Unhappy toes



Oh, man. Turning over a new leaf and starting this fellowship is going to be harder than I thought!

Everyone I've met so far has been nothing but nice, but they have also said things like, "You need to find time to have at least SOMEthing for lunch, because you will end up staying until 9pm, and that's not good," and "I had an extra apartment here, so I wouldn't have to drive home when I was on call." I find myself feeling like a slacker by wanting to get out at a reasonable hour.

My co-fellows are nice too, but intense!

And I have been spending my days cruising up and down people's intestines. It's like playing one of those driving video games: left right, up down, curve... always chasing the lumen. But I've been on my feet all day, and because I'm so tense trying to drive the scope when I get to, my poor feet are bearing all the brunt of my stress. Poor toes, they're longing for that warm sand from a few days ago. The best I can do right now is the rug...

Aww! That sounds so intense. I think you need to start treating yourself to a regular pedicure (well, whenever you can find the time for it) or get a foot-massager thingy hehe.

But still, at least everyone is being nice! And you're ready to go out and do amazing things so hopefully you'll find a good balance with time... :)

Little girls grow up

This weekend, my BFF finally made an honest man out of her BF. Two weeks ago, she was here for final preparations, and it happened to come out that I tend to cry at weddings. This simple fact caused so much uproar and incredulity, that I was partially offended: why is it so surprising? Is it because I'm such a heartless bi-atch that I am dead inside and nothing gets to me? To show all the people out there who believe that I have no soul, I dedicate this entire post to the wedding. Here we have the beautiful bride-to-be in her gorgeous hotel suite (bigger than her actual living quarters), sporting bridal bunny ears provided by the mother-in-law to be. We had a small gathering of 2 mother hens, 2 regular hens, some little chickens, and 1 gay guy in the hotel the night before - champagne flowed and dirty jokes were made. Right after, I spent the night in bed with the bride, and we spasmed together all night long. Actually, I spasmed - apparently, I have seizures in my sleep - hence, t...

Belated outrage

http://crooksandliars.com/logan-murphy/ohio-republican-re-introduces-bill-gi So, a pro life Republican lawmaker wants to re-introduce a bill which would make abortion impossible unless written permission slips from both parents are signed. There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. I think I'll start with the point of view of a pro-choice woman. I am not a feminist, not really, not in the classic sense of the word. However, by this age, I can recognize when rights are being granted and then taken away. So, by telling a woman that yes, she has the right to choose - but only if a man agrees, and signs a paper - is patronizing, offensive and incongruent. Plus, I'd like to point out the blind assumption that every woman who is pregnant out there has a man whose permission she has the chance to obtain; this implies horrendous stigma, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even talking about special cases, like rape or incest, although it's wor...
