Last night, Luci and I went to a concert on campus.  We listened to the band The Silent Years.  My favorite song was “Someone to keep us.”  As we listened to the song, I realized how peaceful and love I feel.  Instead of having “someone” to keep me warm or give me hope, I have a community of friends who warm me with their presences and attention, ( Read more... )

I’m home for fall break and glad to be so.  My room here is so cozy and homey.  Mom and Dad have made quite a few changes in the house as a whole but they are all very nice.

For some reason, every time I make the transition between home and school I think about this unique phase of my life in which I am in this state of limbo.  I wonder how long ( Read more... )

My body can't handle getting 8-10 hours for too long.  Eventually, I am compelled to live off of 3/4 hours to make up for the excessive amounts of sleep I've gotten.  These last two days are a testament of that ( Read more... )

Fall is here.

We'll be drinking more tea in our apartment and bringing more blankets out into the living room.

I am in the mood to listen to Bob Dylan, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and The Wickerpark Soundtrack. 
I want to make apple cake and scones with tea and watch "When Harry Met Sally."
Above all, the weather makes me want to seclude myself ( Read more... )

Sigh.

I miss in-class essays. I know. I’m a geek.  I can’t help it though. I’m finally going through my papers from A.P. English (taken senior year in high school).  Being that I can’t help but get sidetracked I’ve been re-reading essays I wrote in that class.  While this may seem narcissistic, I’ve decided to give you a sampling of my writing ( Read more... )

I was having difficulty deciding whether or not I should write a deep entry or a lighthearted entry but I am sure you all would appreciate something short, so I decided to go with lighthearted and will write the other stuff in my other (handwritten) journal.

Tonight, I found out that, when Jon asked my Dad if he could date Christa (b/c he is ( Read more... )

Maybe, 30 minutes ago, Dad and I arrived home from Ohio with an SUV and trailer packed with furniture and other odds 'n ends from my grandparents’ house.  Dad is cracking me up because he is STILL trying to back the SUV and trailer into our driveway. Wait, maybe he just got it in. Almost. He has about got it into our driveway. I better ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Jon, Christa, Mom, Dad and I were all supposed to go to Greenfield Village. Instead we  ended up mostly lazing about and resting. Dad was a little down about it but the rest of us really needed it.  Saturday and Sunday were two  very emotionally draining days.
Saturday, we began the task of cleaning out my Grandpa's house.  He just moved ( Read more... )

What do you all think of my new background? I wanted something colorful, something happy and exciting.  I loved the tree. Originally, there was a couple kissing in one corner but I didn't like that ,so I erased it in Paint.  The tree is beautiful enough and doesn't serve as a reminder of my singleness.

Tomorrow is my birthday and the first day of my ( Read more... )
