The other day my friend was making fun of me for being boring since I settled down with The Klapper and tried to just focus on getting out of Hanover.
So to her I will say that Friday night I went to a party with a bunch of super fun, but random people, and ended up dancing around in a little black thong and the tiniest push-up bra I happened to be wearing.
Do I have the body to be showing off such goods in public right now? ABSOLUTELY NOT! But am I still hip? You better believe it :)
*Author's Note: I think hip means stupid....and making bad choices. Right?

A year later....
Oh hello blog audience. So I got home late tonight, wasn't ready to go to bed, and was reminded that I do in fact have a blog. And I've been thinking lately that I might enjoy blogging again as a lot in my life is going to be changing soon..so let's give this another shot.
Some highlights for those of you following at home:
1. I went to Asia! This past August I had an amazing 2 week trip through Thailand and Vietnam. It was amazing, I look forward to going back to Vietnam in the future (less so Thailand), and aside from the flight home representing the 3rd worst 48 hour period in my life, the trip was purely magical.
2. Oh who did I go with? The Klapper! We are still going strong (despite doing long distance), very much in love after 2 years (far more in love now than say..ever before), and I like to think we are both each others biggest supporters. Go love!
3. I might actually finish this crazy Ph.D. thing. My concerns 1.5 years ago that my adviser would end up leaving when she came up for tenure was spot-on, so I am super happy that I planned ahead to make a 4 year exit possible. Not EASY, but possible. And at some point along the way I maybe even started feeling like I have the hang of this neuroscience thing..or at least, I understand that everything I am doing is wrong, but I at least understand what I am doing. (Note: I am still in full panic mode re: dissertation, but I am told that is normal).
4. So where am I going? Oh..I don't know..only the GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD. This bitch is NYC bound and super excited about a post-doctoral position at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I will be using neuroimaging to investigate why children are depressed and how we can make it better, as well as issues related to OCD and Tourette's Syndrome. Exciting! Like..seriously..exciting. It was the only job I applied for because I knew it was perfect the moment I saw it, and I'm so surprised (and anxious) that something seemed to work out for once.
It is for these reasons that I think I might actually have something to blog about over the next few years. I think I will manage to find lots of strange and novel experiences living in Manhattan, EVEN with a boyfriend, and I can't wait to reconnect with the friends I have there.
But I will say there is a part of me that is sad that I won't be returning to D.C. That city still holds my heart, and there are so many people there that I love (though thankfully, no longer Mr. Big..I mean..I will always love him blah blah but I'm not IN Love stomach torn into knots about him anymore). But on the plus side, I expect a lot of cheap shitty bus trips to D.C. to see the new homes, puppies and babies that will soon be associated with everyone there.
So with a renewed bounce in my step, I reassert my silly and grammatically poor opinions upon the interwebs.
