I worked 8 hours today. This is unrelated to anything, but I had the best time tonight. C bought a bunch of Halloween stuff (she's going as Ebony Way from "My Immortal", the best Harry Potter fanfic ever; I'm going as Kaylee) and I helped her try it on. Then we read chapters of "My Immortal" in the style of our favorite Scottish guys on YouTube ( Read more... )

I shouldn't be posting this post, because I know I'm overstimulated after sitting at the Party at the Aud table for a little bit more than 3 hours. I'm in a bad place and I need to shut the computer off and read and then go to sleep, but for some reason I'm fighting all of those compulsions ( Read more... )

I want to give you an update, but at the same time things compel me not to. So I'll give you a half-update and a half-LOL-time, because we can both use that ( Read more... )

I am single-handedly (okay, I'll use both hands) going to attempt to give you the biggest update since... ever.

I have the biggest smile on my face, for so many reasons ( Read more... )

Before the week ends, I'd like to remind everyone of a holiday they might not know they're missing - that's right, it's Show Off Your Butt Crack Week. On Monday when I was hanging out at Wells before ASL, there was a cute exchange student couple who took up residence at the table next to mine... at least, they WERE cute. Then I noticed that the ( Read more... )

The plague has come to East Lansing. There was an outbreak of some virus in one of the cafeterias that's somehow still spreading across campus like something wild and uninvited. Tonight when I went to dinner the card-scanner offered me some lemon-scented antibacterial gel. All of the foods were now being distributed by cafeteria workers, ( Read more... )

As of today, I am gainfully employed for the summer. Hurray! No more interviews or applications or anything like that. I will be working at a camp for physically and cognitively challenged kids and adults that's just outside of Grand Rapids. Their facilities look incredible - an indoor pool/aquatics center, a fully-accessible ropes course, and ( Read more... )

It's been one of those weekends ( Read more... )
