AHHHHH I AM SO ABSENT FROM LJ IT DRIVES ME CRAAAZY. Sorry, folks. :( I've fallen into one of those ruts of no-posts because I feel like, even though I'm busy all the time, it's not the sort of busy that's lending itself to fun blogging, which is generally how I like to roll here. I'm incredibly stressed about work and the Oncoming Lack Thereof. ( Read more... )

I have a confession to make. For those of you that have been around here for awhile, it will come as no real surprise, but were I to sit down for a conversation with myself of ten years ago, well. Things might be different ( Read more... )

Why is 'Rocketman' such a damn good song? Elton John, you rock my world. This has been one of the songs that have slowly snuck up on me for the last year and a half until it's finally exploded into part of my acknowledged mental music library. I knew we were meant to be together, 'Rocketman' and I, when I heard an a cappella version this weekend ( Read more... )

What a day. Jeez... It's hard to wrap my head around the news that we've got a new pope. I've decided to not stress and to rather reserve judgement until we see him in action, largely because there is more than enough stress in my life right now without worrying about things in which I have no control ( Read more... )

Oh my heavens. I started to watch a DVD of 'The Pirates of Penzance' as performed by my former campers, and I am desperately in mirth. I love these kids. I had to take a break, however, after 'I Am a Pirate King,' as this is clearly an experience to be savored... ;) I miss them ( Read more... )
