So Roadlesstaken and I came to the conclusion that it's about time for another Xanga Meet for the DC Metro area. We're looking at January 10, 2010 as a possible date to have the meet. We're thinking of either meeting in the city or somewhere else metro accessible for travel ease.

And as always, anyone that isn't from the area is certainly welcome to come! We'll adopt you as honorary DC-ers

So who's up for another meet?

(Oh, and if I tagged you, it's either because you are a DC-er or you attended another meet-up. Sorry if I missed anyone!)

(*Ahem*, I'm timestamping this so that more people can see. My apologies; I know how grating timestamping can be.)

A plague has been going around Xanga and due to milubbles, I've finally been sickened (er... tagged). So here it goes, my 25 random things. I'm not tagging anyone but feel free to play.

1. The Architect and I always seem to sit by the strangest people in restaurants. Sometimes I really do think that the weirdos flock to us.

2. I love that it's cold enough to drink hot drinks all the time now.


3. One of my cats is named after this movie.

My Neighbor Totoro the movie and Totoro the cat.

4. I really like having mood music. Today was rainy and it called for playing Third Eye Blind's Ursa Major and many playings of the Foo Fighters acoustic version of Everlong.

5. I've had pancakes for dinner twice this week (it's been a horrendously busy week; pancakes are easy).

6. I still miss having this profile picture:


7. I love to travel but this is still my favorite place in the world.


8. I love fall, winter, and spring way more than summer.

9. My favorite color is blue.

10. If you had told me before college what I'm doing now, I wouldn't have believed you.

11. The Architect and I watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy almost every night. Mostly because that's what's on.

12. I love anyone that will make me cookies.


13. I'm so exhausted and busy that thinking about being able to sit back and write a paper for school sounds really fantastic.

14. I drink a cup of tea almost every night.

15. I also take a bubble bath most nights during the week during fall and winter.

16. I can't wait to move out of our apartment.

17. Celebrity gossip is kind of my guilty pleasure.

18. I'm marrying this guy.


19. I read 2-3 books on average (this is separate from the books I read for school).

20. This is called a tawny frogmouth. 


21. My sister sent me a ridiculous text message of her meowing Carol of the Bells tonight and I can't stop laughing about it.

22. I don't really like turkey (it's Thanksgiving sacrilege).

23. It's very difficult to write 25 things about oneself.

24. Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite President.


25. This was a long list.

Here's some more of the pictures that Abby took.




I love the color of this door back behind us!






I love how red my hair looks here!
