Greetings from Indiana!

I've been in Indiana for a day or so now and it's been rather rainy the whole time. Except now that I point that out, it's gotten sunny. At any rate, I feel as though it's time for a blog update.

Monday I had an interview at American Medical Systems, which I think went really well. It seems like a nice place to work. They do manufacturing and research in the same facility as corporate stuff. I'd be doing an HR internship, so that'd be really fun. Plus, the facility is on the Greenway, and they have a gym. So I could potentially bike to and from work. This excites me. Other than this interview, my job search continues.

To inform everyone on my dental hygiene, I got the rest of my fillings done last Tuesday (only 3 this time and they didn't find any more). This round through wasn't so bad surprisingly. I even got some stains off my teeth. Apparently drinking tea makes your teeth stained, and I drink a lot of tea. So now I have that to worry about. Afterward my mouth was numb, but it was less amusing this time because I was prepared for it. And I didn't accidentally spurt any water out of my mouth. When I got home I read a bit of Helter Skelter and fell asleep. Since my mouth was numb I drooled an absurd amount all over my blanket. But it was a really nice nap.

Yesterday I went to a baby shower for someone who works at the place I did last summer, though she started after I left, so I didn't know her. It was rather amusing. Only one actual child was present, and she was quiet, so she didn't annoy me. The first of the games we played was to "give birth" to a plastic baby frozen in a cup of water. So we had to melt the ice and whose ever "water" broke first and their baby was able to be taken out, won. I didn't win, but eventually I gave "birth" to a 1 oz. baby boy named Zack. I did sort of win the word scramble game, which made me proud because I have wasted enough of my life playing Text Twist that I should have done well at that.

Dad took the 4-wheeler that I crashed to the shop today because he's tired of working on it. Later we're supposed to go kayaking, and I'm excited. Though I'm slightly nervous that I'll rip open the kayak on some rocks or something. Just so that I can ruin everything new that my dad gets.

Tomorrow is the Indy 500! Expect some pictures from that.

The internet is slow.

Devolution of power in Northern Ireland is sort of a big deal. I like to read about it. Especially when the BBC chooses to include their best stock of photos for articles. Look here. My favorite picture was of Stormont and how dissolving the Northern Irish assembly has something to do with cutting the grass (no sexual comment intended). Then I scrolled back up only to see the beautiful Ian Paisley looking like the Wicked Witch of the West, only without the green face. As I've said before, I love the news.

I also love Senator Robert Byrd. For those of you who don't know he's a Democrat from West Virginia and the longest serving senator. He's on CSPAN-2 a lot making delightful hand motions. He also is a good guy, very logical. He's written autobiographies that read as American history textbooks. I have a secret, school-girl crush.

I also have five cavities! I hate the dentist. Really, I used to like it, but now that the past 2 times I've gone they've "discovered" 5 cavities, I'm pissed. No not drunk, angry. To get back at them I'm going to floss like the devil!! They'll never see such pristine between the teeths. If I have any teeths left. Turns out I also have Bruxism, you might too. My teeth are slowly being whittled away by my... teeth at night. So all those times at sleepovers when Allie thought I was eating something that she also wanted, it was really me just chewing my teeth. I don't think that's something she actually would really want. Hopefully soon I'll get an incredibly expensive nightguard to relax my mouth at night and I wont make strange noises that wake up others, especially Clare.
