I've been learning Arabic for a few years ^_^

Just out of curiosity, are you learning MSA, a dialect, or both?

I tried learning MSA once, then realised it was the world's LEAST USEFUL LANGUAGE bcs even when you speak to ppl in MSA they tend to respond in dialect... so I'm learning Levantine atm (Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon)

my long-term life plan is: hang out with the baby Jonas

Sami, KT and I hugged in the middle of the crowd during "Anxious and Worrying" and that may have been the highlight of the weekend for me. I didn't meet as many boardies as I was hoping to, though.

hahah, saaaaaaaaames. it was a Special Moment

OOH!!!!

Callmewont, Pennsylvania.

"Welcome to Callmewont.
Quit bring the shit."

hard to beat

I think all these ideas are great, but I think the "talk about it ASAP" one is super-key for me. these conversations are really hard to have if you're already in different places!

kt = qt



short hair!

everyone considering hanging out w/ Whitney should do it. they = best.

++ pixfest and hanging with people I rarely get to see
- still not great at talking to strangers, even if those strangers are kids. stupid brain.

+ I'm buying a house, on which I close next week! It is "the one" my partner and I fell in love with instantly. I'm psyched.
+ I'm getting married in a few months.
+ It's summer! However, I am still taking gifted endorsement classes for my job and coaching high school baseball, but still...summer. I'll even have a month after I move to get settled.

- At a time when most people would say my life is coming together quite nicely (and it is, I do not argue), my anxiety and depression has sort of hopped back onto the dance floor and made their presence known again. I've gone to doctors, I've gotten medication, and usually the medication makes me feel infinitely worse (nausea, headaches, etc.).
- The most stressful thing about this whole yuppie lifestyle is the fear that with this kind of stability comes the knowledge that I will be trapped in my current career. I hate it and I want out but I don't know what else I'm qualified to do. Year One was the worst experience of my life and everyone said "It's that way for everyone." So I changed schools and tried again. Ditto for year two. Everyone has said "You're still finding your bearings. Give it another go." I am under contract through next year and I'm willing to give it a shot, but I don't think I can teach twenty more years.

congrats!

I got to meet Tim!

I've been learning Arabic for a few years ^_^

my main awkwardness is finding it hard to prioritise (time-wise) seeing my ex, which I think upsets her - but I'm not sure what people expect when they explicitly break up with you and wanna spend less time with you...

...but big time gap definitely helps! and not trying to force anything. those two combined.

is there any significance to your name changing to "momitsNOWme" or is that a typo

they had a kid! whatta way to find out.

i did my hair yesterday and felt pretty cute. lookin' a lot different than when i first started the boards  :-* :-*

OH MY WOW ALEXIS THAT IS AMAZING

I look less exciting than Alexis. and more sideways.

I disapprove of the gender options :X

http://www.twitter.com/setalyas - I am VERY INTERESTING

Ooh, me, me!

Alex?? ^_^

the only acceptable alternative would've been "bobbymoose"
