I will be having a graduation party this weekend, if anyone is interested. It'll be at my parents house on Saturday May 31 at 3 pm. There will be lots of food and a bonfire later in the day. Bring some beer and add it to the stash. If you need the address of where they live let me know, I'm not all about posting personal information on the

Right now all that's standing between me and a college diploma is a 10 page research paper, a non-fiction portfolio, and two exams. It's really nice outside today and I've spent most of it inside researching how body markings in Moby-Dick and Uncle Tom's Cabin translate a person's inner history to the outer narrative. Sounds riviting, I know. I ( Read more... )

I can't seem to get anything done lately. I'm supposed to be editing a story I've written for my fiction class, but I'm just staring at the screen. It's not that I don't really know what to do with it, it's more that I just don't care and I don't think it's all that good. Self-doubt hits me in waves, and this is a big one. Yes, I got into grad ( Read more... )

if you're drunk right now, you're an idiot.

Whenever I hold my (roommates) cat she just purs no matter what is going on around. Today I tried to put her in the refrigerator, but she didn't fit. I set her in the freezer and she sniffed around. I thought about shutting the door, just for a second, but I didn't. Do you know that feeling you get when you're driving and you think someone is about ( Read more... )

I hate St. Patrick's Day. In fact, I'm beginning to hate the entire month of March. I hate Irish bands (except for Dropkick Murphys) and I'm going to try to avoid the color green. This whole ordeal is so stupid.

I can't go to sleep, but my 8 o'clock class for tomorrow was cancelled, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway. I almost just got locked in Andy's car. My car still isn't finished, so I've been borrowing his. His power locks are messed up and when it's cold they like to automatically lock back up. So I was inside trying to get his scraper to get the ( Read more... )

Application is in. Now I wait. I'm beginning to lose hope. (And that's not a call for comments assuring me that I'll get this. It's a very real possibility that I won't get the assistantship this year. No big deal. I'll apply to more schools next year. That just might mean that I'll have to leave Cleveland, which I don't want to do-believe it or

I watched some chach get arrested at work today. They laid him flat on the floor of the lobby, which I'm sure was awesome the day after back to back Flogging Molly shows. All he had to do was leave quietly the first time he was asked, and not try to get back in two more times. This kid is in a Cleveland city jail now until Tuesday. He had double ( Read more... )
