A long overdue and extensive update
I write to you from Tennessee for what could very feasibly be my last time. I depart from Knoxville's McGhee-Tyson Airport at 6:18 p.m. today for a two-month residency in New York City with Scholastic Publishers. On Sunday 9 March I will return to Tennessee, only to flee to Chicago the following weekend for a weekend in Chicago to see the Magnetic ( Read more... ) -

Things come undone.
My 6-7 pager for my black lesbian class is due in 7 hours and 10 minutes. I have written exactly two sentences.
What the fuck is wrong with me? / When will I ever learn?

In other news, Knoxville is a weird little city. -
Drnxxxgvng Report
The Life Pursuit is the only thing I could listen to today while making my various rounds at family gatherings. It's briney hopefulness and sweeping openness made the bucolic drives around Morristown (including my pit stop at Jarnigan Cemet'ry to wish a Happy Nationalistic Day of Bloodshed to the familially deceased) particularly bittersweet ( Read more... ) -
All I've Missed
"Barbarism Begins at Home" has a bass line that goes all buckwild playful from 6:40 - 6:45, and I swear to God, I don't know why I wasn't born in the late 70s. Dear Smiths: I love you ( Read more... ) -

I am goddamned tired of being placed at the helm of America's slackiest-slackers. I henceforth refuse to ever be a group project leader, and if a fkkn ( Read more... ) -
A While Ago and Recently
A While Ago: Eric and I split up f'reals this time. Things have been hard-going, but the waves of time have softened the hard edges of love gone wrong. I started working a second job at Mocha Cabana as a barista, and I use the extra $30 a week to facilitate my weekend binge drinking. I keep making plans to come visit Nashvile, the likes of ( Read more... ) -

Cursory Break-Up Post
I very rarely write when I have good news. Eric and I broke up this weekend, and it's pretty weak. I can't wait until Fall Break so I can go to sleep for hours and hours. There will be neither tests nor papers there. Unfortunately, my house will still be cold without him and I'll still be upset with myself for the way things turned out. Such a ( Read more... ) -
It is here.
It is Autumn, or rather, 4 days shy of Autumn, and it couldn't be any more perfect outside if it tried. Riding my bicycle and listening to Belle & Sebastian and looking at the big, gorgeous sky makes every trip to school a joy and yes, I'll say it, a fucking blessing ( Read more... )
