It's stinking cold in my dorm room. The past several nights, I've felt worse and worse as the night goes on, and I think it's because of the cold. It's not that cold outside, but the A/C unit in our room blows cold air all night. Tonight, I put on my bathrobe, and I don't feel as bad as I've been feeling, but my hands still get cold, and I ( Read more... )

My girlfriend was to meet me on the porch or, if the weather was bad or she got bored, by the books-on-tape rack inside. So, I wandered in and out of the country store. I came out and found Ruth sitting on a bench. I greeted her, and she smiled. We got a table and sat down. This was an interesting time, because I have been talking to her since ( Read more... )

Remember this? The bolded statements are true of Ruth. The red statements were wrong. The italicized statements I believe are true but haven't yet verified. The regular text is items I don't yet know.

In retrospect, I realize that when I started my livejournal (way back before the big deletion), I never did introduce myself. I figured that everyone who came to my journal ( Read more... )

It's been a month, and she hasn't contacted me. I guess she doesn't care.

I went to Sirena's journal. I don't know if I can explain what I was thinking. I wanted to tell her that I sometimes miss talking to her, that I don't remember those awkward lapses when there was nothing either of us had to say. Maybe we had those... I don't remember. I was going to tell her that, but I decided not to comment... and I was ( Read more... )

I've been doing some thinking lately about talking ( Read more... )

I spent probably an hour this morning rearranging my computer setup for my 200Wintel. I lowered the keyboard shelf about five inches, along with the mouse pad. This also brought my keyboard almost a foot farther from the monitor, so I hope this will prevent me from putting my face too close to the screen. It will also allow my to use my keyboard ( Read more... )
