Hey Mom!

Hey Mom! So I had a really hard time deciding what to write about this week... mostly because there is fine line between using humour as the lens with which I navigate my life and being inappropriate on the internet. And my original post was about 10 nautical miles over that line. So, here we are, closing in on the imaginary deadline I set for myself. I've spent most of today trying to think of ideas. These are those bad ideas: 1. How it took me 3 hours to do a 6 minute phone repair....  yeah that's pretty much all there is to the story. 2. The TV Doctor I would want to emulate if I ever get into medical school... turns out none of them... they all have terrible personal lives. 3. The pitfalls of using humour as a lens with which to navigate your life... turns out there are none! 4. I keep signing off work emails as "Yours in professionalism," but no one has said anything yet which makes me wonder if anyone reads my work emails. 5. That's really it..

Hey Mom! So I have been without a phone since Christmas Eve. Now I want to say that this has been entirely my choice.

Turns out my phone is more than just a phone, it's also an alarm clock.... so basically I was semi-sleeping in a constant state of terror that my alarm wasn't going to go off... until I found my old ipod which, as it turns out, is also an alarm clock. Some people will only try to call you the moment your phone breaks. I have missed so many free cruises, you have no idea. N ot having a phone impacts others.... like my roommate who now has to find her phone instead of

Hey Mom! So I know my last post was a fairly trollish thing to do during the holiday season but it's back to business here in Twenty Greateen! So I've decided to approach this year with the attitude that there is lots to love (also to annoy my friends with whimsical sayings). Could we end up in the middle of nuclear apocalypse? We sure could! Could the GMOs, white bread and Flamin' Hot Cheetos finally kills us? Definite possibility! Could they make a sequel to Pacific Rim? They could and, in fact, did! BUT (and it's a big but, you cannot lie) despite all these things, I want to find things to love and be excited about. Could it be all the possible spellings of Twenty Greateen/20Gr18/20Gr8een? You bet! Could I get superpowers from the GMOs, white bread and Flamin' Hot Cheetos? Maybe but probably I'll just not be hungry anymore which is Wonder-full (get it? because I'd be full and also Wonder Bread? Oh man, you just can't put a price on this kind of
