged guys, and I can't even get a single date with ONE cute, guy that I like. WTF! What a hypocrite. I am so fucking pissed off.

What am I going to do about my life? I thought I wanted to be a researcher. Then I found out that a lot...no okay......MOST of the successful female researchers....like actual-government-employees-have-their-o wn-lab-write-multimillion-dollar-grants-p ublish-umpteen-million-papers-a-year-suc cessful researchers don't have a family. Hell half of them aren't even MARRIED!! or have a significant romantic relationship. This is NOT what I want. I like research. I think. If I was in a lab I actually liked....or actually cared about the research project in question. Not that I don't like my lab.....it's just not my thing......I like pharmaceuticals. and recreational drugs and how they work. and i like disorders and the genetics behind them. like alzheimers. Or, I thought I liked those things. I thought I could have a career in a cutting edege research lab AND have a family. But that looks impossibly unrealistic. Now that I think about it. That might explain WHY my aunt who works in research is single. I always thought that when I grow up....okay...fine I'm grown up dammit. AFTER i've grown up.....and like at least 6-10 later.....I would have a family. Now that doesn't look so real. And I'm not even really enjoying my job. So what the hell do I do with my life??!
Ideas?? Hugs?? Places to meet hot boys in DC??
*sigh* my future life sounds hopeless. good thing i'm seeing my sister and my old team this weekend.

I hate linux. I wish I had a mac. Why don't I just save up and buy a macbook? My computer was working just fine, then it had to be upgraded....and now I can only watch Bend it like Beckham, Harry Potter and Underworld on my computer.....and I don't have a DVD player to go with my TV. And now, my media player won't even play underworld anymore. In fact, it has crashed my computer 6 times in the last 3 minutes. That has to be a record....for an OS that's not supposed to crash. Did i mention I hate linux??
Oh well, I can't be too mad at my dad (even though he's the one that insisted I use linux) because he switched carriers before my family's plan was up so I could get a new phone (mine is dead) and have better reception. And he got my phone free, and I am getting it tomorrow. Sometimes I guess it pays to have a tech smart dad. Othertimes, I wish I could just make my own technology choices.
AHHHHH! i sound like a freakin' nerd!!!

Oh geeze, so after a whirlwind weekend....er, actually it was the beginning of this week too. I decided I should post something on here about all the giddy excitedness in my life. Hmm where to start....Okay so Saturday I woke up early and bought front row tickets to go see RAW when it comes to DC on the 18th of December. I can't explain how happy that makes me! Then not an hour later I had tix to go see the killers with my cousin up in Philly. Yay! Train rides and concerts with my cousin! And just yesterday I bought my plane ticket to OHIO for not this weekend but the next weekend to go see all my college friends at XC NATIONALS!!! And then there is the awesomeness of visiting my sister at school for the first time too! :)
And my daddy called yesterday to tell me I was getting a new phone to replace my dying trash phone that I have right now. And the phone is free!! YAY daddy! Good job!! :) And my mom is brining my grandparents for a visit....and she will be bringing said phone with her as well. I love my parents. They are the best.
I really don't think I can explain exactly how glee-filled I am. I'm not sure what I missed along the way, but college was definitely not THIS much fun. Can someone remind me WHY I was afraid of life post academia?? PLEASE??
oh, and I randomly found out that monkeys can stick their tongues out. though they don't like it so much when you stick your tongue out back at them.
that is all for now. I probably won't post again til after nationals......maybe by then I'll know how to put pictures in to demonstrate the chaos that is xc
*hugs to all*

My phone is in hopsice care. It has been a long steady decline. It barely works. I can still call, but it really doesn't do anything else. I can't even see what numbers I'm calling, or who's calling me. The stupid displays are gone. Soon it won't ring either I bet. I can't wait until my plan runs out and I can get a new phone!!!

oh god. I love Quenton Cassidy. I love John L. Parker, Jr. even more for writing the best book ever Once A Runner. I started re-reading this book on my way to work every morning. Makes the metro ride less boring. I got inspired, so today I ended my running hiatus and went out for a nice comfortable 30 minute run. I can't begin to describe how good it felt to run again. The running into the wind, the side stitches and cramps, the burning in my legs. Okay, so my legs didn't burn because I ran embarrassingly slow. At least no one knows me in Washington yet. :) The best part was running because I wanted to. Not because I had to. Not for competition, not to make mileage, just because I wanted to. I smiled the whole way. Grinning like an idiot. I'm sure people thought I was a tad insane. And I was even able to go faster than "Glacial", which was just absolutely brilliant. This is going to havae to become a routine thing again though. I missed it sooooooooo much.
Someday (sooner now that I'm running again) I'm going to want to be competitive again. Hopefully by the time indoor season kicks off I'll be able to step on a track and not embarrass myself too much. Or even hop in a 5k and win some prize money. Its a shame really that the NCAA has this rule where you can't take prize money while you're still competing in college. I would have done a lot more road races otherwise. And its even sadder that now I CAN take money and I've gone and gotten myself all out of shape. Moron that I am. Atleast I'm still at my racing weight. And that's something. I just have to get in shape - toning up again. None of this weight loss crap which would require running and eating less that I do now. (I never stopped eating the massive quantities I consumed while in competition). So indoor starts beginning of December. I got a month. Should be interesting. :)

so i decided i wanted to upgrade to a "plus account". I don't see what's so "plus" about it. The ads are messing up my layout, and I haven't the foggiest clue on how to fix it. Or how to use different user pics for different posts. If someone knows how to fix it, and could help me, I would be eternally in your debt. thanks!

