Also, are you like camping out on the trail, or living in hostels? Mostly sleeping in a hammock in the woods every night. Hostel or hotel once every 4-6 days or so for shower and laundry, I'm disgusting 99% of the time these days. Currently staying with friends in NYC for a few days and very much enjoying wearing clothes other than the single outfit I hike in every day.

I think I was literally reading the first chapter of TPP when they keep talking about 'brunch' and I was about 12 at the time so thought my username should be 'related' to asoue

Lmao that's the best reason possible. Such a fan of the deep relevance of brunch to ASOUE.

Also being 12 i was too young to understand the millennial/young adolescent culture of brunch on the weekends, I genuinely never heard the term before and just thought it was some kooky asoue thing Daniel Handler had dreamt up. I was obviously wrong

Daniel Handler: inventor of brunch. I love the things we believe/figure out when we're children. Anyway it's a good name because brunch is great, so a win for sure.

OMG HI BETSY of course we both remember you!!!! Derik says hi!!! It's super cool that you're hiking the AT. We don't live too far from where it passes through Massachusetts and into Vermont, maybe we can provide you a little trail magic... And Taylor and Tiller and Scam... I think Taylor just graduated with his law degree, I have him on Facebook. Wis anyone still in touch with the rest of them? Yes, Derik and I met on here in like 2015 when we were 13. He lived in NJ and I lived in NY, and we made it work until he moved in with me. It is wild that this little proboards forum created multiple marriages, that's kind of insane. One time we met up with Akbar in NYC! Did you guys know he's a professional journalist now? He writes for Huffington Post. It's crazy how some people know from childhood exactly what they want to do! First the 667er and now legitimate journalism. Omggg that'd be incredible to meet up with you!! I'll probably be around there in 2 weeks... It's sad to have fallen so out of touch with so many. People I used to talk to literally every day I have no clue what they're up to now. Double post because I can no longer follow the rules: I forgot to say what I'm doing. I'm currently finishing up my PhD in epidemiology - yes, I started before Covid. Yes, it was weird. Oh sweet, that's awesome! This would definitely be an exceptionally interesting time to study epidemiology. Do you know what kind of setting you want to work in after you finish? I'm an ICU travel nurse, mostly trauma and cardiothoracic surgery until everything became covid all the time, so that's what I'll go back to after the trail, I just don't know where yet. You must have some serious battle stories being an ICU travel nurse during covid... I can see why you needed to take some time to reset and recover (though personally, I can't imagine a thru hike being exactly restful!) I'm hoping to go into academia with a research focus. I mostly work in drug user health and infectious disease which unfortunately means I have a pretty secure future. PMed you some details <3

Omg MMMMM this makes me so happy!!!! I miss Derik, ask him if he remembers who I am. There are so many OG oldies that I miss. Aries, Tiller, Scam, Samreen, Alice.... Everyone come tell me where you are now!! I quit life and am currently thru hiking the Appalachian Trail wait liz i was just thinking about doing this the other day... so good to hear u livin the dream <3
