( I wish I'd never heard this song. It makes me restless. )

I still think about him, the doctor. I shouldn't. I thought I wasn't. Now I just let it come as often as I want without fighting it off -- because what's the harm in thinking about something that has 0 chance of ever happening. It scares me though. I worry for myself. I think about him -- I think -- as a way of holding onto this very, very ( Read more... )

It snowed this morning in New Orleans for a good long while. I woke up with Chris and he convinced me to take the morning off work. Which was perfect. We went out to breakfast at my favorite diner in the snow after a night of tapas and my favorite local band playing at Mimi's, the place we met ( Read more... )

I'm going camping tomorrow morning. I do not miss the doctor anymore. I'm missing my dad a lot recently -- a lot. Journalist and I are carpooling back to Houston for Thanksgiving (we're both from there). I am content but scared of becoming complacent.

This past weekend was true fun -- true fun that I have not experienced in a long time. Halloween was good -- not mind-blowing, but good. However, since I was attached to the journalist most of the time, I felt the need to run away with my friends and find adventures. The night ended with Lucky Dogs on Bourbon with another couple (gross, just ( Read more... )

Got NetFlix today because both a friend and the boyfriend decided to get it. I want my own movies all the time. Should invest in a DVD copier to make it worth my time. Tonight's Halloween... as usual I'm worried about logistics... but I do think it'll end up being quite fun ( Read more... )

...the glass doors of the house
remained closed
the days had turned cold
and out in the tall hickories
the blaze of autumn had begun
on its own
