This feels a bit naughty
I'm at school right now, using a laptop provided to me for the day because this school marks their absentees online. I have a free period and seemingly unrestricted net access. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing ( Read more... ) -
Better late than never

Still alive
I'm here. I promise I'm reading whenever I can, but I'm pretty ashamed to admit that I've only really read about half of what's been posted in the past few weeks.

Travel Tales Tuesday: Being a gullible foreigner
One of the things I love about travelling is that you meet so many new people and try new things.

Books
I've been trying to clean up my library, and while I'm making progress it's remarkably tough. I've sorted through all my bookcases now, which just leaves all the books that have randomly collected in odd corners around the house ( Read more... ) -
This is why I'm sometimes hesitant to befriend men.
