Ah, wonderful luck that I have. Thank you luck for the flu that I am currently beginning to suffer from. My life wasn’t bad enough, no, so this catching of the flu is just what I needed to remind myself how miserable I can get. It’s glorious, really.

Friday morning, 11:40am, I get on a plane to head back home to VA.  I can’t avoid it and I need to go home… I WANT to go home. I miss it and I really don’t want to be here any longer, though I have mixed feelings about leaving my mother behind. I know that she is going to be ( Read more... )

A friend decided that he was going to help me complete my 28 Books in 2008 goal. He has a crap load of books and has already sent me our next book. With one completed, I am now one book closer to my goal… okay, so one book out of 28 by this time of the year isn’t that good. I ( Read more... )

I know, I don’t have enough in my life to try daily updates, but today is a day and this is an update, so it is a day update.  They are sporadic and inconsistent at best, but I really don’t have enough in my life at this point to attempt daily updates.

I am a very impatient person. I don’t like to spend a lot of idle time standing around, listening to details that don’t matter, waiting for things to happen. I like to keep moving and I get irrationally angry at people who stand in my way of going about my business, doing the ( Read more... )
