i think i might be manic depressive. lately i am either ecstatically happy or extremely down, and there doesn't seem to be much inbetween. i'm never just "okay". either i've never been better, or i've never been worse. i don't know what's going on with me right now. maybe i'm just really stressed out. maybe this is what 6 classes, 15 hours of work ( Read more... )

I miss you, Jersey. Everyone up here is too polite and kind, they hold doors, and they smile more than I'm comfortable with, and when they say 'have a good day' or 'how are you', they actually sound like they mean it, like they want a real answer. I don't know how to deal with this, Jersey. I miss your anger. Your filth. Tomorrow I'll be coming ( Read more... )

Currently, I'm writing from a hotel in Massachusetts, because I'm up here with my boyfriend auditing some creative writing classes. So far, it's been a great experience. I took one class on dialogue which was incredibly helpful because that is one of my biggest weak points and I learned a lot of ways to improve that part of my writing. Today's ( Read more... )

Two more days left in the semester and I'm ready to go insane because I still have a final left to take and a final paper that is due and I need to get a portfolio together for creative writing, but instead I'm sitting here watching the snow fall, and I'm thinking too far into the future of all the things I'm looking forward to. Like winter break, ( Read more... )

I want to start a movement, but I'm not sure where to begin and I don't know if enough people care. Ever since Obama's speech about sending 30,000 more troops to war, it's all I can think about. Last night me and Rick were talking about the war, and I started to talk about how sad it is that thousands of young men are sent to war before they even ( Read more... )

It's everything I want and more and now I'm even grateful for all the shit in my past because it all leads somewhere, and here, here I'm alright. thanksgiving couldn't of went any better, it was great to be with my boyfriend and all of my family and share laughs and drinks over dinner. everyone in my family loves rick, and it's such a relief when ( Read more... )

I just finished my first REAL short story and I'm really proud of it. I still think improvements could be made on it, but I just sent it out to Laura, my creative writing "mentor" as I like to call her, and I'm going to wait for her to respond before I make any changes. If anyone wants to read it and tell me what they think, let me know. I'm open ( Read more... )

In ten days from now, November 28th, me and Rick will have been together for a year already. It went by so fast, but at the same time, so much has happened for both of us, HUGE life changes in that period of time, that sometimes it feels like we've been together longer than that. For our anniversary, we're spending the day in NYC. First we're going ( Read more... )
