So I suddenly took a major LJ break and didn't post for a while. Nothing super significant has taken place in my little world however. My mom and Duance have split up in an extremely turbulent fashion (along the lines of Duane getting arrested). Such is my family. I haven't heard from my Dad in a long time. I feel like I should be strong enough to ( Read more... )

The Incredibles was the funniest movie I've been to in years. I can't say enough good things. My god, I laughed so hard. The baby....

The short at the beginning was so endearing as well. I love Pixar.

West Coast Swing conventions are always so much fun. Simply put: Monster Mash was a blast. Despite being a pretty small event I felt the production value was very nice ( Read more... )

Alright. Went back to a simple layout. Despite my occasionally insane desire to complicate my life, I need to remember that I'm simple and keep expressions of myself simple as well. I changed my journal layout again and I think I'm happy with it ( Read more... )

I am the rock. I solve problems, hear complaints, offer support, and deal with everyone's hardships. I'm self-sacrificial. I am the rock on which they lean.

This rock is starting to crack though. It needs to rest.

After several days I don't know if I like my new layout, especially when viewing my friends. More tweaking is in order when I have time ( Read more... )
