i spent my sunday evening drinking coffee and studying at a local cafe. while i was there i couldn't help but notice the interaction taking place behind me. a young man had approached a young woman by the window to ask her about the book she was reading. (which happened to be a book about which foods to eat during particular parts of the lunar ( Read more... )

i know it's november already and i should be well adjusted. i'm really not. i'm still homesick, which i thought might be gone by now. but just lately i've been thinking about everything back home that i kind of took for granted. i knew they meant a lot to me when i was home but now i'm realizing exactly how much they do now that i'm not there ( Read more... )

it's halloween. that's marvelous. i love the smell of autumn and carving out pumpkins (larry and the midnight pinwheel are basically the best ever). i also enjoy seeing all the little kids come to the door in their costumes and handing out candy to them. it makes me sad though that i'm no longer young enough to do that... the costumes seem to get ( Read more... )

i havent written an entry in almost a month. thats not such a bad thing but i figured i'd put one in and procrastinate the things i should be doing right now. everything is really stressful but i'm feeling better about it now because im getting organized. i know what i need to do by when and everyday i assigned a task to complete to make sure i ( Read more... )

as of today it's been 2 years since queenan died. it doesnt seem possible and its hard to think about. i needed to write though, just to make sure no one forgot about him. it's highly doubtful but sometimes the rush of life pushes things to the back of your mind along with the potential lessons we could learn from every experience, good or bad. we ( Read more... )
