I moved back to campus on Saturday, with the help of my father and step-mother. We moved everything in pretty efficiently, then went to get food, then went to storage to get the rest of my belongings. Only, my stuff was buried by two other people's things, so they deferred to next (this coming) weekend to come back and help me. However, someone ( Read more... )

On Monday, I received confirmation that I can bring a pet to campus. A few hours after I checked my email and found the message, my step-mother brought me to the shelter so that I could take Gabby home. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found her. We both love snuggling, and I spent a day or two doing nothing but sitting on my bed reading so that ( Read more... )

Lol. While I was cleaning the last two days, I collected odds and ends that various cats I've known like to play with. Yesterday I also had bloodwork done, so I had a hospital bracelet, and added it to the toy-basket I'm using for if kitty gets here. Woke up to Nighty, our tabby cat, playing with it and chewing on it. It made me happy. Glad to know ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to my cat Mischief hiding on my bed next to me because my mother was locking her out of all the other rooms. I got her purring harder than usual until my mother brought the cat carrier in, at which point I picked her up, sat up and turned toward the door, and she walked off my lap and into the carrier. Color me shocked. I ( Read more... )

I hate having a cold. It came on suddenly two days ago. I'm hoping I'll be better for the dinner I'm going to tomorrow night with Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and a couple other people from her message board. Did I mention that I occasionally love being a New Englander? This is one of those times. I'm one of maybe four or five board regulars who live in ( Read more... )

There's a person at my church, married to one of my best friends there. (Yeah, I'm 17 and my 'best friend' is...65?) Thing is, he formally asked us (the congregation) to consider him a transgendered male. I'm used to thinking of him as 'she' and it's hard to change the way I think about her--I mean, him. I'm all confused now ( Read more... )

Yes, this is a kind of weird combination to write about, but hey! My birthday was Thursday and I took the SAT Subject test (Math 2, Biology-E and Chemistry) this morning.

To start, I'm so happy that my birthday finally came. I'm now 17 (go me!) and can watch movies at school without a permission slip (for one benefit). We just happened to be ( Read more... )
