If my life were a TV show, this past weekend would have been some kind of season finale. The details paint an unhappier picture than the reality, but SUFFICE TO SAY that it was loosely comprised of losing almost all of my valuables, the people I care about having no idea where I was for a few hours, and ending up at a police station in the middle ( Read more... )

Hello. As I so often need to do, I am going to start this post with an apology to everyone I've friended for my lack of dedication on livejournal. You are all in my heart, always. I'm lucky enough to be the kind of person who knows what and whom to appreciate, and I think it will be very difficult for me to forget much of the love and encouragement ( Read more... )

Wishing I didn't want this, or that, or him. Enviously witnessing someone else's abandon. "You deserve better. I hope things get easier for you." Catching pins before they hit the ground.

I hope that you're doing things that make you happy and ( Read more... )

Greetings, old chums! Again, many apologies for being a highly neglectful f-lister and disappearing for... however long I've been gone. I assure you, I do have excuses aplenty ( Read more... )

I like people who have confidence enough to be self-deprecating without turning it ( Read more... )

When it comes to things that don't really matter - Christmas gifts, costume ideas for dress-up parties, fics - I always find myself piling far too much onto my plate and being ludicrously over-ambitious. And then when it comes to the important things - university, job-hunting - I'm quite the opposite. Sad, really. I say this because I have six ( Read more... )

I have spent the last five days watching and loving The Deathly Hallows: Part I, clearing out my room, reminding my friends that I haven't forgotten who they are, spending money that I can't afford to lose, and generally being phenomenally happy. It's been a magnificent five days of freedom ( Read more... )
