Flying a kite

So I seem to have drugs on my mind and I've made a couple big/hilarious mistakes somewhat recently that should be noted so y'all don't follow suit.

The first scenario was not to dangerous. Evelyn from the TRK lab was interested in the sensory test going on downstairs on grapes. When asked what kind of grapes you had to taste I replied mescaline. oops. The correct answer was muscadine.

The second more significant mistake was when I was talking to a man who I had previously interviewed with. Now, I hadn't gotten the job because I wasn't a protein chemist, however, the interview went well and he was hoping I would apply for something a little closer to my field the next time around. I happen to run into him at a meeting so I introduced myself since we only knew each other from the telephone. So as we are talking away about Twin Falls, ID (where the job was located) I mention that this is one of the only places in the world you can go free basing legally. Right? Wrong. You most definitely cannot go free basing legally, however, you are allowed to go base jumping. Hopefully, he didn't pick up on it.

Now, I'm not quite sure why this happens. I've had precisely 3 drug tests (two being hair tests) in the last few years (for jobs) and I've passed with psychedelic colors each time (and by passed I mean failed? either way, I don't/won't do drugs).

BS BS

Boy story BS!!

I went to First Friday earlier this month and encountered another BS boy story. It comes to mind because tonight is the last episode of the Pick Up Artist and my original pick is in the final two (although, I kinda think Simeon is going to win). Anywho, this skater unit commented on two girls riding Huffy's down the street which he thought was not impressive. Agreeing I noted that my commuter was/is much cooler. When asked what I ride around I pointed two feet away to my Rossin and described my componentry. This somehow blew his MF'n mind. He asked a few more questions regarding my whip and then said "I think I'm slowly falling in love". Really? Are ya now? You don't know jack except that I know what Super wReckord is. It wouldn't have been so bad except that he left for a moment and came back two more times begging for attention and to tell me how nice it was to meet me shaking my hand with both of his. My RTB BF Andy came by and not that hes an actual BF but I showed much more interest in seeing him than this new boy toy. When he finally left, this boy in love called me Katherine.

And what a happy ending

So Thursday and Friday I was in St. Louis:




Followed by a pants off dance off:
Met Mr. Ross

And came to really comprehend Aaron's shrinkage from when he was a hockey player when placed next to Mr. Matt "You wish you had my facial hair" Rothwell (photo edits courtesy of Mr. Kick Ass)


Went in for my last day in 341 Schaub with a stop at Jasmine:


And I went out with a bang at the Saucer with some of my fan club:








Then I headed back with Aaron to Massachusetts. Here is a shot from the drive where we were almost out of the south:

Burning out

Or igniting the flame? I've had a whorl wind of an ending here in NC and I'm starting to get pretty tired, however, I know my excitement is far from over.

This weekend I:

A) Made it back from St. Louis after seeing the kick A archway.

B) Went to a pants of dance off where the bike team made more than just an appearance.

C) Packed my car, cleaned out my house and said some goodbyes to some awesome people.

D) Watched Mystery choose my pick for the finals in the pick up artist.

E) Today (well, since my departure qualifies as a national holiday, and therefore makes this a 4 day weekend, we will also include Monday) I turned in what will hopefully be my final thesis. YES!

6) Although the list consists of things I completed, I would like to note that I will be going to the Saucer tonight for a farewell and thanks but no thanks goodbye party, which I plan to be a historical event.



PS. I saw this mother on the bike path last weekend.

NC <48 hrs left!!

When the Gun Show first relocated to slightly above par Raleigh, we couldn't wait to see the day where we would turn our backs and head out with out a glance towards what we were leaving behind. Now after 2 years and 3 months (minus 3 months in Minneapolis) we must say we're sad to say goodbye see ya later.
