The first to fall asleep at the party

That's right, I'm the lame one. The Jenn and I went downstairs to watch scary movies at our neighbour's place and I fell asleep around 2am, meaning that I missed Aliens. However, because I fell asleep surrounded by people I know and then stumbled half-asleep back to my room, I had no post-scary-movie sleeplessness. And they didn't freeze my bra.

Today was my family's birthday party for my niece and grandfather. I got Emma a Beanie Baby (remember those and how collecting them was like crack for some people?) that was totally cute and she liked it until she opened the Barbie convertible from my parents and then suddenly i\I felt like my gift was totally lame. But hey, what can beat a Barbie convertible?!

Aaaand, I just submitted my first law school application. Holy crap. And I paid the $80 application fee so I guess I'm committed to going to law school. For the record though, if they're going to charge you that much to apply, the least they could do is write the application for you. Seriously.

Anyway, now you can't say that I never update. Bye folks.

Holy crap

I got my LSAT score a few minutes ago.

Contrary to Adam's propagandizing, I did not receive a 180. This is what the email said:

"Your September 30, 2006 LSAT score is 172. The percentile rank is 99."

For those of you who are most familiar with percentiles in the math-y sense, don't feel bad for me. In terms of the LSAT, the only thing better than the 99th precentile is the 100th percentile.

My heart is beating out of my chest right now. I need to go tell everyody I know.

Shhhhhhh

As usual, apologies for the infrequent posting. If anything it's only going to get worse over the next few weeks. The reason is that I'll be trying a grand experiment: actually listening to myself and giving preference to what I want rather than what everyone else wants of me. It's been a long time without stillness, a long time without hearing my own voice. The end of the LSAT has somehow not made me feel any different, except possibly more stressed because I now have a pile of to-do's that I had put off before it.

So, if you happen to call and the cell phone is off, or if you feel like complaining that I haven't been sending you random emails (Trainee!) or keeping you blogally updated (Keith!), this is why. It probably just means that I'm doing yoga in the forest, eating twigs and/or leaves, vaccuuming, watching House, hiking, making cookies while in a zen trance-like state, etc. Then smile and know that somewhere out there is a blissed-out Hipster who will soon be back to tell all about her zany non-adventures.
