there’s this girl with really cool blonde/platinum braids who i would CONSTANTLY see on campus last semester, like I would see her every day sometimes and it was a lil annoying and awkward bc i didn’t know if she also recognized me every day? also i guess we were both in the library a lot but also sometimes just walking on the street i would pass by her and be like ohh boy not again

and then on wednesday i went to bruegger’s because i didn’t have time to sit down and eat something and i saw her working at the counter and i was like crap WHY and avoided eye contact until she waved to tell me that she would be preparing my bagel and after i told her what i wanted and stared off into space she asked me if i worked at the research building and i was like …yea…. how would u kno… and she said she recently started in the lab next to mine 

and i really had not seen her there before due to my being oblivious that week and i’m wondering how she saw me working at the lab without me seeing her?? anyway we introduced ourselves to each other and had a short convo and i am still wondering if she recognizes me as a person who kept walking by her last semester in random places hmm

Get this so we’ve been following each other on insta for awhile and today on her story she posted that she’s gay and I messaged her being like “idk if u remember me but I used to run into you sometimes and I lowkey wondered if you were queer and now I am very pleased with my gaydar” and she messaged me back and was like yeah I remember seeing you and wondering the same thing!! what

This weekend at Eaux Claires I saw Julien Baker play eight-ish times, saw Justin Vernon play a bunch of times, saw them play on the same stage, plus she walked by me/stood near me like 4 or 5 times. I wanted to die. Nothing will ever compare to this.

I'm at fucking Eaux Claires in the middle of the woods with people all around me at their campsites and in their respective tents and I'm listening to people's conversations and overwhelmed by how we're all here because of our trust in Justin Vernon and love for his music Like you know the people who are here this year are the ones who consider his music so meaningful to them like it's 11:32 pm and I'm just listening to someone blasting Bon Iver from a campsite a little while away and I just

Can you see the teeeeny tiny little sliver of alpenglow at the top of the peak? Here’s to hoping I’m able to catch as many wildflower speckled mountain meadows this summer as I did last year.• • • #optoutside #getoutstayout #choosemountains #rei1440project #keepitwild #outdoorwomen #goatworthy #adventureculture #thegreatoutdoors #northwestisbest #wildernessbabes #pnwwonderland #liveyouradventure #mimosasonmpintains #bestmountainartists #theoutbound #everytrailconnects #getoutside #campingcollective #freshairandfreedom #greettheoutdoors #takeahike #exploremore #dennycreek #mountainlife #wanderwashington #dronestagram #departedoutdoors #wearethewild (at Mount Rainier National Park)

I spent like seven years thinking I'd never see Bon Iver live and suddenly I find myself looking forward to seeing him for the third time this year at his own goddamn festival

I went to an open mic today and realized that one of the featured performers was in the movie Princess Cyd which is set/filmed in Chicago and I somehow recognized them from the back of their head??? But I didn’t get to hear them perform because my friend made me leave to get food

Deciding to join this research department is one of the best decisions I made this year lol Like instead of worrying about coming out, I'm worried that people will think I'm straight?? In what situation does this happen except for in a department dedicated to LGBT research??

The place where I'm doing research is like 75% LGBTQ+ people and it's the best place I've ever worked

I bought my backpacking pack so now I have my big three and I'm kind of relieved because I've been anxious that somehow this next month is going to pass by so quickly and i won't be ready at all

Two years ago we were married on the edge of a cliff in Maine with our two closest friends as witnesses. It couldn’t have been more amazing.

Just bought my tent and sleeping bag for the camping trip in July and I'm so excited that it's actually happening!! I can't wait to go to REI when I get back to Chicago so I can try on backpacks and start compiling the rest of my stuff!!
