What is your current relationship status?

I like ski bums and river guides. Why do you think I work in these areas? they're just not necessarily good with the "commitment" part of things.

You should really read some Pam Houston, if you haven't already. You remind me of her - and of her characters. I recommend "Cowboys are my weakness". It's a book of short stories written about boy-girl relationships out in the wild, from a female perspective. Then again, you might get irritated at her style after a while, but there are some good stories in there.

Thanks Rafa!
I love her. She has taught/still teaches? at UC Davis I believe. I've read some of the stories and yep, some irritated me, but some were cool. In my pre-post-bac life, I had a full TAship at an MFA program.
There's another awesome book you might dig, edited by Gretel Erlich, although it's a coffee-table style book- called "Writing Down the River" (my friend Julie Munger is in the photos!). Awesome. That's my life, and those stories are why I do what I do. 👍

I am engaged, and am worried if the stress of med school is going to lead us in the direction opposite of marriage. When I am stressed out, I yell and can become mean and unattentive 🙁
