Andy is living in Austin. I'll never understand why that place is so captivating. The only decent person I know there is Melissa, and she's dating a guy that beats her. When did everything become so complicated? People moving away, doing drugs, doing people. I'm a little worried for Andy's safety. He used to be so smart and sweet. I wish we could ( Read more... )

My father left my mother when I was 12. Yes, I come from a broken home, but i myself am not broken. The result of my dad's absence was my grandparents filling the void. We lived out in the country and my grandparents lived within walking distance. They served as parental units #2 and #3. They cooked for us, provided for us and spoiled us rotten. I ( Read more... )

I'm here...stuck at work...alone. Normally this wouldnt be a bad thing because some of the people I work with annoy me on many levels. But today, Friday, I was wanting to hang out with people, answer phones, and talk. But alas, they have all left me not to return until 6:00 to pick up their paychecks.
