I kept saying over and over that I would try and start posting more of my writing and getting over my fears of sharing my work. Well, I started to. I might've mentioned this already, but I decided to do a writing project over the summer where you write at least 500 words every day for the entire summer, in the hopes of having a decent manuscript to ( Read more... )

I have been on the phone a million different times today with the people who are helping me get my apartment. I hate talking on the phone, but I hate it even more when it's with strangers or people that are in a position of authority. And I've been doing this since ten this morning, and I think I FINALLY got everything figured out. It sounds like ( Read more... )

Well, there goes my good mood for the day.

NYTimes, the bastion of quality reporting, reported on the gang-rape of an 11 year-old girl in Texas  that's led to charges against 18 high-school boys so far - all well and good so far, right?  Shit like this NEEDS publicity to raise awareness.

Only problem is, they ( Read more... )

 I've been meaning to make an entry for a while, but I got caught up with other things and now it's the start of the new year, so I'm gonna put it off again while I do those fun memes. Maybe some of it will come up in them, we'll see.

( The Months )

I had finals all this week, so except for doing a couple things on Facebook, I literally have had no time to myself. This would've been the perfect day to catch up on sleep, but I'm having a cab come get me at 4:30 AM to take me to the airport for my flight that LEAVES at 7:00 AM. So I gotta make sure this time that I'm there early. And since it's ( Read more... )

As most of you know, I turned 20 on Monday. I know I said it felt weird to turn 19 last year, but this I feel like now when I say it it's a legitimate reason - because it's twenty. Like, there's that threshold that I crossed over, and every time I look in the mirror I have a hard time seeing it. I don't know, it hasn't even been a week so I'll get ( Read more... )

So I ended up going to the Combichrist show that was tonight. I probably wasn't going to go if Amanda hadn't agreed to go with me, but she really likes techno and thought she'd give it a shot. Even though when I first brought it up, the conversation went something like this ( Read more... )

 Omg, so this is pretty impossible to happen, but I can't help getting super excited over it. Which sucks, because I know I can't actually do it, so it'll just be that much more disappointing when the time comes and I'm not enjoying it.

BUT WHO CARES YOU GUYS STILL NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT.

Twenty days from today I'll turn twenty. 2-0 to 2-0! Yeah. Kinda lame, 'cause what's good about turning twenty ( Read more... )

 HULLO. I don't say anything, ever. So I'm changing that. I've been meaning to come on and talk about my classes and how's school going and blah blah but my Internet connection is really wonky, and LJ especially has been a bitch to get on. This is one of the few chances that my Posting page has loaded, so I'm gonna take advantage of that ( Read more... )
