Because, ho boy, I have a big one. I seriously considered doing a go fund me or a fund my travel crowdsource to be able to participate in the study abroad opportunity coming up this semester. It is to Puerto Rico and we'd be doing field research and analyzing data at the world's largest radio telescope. We'd get a chance to have our findings published, as well. Except, that would be trashy to do. Crowdsourcing isn't for funding silly shit like that.
When Sotomayor was nominated to the Supreme Court I had a friend who worked on the hill. She crafted a memo to tell staff people to tell them to stop talking about her foreign born parents.
Yeah, weren't you the one asking me about living abroad previously? I wondered what had ever happened with that.
I fantasize about creating go fund me pages all the time.
Yeah, I was. It would be very beneficial to my degree. I still plan on going somewhere at some point, but this particular faculty lead research trip would be super neat to be apart of. Plus, getting published would be very cool.
FWIW my study abroad office runs a program to PR (not this one). It isn't part of the official 50 states so for reporting purposes (e.g. IIE Open Doors) it counts.

A new family moved on our street with a boy 1 year younger than J. My H was talking with the Mom and said how nice the family seems and that we seem to have things in common with them.
My flameful is that I don't want to have to be nice or friendly to anyone. New people are especially stressful to me.
If anyone knows the show King of Queens pretty well I feel like I might need to pull a Doug and show them my stomach to scare them away.
My flameful: I slept til noon, did absolutely no work all day long then made H bring me dinner because I didn't want to cook. Now he's cleaning the kitchen while I do nothing.

My flameful: I can't wait for our house reno to be done. Our neighbors next door smoke weed and it reaks like skunk. I'm sorry but I don't care what kind of high it gives you, why the hell would you want to go around smelling like a damn skunk? I could get a contact buzz it's that strong.

Mine isn't really a flameful but I just need to bitch: Just returned from the pharmacy to fill my narcotic pain pill script. (Which has to be Mailed!! Thx narco abusers!!!) Pharmacist takes it, looks @ it, & says, 'Uhhh... This isn't signed. We can't fill this. Sorry.' WTMF Doc?!?!!!?! That's your Job!!!! Miniroller= Not Pleased Talked to the after hours dude, who I felt like was reading his response apology to me. I'm giving them till 9:03 till I start shakin that office UP.
This is a bad idea the more i think about it...but I am guilty of still laughing.
On Friday we went on a booze cruise as a team building exercise.
Slightly (read quite a bit) drunk we all made our way back to the office to get our stuff. There was probably 20 of us on the elevator...one girl was getting off and taking FOREVER...one of our male collegues shouts out "hurry up and get odd before I go Ray Rice on your ass"
My flameful-- Since I'm on light duty at work, I'm not getting my usual $6-9 shift differential pay. My mom is giving me the difference until I deliver baby M.
H and I make good money and probably could make it work without her help, but my parents have a lot of money, so I'm okay with letting her.
My flameful is that we have a remote speaker in class so every time he lags or disconnects I read this while I wait for him to come through again. I have 3 classes left until graduation and I'm so over grad school.
I suddenly feel like all things considered I'm not being a bad person.
