Internet's sketch until I get the damn comp guys here to fix it/get me a new computer. I promise to log on every other day.

That being said,

Your friendship is like the sunrise. I might not see you behind cloudy skies, but I know you're always there. The constancy is something I respect, and value, even if I don't always tell you.

Your friendship is ( Read more... )

The heat of La Chureca can overwhelm you. The gases rise up on either side of you, and seemingly random piles of garbage release toxic plumes of smoke into the air. The methane caught beneath the surface could burst into flames at any moment, engulfing the entire dump, and killing thousands. Right beneath the surface, like a physical, society-wide ( Read more... )

I am struggling to put together what 'need' would mean to my character. What it feels like when someone says "I need you" for the first time (in an entirely nonsexual/unromantic sense). Of all the senses I write, I have the easiest time with touch and hearing. I am so touch-sensitive to everything, and my hearing's so sensitive that I think that's ( Read more... )

The character Emily in this new Heir is...well, she's just too much like me. She's striking so close to home that it's painful to write her, and exhilirating too. The freedom I found in Nicaragua I'm giving her, certain pieces of knowledge that I daren't write here because well yeah. People I strongly dislike still read this and it feels like ( Read more... )

I know people who may enjoy reading this poem, for whom it may strike true for someone in their life or for the wanting of someone in their life.

Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
So that I live by you unaware

4 Flights and 50 hours later, I'm home in the States. I'm on Dad's comp becuase mine sucks so for tonight, I can't get on AoG, probably can't ( Read more... )

I will be in Nicaragua May 21st through 31st. I will not have internet May 20th through June 1st. I will not be answering my cellphone on May 20th, but will turn it back on May 31st when I land in Pittsburgh (roughly 10:30pm). No news is good news. There's absolutely no way I can reach about anything, so don't have an emergency and I won't be able ( Read more... )

Damn you're going to miss me when I'm gone. You don't even know it, but you will. I hope you regret things you've said to me. I hope you regret them.

6 days to Nicaragua. I have a new passport.

I'm trying to coerce Caitlin and her Girl to come with me to the zoo on Wednesday

Post secrets made and never sent:

Sometimes, I wish I hurt as much as you do, so that we could relate more

There's too much distance between us, even when we're sitting side by side---I regret telling you I love you

Holding onto you requires more courage than letting go

no matter what, i know that you'll be there

when the night is particularly scary, I ( Read more... )
