None of you people would even recognize me the way I am right now. I've spent all day working with power tools in a shipyard in Rockland Maine. I will be working in this shipyard until September. I walk around all day wearing a hardhat because I live and work in a construction zone. Yeasterday I spent all afternoon down in the hold of a ship ( Read more... )

Magically things always manage to work for me. I truely lead a very charmed life. There are times when I would kill any one who told me that but momentaraly at least it seems to be very true. After slacking off and stressing out I some how have a job working on a schooner in Maine for the rest of the summer. There is my ticket out of Acton. I ( Read more... )

Life in Acton has been hellish as I knew it would be. The charm of being home vanished about 20min after I ( Read more... )

Just got out of Malia's sauna. So sweaty but so enjoyable. Now I'm off to a nice cold shower. Nothing else to say but that I'll be home on Friday. Love you all. Bye

So much has been going on that I can't possibly relate it all now. I am currently in San Jose staying at Malia's house. We drove here from Amherst and it may have been one of the most increadable experiences of my life.

I'm back on livejournal and i'm back in Acton. I've been home for only 9 hours but I hate it already I wandered around the house for about an hour just looking for something interesting to do, when I found nothing I lay down in the back yard and slept. I think I got a sunburn ( Read more... )

Seems like regular life should stop when war starts. Seems like all previous obligations should be stricken from the record. Do I still have to visit Grandma? Do I still have to write papers? read books? apply for jobs? How can it be that life still continues when we are ruining so many lives to far away? This war is so far away ( Read more... )

The world is fucked. Bush is killing all of our futures. I am so scared. I went over to Andi's and lay in bed with her and Aasma and cried. I hate what is happening around me, everywhere.

Being home has not been as bad as I feared. Today has actually been quite pleasant, which may be due to the fact that my parents have gone away for the weekend. I woke up early this morning, around 9am, but then went back to bed and drifted in and out of sleep until almost noon. I then got up and took a shower only to get into my bathrobe and go ( Read more... )

I'm going home in about 2 hours. I do not want to. Despite the work and stress ickiness here I have so much fun. I have very cool friends that I miss after a day of not seeing them so after a week or more I will be very sad. And being home will be just as much work and stress, but without the friends. I suppose it will be ok, there will be ( Read more... )
