"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."
~Neil Gaiman
Well it's been awhile my dear lj. And many, many things have happened. First off there was that whole graduation thing, which still doesn't feel real to me. Since then surprisingly, despite not going anywhere unusual, I've still been busy. Ben graduated from law school and is now studying for the bar. I've been working at the library and keeping busy other ways. My orientation is Friday. I've talked to two of the other people who will be staying in the same suite or pod (as they call them) as me. And I do have a single room. Well that's about all I have to say generally speaking. Maybe I'll try to get back to updating more regularly.