I should be going to bed....but OOOOH i just HAVE to write about this. I'm so excited!! There is a 95% chance that I am going to OHIO in a few weeks....to watch D3 X-COUNTRY NATIONALS!!! I can't wait to see all my runner friends again, and to run around scantily clad (for middle of November - reference photo *link below* since I can't actually get the picture to appear in my post) cheering for my girls as they try to win their SECOND national title!! Geneseo's been ranked no. 1 all season long!! Ooooh just thinking about it makes me all giddy inside!! I am so ga! I can't explain how excited I am about this!! Spandex, Spankies, Sportsbras and Body paint!! Running around like idiots screaming 'til your hoarse (and yes, we probably get in almost as much mileage as the girls in the race) over hill and dale. are we stupid? yes. do we care? no. *DIES* oh so happy!
SUNY G BELIEVE!!
okay, thus ends my "happy rant" about Geneseo Cross Country.
oh yea...the promised picture link. Sorry, you'll have to copy past that. LJ hates me.

So have been trying to change the layout of my journal for the past hour, and it hasn't been working well, and at this point, I'm beyond needing to go to bed....so I'm giving up in this limbo state. BLAH on that!! Oh well, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Sometimes I hate that I have to be so awake to survive work, and I think it would be nice to have some mindless job like I used to have in a bakery, but then I remember that this job help me get a better job where I can play with drugs!!! er, develop better prescriptions.

So I should have posted this a while ago.....but I didn't have internet, and I was so excited about having internet yesterday that I forgot....until now.
So I was getting ready for work a couple weeks ago, and I looked out the window and it was raining. Brilliant. I don't have an umbrella. So I'm standing out in the rain at the bus stop with my raincoat on, but my face and pants are still getting soaked. Then this nice lady who's waiting for the bus with her two kids and their two umbrellas looks at me and gives me an extra umbrella to use. And it was a little kiddie Harry Potter umbrella, which entirely made my day!
So that wasn't so exciting now that I've acutally wrote it down, but it was a very high point to an otherwise cold, rain soaked, crabby monkey day.

So I took this job at the NIH, which required me to move down to DC from my lovely upstate NY town. Which is all fine and good. Then there was the problem of how to get all my stuff down here, which my family solved by coming to visit and bringing all my crapola with them. Then there was there was that big ugly word of "utilities". Fortunately I scored a wicked nice apartment. My elevators have marble flooring, that's how nice we're talking here. My rent covers gas, electric, water (hot and cold) and we get cable with our condo fees. SWEET! But there was no internet. How sad. Okay, I can fix that. *calls up cable company* Okay! I have an appointment to get cable internet. Granted I have to take off from work, but no biggie. Until they don't show up!! So.....*calls cable company to complain* Okay, someone is coming the next evening. *leaves work early* no one came. How sad. *calls cable company again to complain* someone coming in two days. I can live with that. NOPE. No one came AGAIN. But they finally came. Four appointments and 15+ hours of work missed later I have internet..... and it's free for 2 months!! Now I'm happy again. I can finally stop watching hour of tv, get my compter upgraded and waste countless of hours reading and discussing HP slash, of which I have been horrifically deprived of for over a month and a half. Sometimes I wonder what I did before there was HP fanfiction and before I found slash and H/D, but somehow I survived. Somehow I survived without contact with others who love slash too. May it never happen again. *shakes fist at cable company*

So I'm wicked bored and I can't sleep. And it's 4:09 AM.....so I decided that since I have this live journal thingy I might as well actually post in it. So this is me posting in my livejournal. Let's see.....I'm bored and wide awake. I should be searching roommates.com for someone to live with since I have to move to MD soon to start my new job at NIH :) but obviously I'm not, instead I'm posting here. I'm pretty excited though because things are finally starting to fall into place (aside from the fact that I'll be homeless in MD in a few short weeks). haha. I don't really know what else to write here. I don't think anyone actually even reads this anyways. I'm gonna stop babbling on now and try to fall asleep.

So i got this live journal thingy, and i don't know why really, i'm probably not going to use it much, i do all my entrys on myspace, since i got that first, thats just me though. i am not even going to bother looking for people i know here, and if you want to know more ask for my myspace link.
um, i'm a runner, i love wwe, and harry potter, and this will probably be my only post on livejournal ever.
