ali looking for a full-time position that will sustain me for at least a year... Posted at 12:13 PM Sep 7 view more
About me: An intuitive (slightly michievous) individual who has a terrible (but so fun) wander-lust and is drawn to the odd and curiously beautiful things of the world. That includes people, places, things, conversations... whateveh
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
Who I'd like to meet: friends that I don't get to see that often especially :) for the record, if i don't know you in real life, why would i want to meet you here? food for thought.
Oh my gosh!! I so am! My entire side is done and yesterday I got "Lion de Dieu" on my upper back. It stands for lion of god which is the definition of arielle in french. (and Im a Leo...very fitting). I'm amazing!! are your parents here?! when are you coming to visit???!!! I miss you lovely lady.
hey girl! Yep in Dallas now where I matched for an anesthesia residency. I am actually loving it out here! Back to Cali? That's great, too bad I just left there, but my sister still lives in LA and is going no where anytime soon. So I am sure I will be out there at some point this year. So what are you up to these days? And the wedding, couldn't make it since I am an intern now- boo! ;)
i miss you like crazy girl! i just got a place in tarzana! i'll be gradually moving out of my parent's house between now and the end of the month! yay! i would love to have you over when you're in town and treat you to dinner.
It is crazy, isn't it? Everything's AMAZING! I'm so happy! I pretty much love my life. I just moved into a huge house with all my best buds...it can't get much better than that! That's so exciting about your parents. I can't wait to see you! Def. keep me posted. Love you..miss you!!
thanks for the birthday love!!!! :) chicago is GREAT...now that it's nice out again. when will you be paying us a visit? i feel like you were here for only an hour.
and really, corey bought me a vacation for my birthday. i wonder if amsterdam counts? i would love love love to go there. i bet if we both team up, we can convince him. ;)
Hey! You've been on my mind. How's things in the Neederlands? ;) I was recalling last night our Romanian adventures... those were some good times with Andy and her fam. I hope you're well!
Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day! Pray that God will bless you this year and that He will fill your hearth with love. That He will make you the way you are ment to be and that He will show you the talents you didnt even know you had. I pray that this is gonna be a changing year for you. That God will take pain away and that you will feel great and have the best year ever!
Hi Ali - this winter is so *#%@&% long! We got snow again this week - ugh! Hope you had a great time in Switzerland! We are missing you lots, and praying for you always!
I telling this to everyone who went with us- I'm feeling very homesick (for lack of a better word) for Budapest. I even started googling this family that made pocketknives and sold them in Szentendre. My dad still has his!
Haha yes! it was a fun partying it up with Noah once again!! I wouldn't say i'm living in the fast lane..i'm in Alva Oklahoma population 7,000.Haha So how's everything with you? How's Amsterdam?
OMG i had sooo much fun with you the other night!! it was so good to see you! i ended up not going to work the next day and puked my guts out, and then getting strep so i didnt go the day after either. im pretty much worthless. anyways, i cant wait to visit you and the fam again!
Hey! Ian and I will *try* to make it to the Globe tomorrow, but no guarantees. I have a phone conference thingy that starts at 8:00pm...and I don't have a clue how long it'll take! I promise, we'll try!
