Welcome...

Hi!

...to my blog, Leah Lays It Down. I'll start with some background information.

I'm from Eugene, Oregon. Although I currently live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I think we can all agree that the West Coast is the best coast. I'll be writing from wherever: Eugene, Cambridge, or wherever my travels take me. I'll try to lay it down as often as I can.

I already blog under the name Leah627 at Amplify, but sometimes I want to write about more than sexual health, feminism, and reproductive justice: I want to write about lectures, a cappella, Lady Gaga, classes, the environment, dining hall debates, politics, my friends, Beyonce, musical theater, food, Gossip Girl, sports-- you get the idea. I have a facebook account but don't like writing "Notes," and twitter is kind of fun, but the 140 character allowance is not enough to make up for the amount of crap I get for "tweeting." Props to Julia Jeffries, aka JRJ, for the blogging inspiration.

I'll try to write as often as I can, but since it's almost 1 am, and I stayed in tonight to get sleep, I should probably do that. I need to be fresh and awake for Sunday Brunch tomorrow, which is far and away the best meal of the week: lox and bagels (my vegan weakness), fruit, steel cut oatmeal with cranberries, hot tea... plus, you can basically eat twice as much as you normally would, since it's two meals in one. Right? Right.

Little known fact: I stalk the HUDS website (HUDS=Harvard University Dining Services). It's the best procrastination tool. It even shows you handy facts like what percentage of your daily protein that Broccoli Peanut Sauce Tofu was.

Goodnight!
