My parents informed me, last minute, they were planning on having guests to their house after tomorrow's shower. Given the general state of their property, I did not feel that a wise decision. My father asked me to "move a few boxes". As if that were the problem. Still, in 2.5 hours, I do amazing things. (Note, this also took a complete ( Read more... )

The first one is the surface of the water. The lake has melted to the extent that it's covered in a thin film of slush. The wind refroze a "skin" of ice over the ( Read more... )

Oddness. I had a headache last night and this morning. Splitting. Notable since I'm not much of a headache person. If I get two a year, I'm having unusual headache activity ( Read more... )

C. added me to her facebook. Which opened the gates of high school. My date from junior prom just messaged me. I mean, wow. Crazy.

I haven't felt this good about remembering in ages. Getting in touch with so many people out of the blue.
