~.: Just got off the phone with my brother. I had a dream about him last night that started with me hearing him scream in pain. I can remember the first time I ever heard that scream in real life. I don't think anyone can fully understand the physiological and emotional reaction that happens with a memory like that, unless they've experienced it ( Read more... )

~.: So, since Michael and I have been spending pretty much every weekend together for a little more than a month, and discussing exclusivity, naturally the topic of official-ness has come up. I'm trying to be cautious with this and avoid all the mistakes I made with Guille, but I'm wondering if I'm taking things too slowly and being too cautious? I ( Read more... )

~.: So I know I've been absent from LJ for a little while, what with life keeping me busy and not having any boyfriend related drama to rant about, but now I'm back and I sort of have something I'd like to put out there (because I enjoy gushing XD ( Read more... )

I started then to whine about how easy it would be for me to get a job in New York, especially considering I already have ( Read more... )

~.: So I applied to be a volunteer with SOME (So Others Might Eat). They sent me a newsletter asking for donations and whatnot, and I realized that, while I can't donate my money, I can certainly donate my time. I read through the newsletter, which explained what their organization is all about, and it's pretty much everything I wish the government ( Read more... )

~.: So I'm selling my old prom/sig ball dresses on Craigslist. One of them already has a hit, and I just posted it yesterday. If this lady buys it, it's an extra $150, which I can put towards my cell phone bill that's already a month delinquent. :x Nevertheless, I'm freaking out less about my phone possibly getting turned off until I can pay it, ( Read more... )

~.: What does it mean that I'm jealous? D:
