My Ginny paper is being published in that Zossima Press essay collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shall be squeeing all day and night!!

When the book comes out I'll organize a party to celebrate the awesomeness that is my essay.

BruBitches: chicken will be bought. Copious amounts of chicken.

I mostly just wanted to post to draw attention to my pretty new icon, which I made myself a couple days ago. FTW!

I saw Hamlet 2 today with alcestis and I lurved it! Rock me sexy Jesus!

And I kind of have writer's block. I have ideas for a story, and developed characters more or less, but I'm not sure what the overarching plot will be, or where to start. ( Read more... )

Taught my first class this afternoon... and I survived! One of my fears was realized when I walked in and someone said "Oh, we thought you were a student!" Ugh. I knew it would happen. My friend and (now I can call her) colleague said that she was mistaken for a student until she was 35. Tehehe, I have friends who are professors! I am on a near- ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure my word count is over the limit, so I may get it back to edit it down. I'm kind of counting on that... god I suck.

...she writes songs about my life. Actually, I just wish. Left work today in an Ani mood and two of my favorite songs popped into the shuffle first...

( Guess which... )

So my travels continued this Friday when I went home to Pennsylvania for my cousin Brittnie's wedding. Urgh.

Not that I'm not happy for her (woo-hoo!). My issue is that she's MY AGE. Eeek. Also, she and her *now* husband Mark own a house. God, that's so adult. I mean, perhaps if I met and started dating my future mate at 15 and went to cosmetology ( Read more... )

I hate Air France. Not even the airline, though I know flying AF, especially with checked luggage, is almost a pain worse than death. I've been temping at the corporate office in HR for almost a whole year *gag* and I. want. OUT. I've kept coming in day after day because my schedule is so flexible (Mon-Thur, leave usually by 4), but coming back to ( Read more... )
