ISO roommate: Jamaica Plain, Boston

Sat, 29 Jun 2013 04:56:13 GMT

My sister is moving out by September 1, so there's a bedroom in my apartment in Jamaica Plain becoming available. Depending on Ellie's situation, your move-in date may be a bit flexible if you like. Due to my asthma/allergies, I require a non-smoking roommate.

The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center is holding a training session on June 4th for its Survivor Speakers Bureau.

I should apply; I want to do that. I am afraid to apply; what if I can't?

Grad school ahoy!

(Assuming, of course, that I get in. I mean, I am sure that I will! But I will also be worried about it until I actually do.)

Application to Simmons is basically done. I am letting my statement of purpose rest for a few hours. I'll read it over some time tonight, upload it, and send everything in.

My parents are going to keep supporting me through grad school, which I am enormously grateful for. Bestest parents ever!

On the subject of something that is not school-related at ALL: I have a friend who is looking for one ticket to the Boston MCR show. PM me with leads pls???

New layout on sofiaviolet. I took the Light on Dark theme for Funky Circles and made it really fucking purple.

Today's Groupon for Boston applies to classes at Bead + Fiber in the South End. Since there's totally stuff I haven't been able to figure out on my own at all.

As Ellie and I are leaving for Northampton in less than an hour (we hope), I will catch up on the interwebs later. I may or may not spend the day spamming the crap out of Twitter, and there may or may not be pictures when I get home.

oh make me over

In my enthusiasm for this whole enterprise, I'll be continuing the daily link roundups. I never thought I'd be that kind of blogger, but I seem to have developed the habit, even before I was doing a specific kind of link-gathering. But while link-collecting is a useful service, I also want to be making other posts, especially in the context of three_weeks_for_dw.

One thing I'd like to do is provide a new song every day!

Daily Song (right-click): Hole - Celebrity Skin
Within the first week this song was on my ipod, it went straight to the top of the most-played list. It remains in the number one spot, with almost three times as many plays as the next song down.

blnchflr has asked me to write about unreliable narrators, although this will take a few days. (I shake my fist at the end of the semester.) I am still accepting prompts, questions, et cetera, via comment/pm/email/carrier pigeon.

View Poll: Some ideas I already have...

yvi and commenters are pondering ways for users to support Dreamwidth financially and encourage developers to work on specific bugs, at the same time.

I saw Dr. Feelgood last night, and it was awesome. Boston-area people should come! $15, Cambridge YMCA in Central Square. Doors at 7:30 and show at 8:00.
