In Which I Have a Serious Beef with Animal Planet

One of my favorite things about being a “blogger” (air quotes because, really, I mostly reblog stuff and sometimes post cute pictures of puppies) is how friends of mine use it as a means of keeping up on my life and occasionally email me in response to something I’ve written.

Questions, I got 'em.
So tumblr, something that I haven’t been telling you is that in December, I downloaded the highly acclaimed “Couch to 5k” app on my Droid. And eventually, I actually got up the nerve to.. use it.
Sometimes I don’t feel like I can tell you everything because you’ll judge me for not being able to run a 5k without dying right now. I also can’t speak French; so...

iamemily-deactivated20120101 asked: I worked at Mount Rainier last summer and climbed on it all the time. A lot of people don't make it to the top, which is cool, because then you get to hang out at the coolest place on the mountain. Camp Muir basecamp! The fact is the height doesn't make Rainier a tough climb, it's the glacier travel and the horrible weather that make it so rough. Hopefully though you'll have...

Once, in an unusually reflective moment, I told my sister that I thought I wanted to move because “nothing...
