"It's not easy being green" in OKC
But it's not impossibleI, Paul Mitchell, heretofore pledge to do my utmost to protect myself and my environment as much as possible. I'm familiar with several peoples' opinions on the silliness of the green movement (mainly from the conservative right-wingers), but let me remind you that, especially if you believe in a creating God, man/woman has ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Solitude
Transcribed from my personal journal, written late 6/24 into early 6/25"Oh, Solitude," as Keats once wrote. It's strange here, here in this void lacking of people, the cats my only companions.

This post will reveal things of a personal nature I have not yet shared openly with most people. Be forewarned, I'm not going to spare words:

Grad school, theatre, and STDs
Well, it's been crazy. Half of my inter-library loan books are already late (I'm going to have a hefty fine to pay, and I'm sure Tamie Willis will be mad at me for not getting the ILLs back in on time), and I certainly haven't done near enough research to turn them back in. It sucks ( Read more... )
