So great, I couldn't let it end without at least writing one entry in my livejournal for the year :) Good lord it's been so long... so much has happened since I last posted nearly two years ago. It's been so long, I had to re-figure out how to even post, haha. In summary, 2007 was horrible miserable detestable, 2008 was beautiful, healing, ( Read more... )

This year I'm a cook at Camp Vermilion, a job that has been both really challenging and really rewarding. I prefer working with children outdoors to working with food indoors, but the people I work with are ( Read more... )

It was a totally sweet deal - we got to support a great candidate, AND he paid us $15 dollars an hour. HELLS YES.Anywho, we were supposed to get our checks a few days after elections were over. Every day for the next two and a half ( Read more... )
