I've been away from LiveJournal for a little over a month now. I can't really explain it... I just felt the need to unplug for a little bit. With all the other social networking stuff permeating the Net these days (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), I was becoming overloaded. Just needed a little break!

I also have to admit that leanasidhe's passing hit me pretty ( Read more... )

I've held off on writing about this, because... Well, to be honest, I still can't wrap my head around it. :-/ My friend Erin, known here on LiveJournal as leanasidhe, passed away suddenly on Tuesday. She had a severe asthma attack that morning, which stopped her breathing and eventually her heart. Although the paramedics did everything they could, they weren ( Read more... )

Hey guys. I am SO behind on LiveJournal-related stuff! I can't believe it's been almost three weeks since I last made a post! :-/ Life has just been busy lately and with the steady competition of Facebook and Twitter, well... I just haven't been on LiveJournal much. So if you get some comments on older entries today or during the weekend, I hope ( Read more... )

My buddy Rob moved to New York City yesterday and sent me a picture message earlier this afternoon.

A few years back a 250GB hard drive that I was using for storage crashed and all attempts to revive it were futile. I lost a TON of stuff, including a few GBs of random mp3s that I'd collected over the years. It sucked, because there were some in there that I just knew I would never find again. I've been rebuilding my library ever since, but those ( Read more... )

Yep, it's that time of year again! And it really snuck up on me, too. If all goes well, I'll be sending out my Christmas cards on Saturday. If you'd like one, just type your name and address into the text box below - and don't worry, only I will be able to see it. :-)

Poll Addresses

Fun night last night... Heather and I played poker with Kim, Eric, Becky, John, Libby (Becky's sister), and John (Libby's husband). I actually won a game! Up until now, the closest I've come was splitting the pot with Becky a couple times. But this time it got down to just me and Kim, and Kim doesn't split pots. :-P It went back and forth for a ( Read more... )

Seems like it's been forever since I wrote a real update on my journal... So here we go ( Read more... )

I had a lot of fun with Dan and his fraternity buddies at the Virginia Tech-Florida State game yesterday. The weather was PERFECT - partly cloudy with a crisp, cool fall breeze. Ah... :-) FSU got down early but came back to win it with some amazing receiving plays. The highlights...

Dan's a Virginia Tech alum, so he wasn't too happy... But oh well ( Read more... )

I haven't been in much of a writing mood lately, and my LiveJournal updates have become few and far between - with the exception of the Project 365 stuff, of course. I'm still amazed that I've kept on top of that for this long! Though I need to build up a better buffer. I usually write the week's entries all at once on Sunday night. If I could just ( Read more... )
