Well I'm back in Blacksburg. As unfortunate as the circumstances were, it was nice to be home. I got to see a few friends and family members I hadn't seen in quite some time, and after we all got together at the wake and many of us had a few drinks I think everybody felt like things were going to be OK. Things are going to feel different without ( Read more... )

There was a knock at the door and neither Wayne nor myself had any idea who it could be. That's a rare thing living in Thomas hall, since no one in their right mind would venture this far to the outskirts of campus just to visit us, when they know a phone call will bring either of us running to them, grateful to get out of the all-male, ROTC- ( Read more... )

A fortune cookie has never steered me wrong before...so what's so thrilling that lies ahead for me? I mean there's a huge liquor party tonight but that can't be it. I look forward to watching this one unfold. Because seriously, I'm about due for a thrill.

Shortly after 5:00 in the morning, I went outside for a cigarette. Yeah, I should've been sleeping, but that would make entirely too much sense. So anyway, I was standing out there in front of the doors, freezing my ass off and getting my nicotine fix, and I decided I was sick of it. So I said to myself, "Fuck this," I put out my half-smoked ( Read more... )
