What a hellish week. I've been an emotional train wreck. But it's fine now. I have a plan.

Been watching Film Noir movies all day on TCM.

I adore autumn.

I'm very excited about Friday and that concert, even if I do have to drive to Columbus.

Cross your fingers that this week turns out better than the last.

 I want to get away from these mountains for a while. I want salty breezes and cobblestone sidewalks, towering cathedrals and crammed passenger trains ( Read more... )

1. Where is the last place you held hands?
On a snow-covered backstreet in Lexington, well past midnight.

2. If you were drafted into a war, would you survive?
I'd like to think so.

3. Do you sleep with the TV on?
Sometimes, if I can't sleep, I'll put on "Casablanca" or "An Affair to Remember."

4. Have you ever drank milk straight out of the carton?
No.

I'm such

complete

idiot.

P.S.

Filled the bathtub full of wine,

bathed and drank the night away...

Last night I dreamt you knocked.

I let you in.

Saw Over the Rhine last night at The Dame. They did everything from the new 
album and a bunch of old stuff that's really fabulous in concert.

It's hard to explain the feel of seeing them live. It's something of a religious 
experience, in my opinion.

Also, I commandeered a set list from a roadie after the show.

Overall, it was another amazing show ( Read more... )

Monday I was reminded, brutally and unexpectedly, that you are not what I want.

You will never, could never, be what I so desperately need you to be. And yet the sting of that acknowledgment 
is still, after all this time, profoundly painful.

I don't know why I even try anymore, why I bother, when it's so obviously futile.

And I am nothing of a ( Read more... )

"Do not pity the dead... Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."

I'm tired.

If anyone does any knitting, crocheting or crafting in general, and is willing to sell some stuff, let's chat. I'm thinking about having a booth at some of the festivals coming up in October, because I like to knit and I need money ( Read more... )

I was finally accepted to NKU's grad school. Now I'm just really stressed about getting everything in order. But I'm sure everything will work out exactly as it should.

So, after nearly 10 years, the adventure is almost over. It's kind of bittersweet, but at this point my excitement is barely contained. It's a good thing I have to work today, or I'd ( Read more... )

My brother and I flew to Chicago this weekend.

It was really spectacular. We were only there Friday and Saturday (we flew out this morning,) but I think we did quite a bit and I have the blisters to prove it. I really enjoyed Chicago and would love to go back. Everyone we met was exceedingly nice and friendly and the downtown area was one of the ( Read more... )
