Remember that post I had a few months ago about long distance relationships? Well, I feel like I’m ready to add to that today.
This Friday, Doctor Flash leaves for year II of med school. By my count, this is the third time he’s leaving for an extended period of time but I feel now as I did when I first found out he was going to be attending med school out of the country.

in Hearts and Sexual Organs Tags: irks, LDR, long distance relationship, things people say
When my boyfriend and I were deciding on whether to go on this LDR, or long-distance relationship, my friends (I don’t know about his) generally thought that it would be a bad idea. That’s what people say, right, LDRs are just doomed to fail. In our case, there really was no chance it would work: we’d be 5 timezones apart and we’d both be really too busy to keep in touch.
Well, here we are, 6 months into our LDR, and I thought I would share one of its irks.
Kitten is a Filipino ex-pat who is trying to be a teacher of literature and who lives somewhere around Jersey or Athens. She loves both math and music, but stayed away from them as career areas in fear that she will grow to hate them. She does not understand the American concepts of power-naps and working vacations. She makes politically-incorrect jokes because they are funny and if you don't think so go get yourself a sense of humor. She believes that cooking is an art but baking is an exact science. In her high school biology class, her lab partner did all the work in frog dissection because she couldn't stand to look at the poor animal pinned to the dissecting pan. In her college biology class, she cried when she threw out her fetal pig whom she named "Wilbur." She has never completed a crossword puzzle, cheated on a test, or seen an episode of Jersey Shore.
