Hello world (and by that I mean portion of the earth's crust that is composed of lovely friends who I don't keep in touch with nearly as well as I should),

An update: I have an Americorps position working as a Hurricane Ike Case Manager. I thought things couldn't get that much more stressful than trying to balance love life concerns, finals, and ( Read more... )

Three kids tethered to mama's wrist
on a checkered web leash,
Night bus, Lights out and I listened
to a woman learn her
high school friend died of cancer
silence and sobs
But she's on her way to birth,
to becoming an aunt.
Disfigured arm in neon tie dye tee
and the terminal janitor is too friendly,
The tied together children
are getting restless

There's a flower in my computer...well maybe not in so much as tucked into the joints that connect my computer keys to the lap top monitor. Jean picked it for me and staring at it makes my paper on violence in electoral politics go by that much smoother.

Two more assignments and I'm done with college school work and so far I have no regrets.

Sorry I ( Read more... )

My future begins with procrastination in world where music is deafened by the administrative blocs that prevent me from downloading the plug-ins required to stream music on a public computer. It ends with my meeting the man of my life who, in consultation with the great Mystic, Psychic, magically fabulous Jean-Denis Couillard, has been determined ( Read more... )

So, once more I am reminded of the horrifying reality that I get depressed any time I am left to myself at night, which sucks because night is now from 6pm-7am. The main reason this worries me so much is that I plan on picking my body up and dropping it in a city halfway across the U.S. this summer where I will start out with no friends and no ties ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning absolutely determined to be a diligent student and lover of learning. My least favorite 9am class was canceled  and I was going to be positive and stay positive for an entire week so that I could get over my horrible senioritis and fear of deadlines and just do all of the work that I have to get done.

That lasted till about ( Read more... )

I should not be avoiding work, seeing as that is more or less all I have done for the past 4 days so this will be a short and sweet update:

Life=confusion and disaster and something like a stream of consciousness poem and Adam is moving out due to in-house conflict and I hope that life is happier for all but I am not so sure where all of this going ( Read more... )

Please Note: Emotions expressed in this on-line journal are subject to change.

ex: Last time I posted I hated Adam and the world. Since then I have changed my mind and decided that peaceful forgiveness is the right route after all and we are friends again. Give it a few days and I might decide that I am going to whack him over the head with a tree ( Read more... )

If hearts can turn and lift their heads and try to make sense of the world then why can't souls take a look at the cents and tell the heart that it is completely and entirely full of crap. Instead I look at the silly, superficial, media brainwashed heart says and think, hmm...that makes sense. Just like they say on Seventh Heaven, him hooking up ( Read more... )

My sister, step mom and i were all sitting at the dinner table when we got on the topic of how much we had always wanted to paint our dog. We have two yellow labs, but one of them is especially perfect for painting. He is fairly small, a very white shade of white, very laid back and loves attention. The idea started with easter egg dye. There is ( Read more... )
