I want to write here but I feel so mentally exhausted. Ugh. I'll try to at least bullet-point some updates, anyway ( Read more... )

I don't think I can ever remember a time in my life when I was busier, or actually legitimately tired for good reason (not just from staying up late because I could) than I am right now ( Read more... )

For those of you who have been with me for awhile: this icon may look familiar. ;D

So I'm sitting here with my laptop on my lap, on my bed, leaning my head against the wall. My cat had been sleeping, but she just woke up and within thirty seconds was staring at me (or so I thought) in an unusually interested manner.

AYE ME. I'm home again. Left Maine on Thursday, rode the bus to Albany, spent the night at my aunt's house, then she drove me home on Friday. On the bus from Boston to Albany, this nerdly guy named Mark talked to me pretty much consistently, about everything under the sun. Tourism in Boston, random historical trivia, music, cell phones, video games ( Read more... )

It's snowing. Just lightly, but it's snowing. And sticking. We've had one snowfall here earlier this month, but this seems more notable to me because I think it's been falling since sometime last night. I vaguely remember lying half-asleep in my bed last night, my mom and I on the phone with my grandma, and hearing her say: "Yup, it's snowing. Son ( Read more... )
