The Scratching Post

Name:

I'm the wife of a biology grad student working on figuring out where the heck I'm going in life, somewhere between falling on my ass and a "tada" moment right now...

Look up Brar and B'daydas

In honor of our moving to Boston, and as a reference for those of you who might come out to visit us someday, we have discovered an online glossary of Bostonian terms in their native pronunciation for your entertainment and education titled, "Wicked Good Guide to Boston English":

a party apart

Hello to all of you who have faithfully checked this and have been dissapointed for the past I don't know how long it's been since I updated.
Well, I'm moving to Boston in two weeks. We still don't know where we're gonna live, but we're working on it. I've managed to pack 5 boxes, 3 of which I'm actually bringing with me so far. It's amazing how much crap one can accumulate over the course of 11 years...
In a couple of weekends, I will be traveling to visit some of my college friends. I have been more than invited to go, as shown in what they've posted on their cluster blog:
..."GET YOUR ASSES HERE, and that includes you Cat."... and "Get all of your asses here, and that includes you Cat. GET YOUR SEXY ASS THE FUCK HERE.", then I asked for the address to mapquest it, but said I make no promises, and this was the reply I got: "Cat: (Address edited out) now that you have the info, I expect you here. no backing out on this one." followed up with, "Or you're gonna be voted off the island."
So more or less, It's strongly suggested that I go. I'm excited to get to see that group one last time before we move out. It'll be a good last hurrah. The problem with it is that a group of TJ's old clustermates and associates are coming here to say goodbye that same weekend. I really like those people too, but the cluster people are the ones I've hung out most with in my last year and a half of college, and I don't want to miss out on that last chance to see them. So TJ and I will each celebrate at our respective cluster shindigs and have a good time with no hard feelings from either party (no pun intended).
