I woke up sick the other day and I'm still feeling pretty awful. I'm on the antibiotics my dr perscribed and sleeping as much as possible, but I'm still sick. I think that's fairly normal, to not be perfectly healed by day 3 of antibiotics. My mom is driving me crazy! She's constantly touching my face to see if I have a fever (I wonder if she saw ( Read more... )

take the chance today to tell the people that you love that you love them. Even if you're fighting. Even if it's awkward. You never know when they need to hear it or when you'll get to say it again, so just say it. Text it. Email it. There are too many damn things in this world that can separate you from your loved ones. Love won't fix problems, ( Read more... )

As I discussed in my last post, I am starting a series of month long challeneges. Challenge one is no talking for a month. Rather than re-do this blog, though, I have decided to start fresh. So, if you wish to read my new blog, here you go.

So, I've been writing this book. It's a new edition of Twelfth Night, designed to help high school students understand Shakespeare better since a lot of teachers don't know how to teach it. Written in novel format, it is mostly written to help a student "see" a production since a lot of schools don't actually take kids to see plays. One of my ( Read more... )

As you probably know, I just moved from Maryland to Florida. While in Florida (for now at least) I will be working on my book instead of working at a job. This freedom in my life has gotten me to thinking about what I can do with it. One of the things I have wanted to do for a while is take a month and not talk. If you know me, you know that that ( Read more... )

I don't know if y'all know of my letters project, so I will 'splain. At the start of this school year, I looked back on the last year of my life. If you are unaware, I graduated with my master's in Shakespeare last May. It was, without a doubt, the hardest, most stressful time of my life. Granted, I think that had a lot to do with my advisor ( Read more... )

Hello my LJ friends. Since I met most of you in the beloved town of Staunton, I thought I would pass along the joys of my trip there ( Read more... )

Brian and I haven't spoken much since the break up in November. He's texted me a few times expressing interest in seeing me to give me my Christmas present and I've been kind of like, "Okay, maybe later." I'll occasionally get random messages from him like, "Just so you know, you can always talk to me." The one time I didn't respond, he texted me a ( Read more... )

people attack me on my own facebook wall. If you don't like what I say on my status message, ignore it. Don't start insulting the things I like just because you don't agree with me. Grrr.

So, for anyone who is interested in what goes on with Brian and me, I figured I would update. He's being a douche. He's earned the right to be a douche, but I think he is abusing that right. He was supposed to go with me to Vegas for my sister's wedding. As you may know, I have not wanted to be with him for some time now and I realized that, if the ( Read more... )
