Well well well. Welcome to my li'l MySpace thang!
It surprises me to write this, but I'm living in a trailer park. YUP. That's right, trailerville on the Wildlife Refuge in South San Francisco Bay. Despite the isolation here, it certainly beats an extra 4 hours of commute driving a day (as if I don't do enough around the Bay as is). I'm doing my grad research in ecology on some marsh birds, which requires me to to be down here most days. So, once again, I find myself in a new area, trying to make a home out of it. Wanna help??????
At my house in Davis (once again, for grad school) I garden a lot as well, and my back yard is a savior for me whenever I get back in town. Even though I don't get to spend as much time in it as I would like, it's an amazing reminder of *me* in the sense of what I have done (it took LOTS of work to get it to where it is today) and to what I look forward to once done with my field time.
When not in the field, I am typically meeting up with friends at dinner parties, movie nights or bars... especially if the potential for a dance night is in the realm of possibilities.
I'm focused on the essentials: good people and relationships, beautiful nature with minimal people, nice comfy home space with a fragrant garden and a bbq. And of course, the close people to share it all with. And I guess I always have my political undertones. Hopefully everyone does.
I dunno. I feel like I'm just kind of doing my thing with school, friends and birds at this particular point in my life. I'm excited for everything going on now, but am also very interested in how that changes once I near the end of my stint at UCD and move back to San Francisco. I'm sure it will all be good stuff.
Ultimately, I am the most fortunate person alive when I think about my friends and family. We can get wrapped up in our specific lives, but we always come back to 'us'. It's very very nice. You know who you are. Mommy loves you!
P.S. Please don't just randomly request the whole 'friend' thing-- a semblance of meaningful interaction is nice before you or I become yet another stat on each other's page... ...Apparently this li'l warning hasn't worked, so I've now added the 'email or last name' screen to requests. If you wanna know... just ask (ie start a conversation!)Cheers!
