This was a really quick IM conversation I had with Johnathan back in 2006. <3 I miss him so much ( Read more... )

I am pretty excited for 2009 to end.

In January, I lost my financial aid and I had to move out of Richard's, hence living at home again, which, in the obvious sense, has been stifling.

In February, One of my best friends lost her brother, who I never got a chance to meet. The impact...no...the reaction I had to her pain was more than I expected ( Read more... )

After class today, I went to the library and did my Archeology weekly questions and quiz. I got a 13/25....again. That is failing, is it not? But, it gets a little better. I was about to leave campus, when I got a text from my beloved, Laura. She said she'd meet me to do some studying, so I turned right back around and picked her up from her barely ( Read more... )

I did...I told you. I told you that if you needed me, you could come visit me in my dreams. And you did. I am honored.

Jodi: Yeah, he's laughing at you, ( Read more... )

I know it's just turned into Thursday. I know I haven't gone to sleep yet. But since it is, technically, Thursday.....I know I'm in for a long day. I work. Hopefully my efforts as a moderately skilled server will earn me more than $50. We're supposed to start getting busier.

I will make a stop at Taco Bell on my way to work. I will order my usual, ( Read more... )

Valli cleaned Johnathan's room, got rid of all the trash, folded up his futon/bed, put away all this clothes. The room is cleaner than I've ever seen it. Erica, Richard and I went in there to see what kind of board games they had. I don't know what got up my ass, but I really wanted to play a board game. I chalk it up to feeling nostalgic for ( Read more... )

I went over the Richard's today. First time since...well anyway...I arrived before Jodi and Adam and I got a little overwhelmed. I ended up starting a conversation about cars (yes....cars) so that I didn't have to think. I just listened to his voice and tried to hold back tears. I probably looked like I wasn't paying too much attention, but I ( Read more... )

I was not named as the winner or runner up in the BOMB magazine short story contest. I haven't received a letter yet, although I anticipate one shortly. I did, however get officially rejected by the New England Review (NER). It's my first rejection letter, well, my first response letter, period...................I'm saving it ( Read more... )
