I'm sitting in Penn Station with an ungodly headache, waiting for a train which won't arrive for another forty-five minutes. My learner's permit is lost and I'm afraid to stand up because every time I've done so today green light has engulfed my vision.

It probably sounds like I've had an unpleasant trip, which is patently false. I had a lovely trip ( Read more... )

Funny story: my mom and I are both dating people in Maryland. Of course, hers is a hotel manager who travels for a living, so they see each other every couple weeks and go on trips together and such things that Flo and I can't do. Today my mom was showing me the Valentine's card he gave her, and it was signed "love you more." It turns out they ( Read more... )

I’m supposed to be studying right now, but I’m tired and dizzy and still in pain from going to the doctor on Friday (well, a doctor ( Read more... )

Conversation between my girlfriend and her "dad"

Flo: I WANT MY COMPUTER BACKKKK!

Friend: let's go together, love

Life is hectic right now. Schoolwork is coming in a flood, partially because teachers want to shove as much down our throats as they can before senioritis kicks in and partially because I’m taking so many AP classes.
