Well it's once again been a long time since I've written in here. It seems like I spent a lot more time on LJ in high school. I don't know if that;s because I found my life so much more interesting, or just because my homies all had livejournals they updated pretty regularly back then. My life feels like so much more of a whirlwind now, and I don't ( Read more... )

I haven't written in here all semester, but I happened to look at my page and I don't want to leave my livejournal hanging on such a sad note. A lot has happened and it feels like a million years have gone by since Mike died. It was a terrible thing and it really shook the Benchies for awhile, but I think it also brought everyone a little closer ( Read more... )

I went to a party last night. It was a pretty typical party. Friends, friends of friends, smoking, drinking, some pot, some shrooms. Nikki, Devin, and I left around 12 and went back to Nikki's place, where they watched "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and I, as I do, fell asleep. Devin and I came back home around 4 a.m ( Read more... )

Haven't written on here since the last vacation, which is surprising to me. I usually can't resist recording events and things, but the past month has gone by so fast and been so busy that it really hasn't occurred to me to do an entry until now. Things really picked up for me when I got back from Thanksgiving. It's not that I did so much more or ( Read more... )

School's been good. Still pretty lonely but it has improved. I watched "Tom Jones" with Kake, and we both enjoyed it although we agreed it was pretty fucked up. I LOVE Albert Finney. I'm now President, Vice President, and Treasurer of Spectrum (aka Queen of the Queers, as Grace said). It's not bad but the club has some serious financial issues that ( Read more... )

I'm doing fine. I went to Salem yesterday with Devin, Nikki, and Devin's roommates. Salem's a cute town, full of witch stuff, which would make the Puritans who hanged them 300 years ago pretty pissed. They must be spinning in their graves, some of which we saw when we walked through a really old cemetary. We walked around the town, went to a store ( Read more... )

The last couple of days have been pretty good. On Monday, Jackie and I went to a lecture on the Messiah by Elie Wiesel. It was really interesting, although it was also very warm and we had just eaten so we both dozed off for awhile. The lecture prompted me to read "Night", which was excellent. I can't believe I didn't read it until now. I also ( Read more... )

The last two weeks have been a mix, but my lows never last that long and I'm feelin pretty good right now. Class is good. I like them all except for Statistics, which really cannot be made interesting. It's been a month and already half the class doesn't show up, and the other half falls asleep (myself included). I'm really enjoying interning at ( Read more... )

I've sat down to write an entry about school a few times since I got here, but I've had trouble organizing my thoughts. I think this is because I have very mixed emotions about the place. I've been pleasantly surprised with some things. My room is clean, and a good size, the showers work well, the food is good (there's so much tofu!), and I like my ( Read more... )

It's now my last week home. August was a good month, although it went by surprisingly fast. I spent most of it playing guitar and watching movies. I counted up all the change and singles and I made $280 from playing in the park and CD sales. Not bad, but I think I better go to college anyway. Over the last few weeks I've become totally into Audrey ( Read more... )
