| 28 Nov 2009 |  Alice Muffin Girl Smith |  Loading...I was trying to remember the word "synesthesia" today, and I couldn’t for the life of me word the search right on Google. And then, my dear, I thought of a certain story I’d read long ago by a certain very creative writer... And sure enough, there it was, in the very description of "The Pianist". Thanks for the save.  MUFFIN!! I am so happy to see you^_^ And I am so glad that helped!How have you been? I’ve been all right. Still in Seattle with Em at present. I have two kittens now^_^ Trying to figure out what to do with myself, mostly, and job hunting. How have you been? Where are you and what are you up to? How’s Timon? | |
| 30 Nov 2009 | Alice Muffin Girl Smith | Loading... I’m actually in Japan right now, of all places--I graduated college last year, and came over as an English teacher with the JET Programme. It’s been pretty cool. Though I am jealous of your kittens. *wants* I still be writin’, as well, of course.  *dusts off Timon* *he sneezes* Nice! What do you think of it? I have mixed feelings from my very limited experience in that country... congrats on getting into JET! Aw... my kittens are pretty cute. Is your e-mail still the same? I could send you pictures if you like... they perhaps you can have kittens vicariously?
Excellent! I’ve finished Death’s Tears and am doing the edit, finally. Quite excited. {{waves at Timon}} ^_^Good luck with the job hunt! I’m not looking forward to that, when I return to the States. I hear the market is rather unforgiving at the moment... *shamrock muffins for luck* This is very true. I wish you luck in advance! I just keep applying... {{appreciates muffins}} ^_^ | |

| 30 Mar 2010 |  Brittany | Loading... Hi Leigh. It has been a very long time but I just wanted to say hi :] I hope you have been well! And as always your writing is beautiful   Leigh *Shwin* Erickson replies: "Which Brittany are you? I have a few in mind and would be happy with any of them^_^ It’s good to see you, though! I have been well. I’m in Seattle now and studying massage of all things, have two cats and am studying two martial arts, tai chi and poekoelan... but yes. Hi!" | |
| 31 Mar 2010 | Brittany | Loading... Haha Brittany Bowman ;] Ooooo Seattle, I have always wanted to make my way over there. I am glad you are well! I am in Michigan studying biochemistry and I have two hermit crabs lol Kitties! What are their names? I just saw ’How to Train Your Dragon’ and one of the dragons is kitty like and it’s so cute  Leigh *Shwin* Erickson replies: "Brittany! My goodness I’ve been wanting to get in touch with you for years. I am so, so very glad you found me here again! How have you been? Where have you been? I’ve missed you and wondering about you, so I have. You’re welcome to come visit Seattle if you like... I’ll be here awhile.
What sort of biochemistry? Is it your Masters? Something higher? I love hermit crabs... haven’t had any in years, though. My kitties are Aiya and Echo. Aiya is a grey tabby and Echo appears black but is really a very dark tabby. I can send pictures of them if you like. I have not seen that, but cat-like dragon makes it in my book^_^" | |
| 2 Apr 2010 | Brittany | Loading... I have been well! Mostly in Rochester, NY and now Ann Arbor, MI.
Good^_^ I’ve always wanted to see Michigan.
I will be starting the PhD program at U of Mich in July. I have been currently working in a lab for the past 8 months. I have been working on an ovarian cancer model.
Very, very nice. Have you your Masters, then? I still have to get my BA^_~ What sort of ovarian cancer model? That cancer hit my family recently so I have some interest in it.
OOO prettiful kitties!! I love their names!! I would love pictures! My email is katabasys@gmail.com My hermit crabs are named after bad guys in the Mario Brother’s games haha. Snifit and Shy Guy. I didn’t come up with them lol
Thank you^_^ I’m pretty fond of them. One of my former co-workers fosters kittens and offered them to me (at a dykes vs. drag queens softball game no less). She showed me pictures and asked me to name them. Aiya was easy but Echo took some pondering. Thanks for the e-mail address... I will send you kitten pictures. My e-mail is still the same as it has been... need to change that at some point... Aw. Who named them if I might ask?
What have you been up to? Seattle is on the opposite side of the US how did you end up there?
Well, school mostly right now. Bits of martial arts as mentioned... right now I’m making bread and kim chi and need to buy apples as I’m going to Vancouver, BC tomorrow for the weekend^_^ I don’t know what you know... since high school timeline: went to Thailand, got AA at JCC, went to Japan with Antioch and shaved my head, Antioch closed so I moved to Seattle as I thought I would finish my BA at Evergreen in Olympia, but then decided I didn’t want to go there and ended up at Cortiva for massage in Seattle instead... I worked at a cupcake bakery for a year but left as I had a temporary bout with food intolerances. Those seem to be lifting and now I’m on spring break and pondering what to do with life. Considering several things... not sure when I’ll go east coast wards again... what about you? | |
