There are these times where I think about my past, and then I go OH MY GOD DID I REALLY DO THAT ( Read more... )

So I haven't talked to my family much recently, whereby family, I mean you guys.  Half-apologies about that.

I say half because if I were truly apologetic, well, I would have just written home more often, because I've certainly had the thought quite a few times.  Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that I am rarely up to writing anything ( Read more... )

It's the start of a new quarter, and that means it's time for me to be excited.  Keeping this short and sweet ( Read more... )

I was originally going to make this into a fairly long, drawn-out post with some musings and a cutesy anecdote at the end about a dream I had recently, but that never happened and it seems too daunting to do right now, so I'm just going to get this off of my chest ( Read more... )

I wanted to spend this summer getting research/job experience that might be useful in applying to grad school, learning random skills (like, say... how to cook, or how to juggle, or how to play To Zanarkand on the piano), and basically doing whatever the hell _I_ want. This is a brand new thing for me, and it gives me a whole world to explore ( Read more... )

Naruto has _such_ an uncanny ability to cheer me up. One panel in this chapter... really... really did it for me. Thanks again, Mr. Kishimoto ( Read more... )

Staying up until 2am playing Agricola with Jasper, Michele, Andrea, and Courtney was wonderful. I really needed that in more than one way.
