see you there

what color did you get? I'd like to see whomever got orange.

thats the cutest idea i've ever seen.. aww :)

OMG! That's such a cute idea!

Post some pictures

How far is the trip (by car) between Portland and Seattle?

180 miles.... 70 mph speed limit most the way. (thus, 80 mph)

Including the slowness at beginning and ending of the trip, it works out to 2.5 - 3 hours, all things being good.

It's taken up to 6+ hours before, though, when I'm stupid and try to go during rush hour on holidays with traffic accidents.

That’s much shorter than I thought. I was expecting it to be more like 4–5 hours, but this looks about the same as – maybe even shorter than – the trip between New York City and Providence.

The reason I ask is because I may be interning in the northwest this summer, and I definitely want to take some time to explore a little while I’m out there. I am not well-traveled.

Interning where? And where? (company/city)

Oh boy, I’m embarrassed telling this to Mr. Brad Fitzpatrick of LiveJournal, but… Microsoft. I assume you know where they’re located. They recruit pretty heavily at Brown (more than any other tech company), and their internship program is pretty sweet…

Poor attempt to redeem myself: I’d like to use this as a stepping stone to better places that look favorably on industry internships when hiring college grads, but offer few if any of their own.

I understand if you never ever ever want to talk to me again. Hah.

eh, i just don't always get around to unscreening things. :-)
