The Eaters
It's like being a little girl at one of those interminable dinners that grownups have. The table is miles long, room enough for everyone you've ever met and a few you can't even name, and they're all eating. Every single one of them is passing a bowl, refilling their glasses, carving and serving and slurping their spoons, and you can't stop staring ( Read more... ) -
*slump*
Say you've been working on something--specifically something with words that goes on paper, something that you might be vaguely proud of because there's a chance you might actually FINISH IT and you've been using tips you've picked up from your favorite authors, and then one day you're taking a break and looking at your thing in all its bits and ( Read more... ) -
Ponder ponder ponder
I do occasionally wonder if my desire to write letters to un-named people and then post them on my journal makes me an exhibitionist, or just a drama queen. -

I'm not too proud for hand-me-downs, and it seems like a good ( Read more... ) -

For everyone's information: do not EVER laugh when you have a mouthful of Listerine, even if Jensen Ackles is lip-synching to "Eye of the Tiger". That is all. -
Tarot talk
It's possible that I'm just expecting too much. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened. I've become a collector of Tarot decks without meaning to--in the sense that many of the decks I've acquired turn out to be collector's items rather than decks that are necessarily easy to work with ( Read more... ) -
I don't have appendicitis!
YAY!
That is all. -

In which I am antisocial
My parents are going to a party tonight--someone my sister used to know in highschool is getting married, and our mothers stay in touch. So, party. But not necessarily for me. I've been invited and all, I'm just not sure I'm really in the mood to spend the evening trying not to wince every time I re-introduce myself and answer the inevitable ( Read more... )
