hello everybody!

I feel so uninspired right now.  SOO uninspired.  I don't think I've gotten any real work done for the past few weeks; I've been going to bed past 5am and then waking up at 2pm whenever I can.  It's really not the right sleep cycle for me.  I never really thought about it before but the way I feel after waking up every afternoon ( Read more... )

I never woulda thunk, but firm sweet grapes and tomatoes actually taste pretty good together.  And that's my discovery of the day ( Read more... )

Has anyone else been having recurring nightmares (or maybe they're good dreams, for you) about scenes from the end of the school year ( Read more... )

This is a letter to a former best friend that I wrote at 2am this morning after four hours of tossing, turning, gnashing my teeth, glaring at the ceiling and mentally swearing at myself.  Even though I wrote it with one person in mind, I think it reflects the way I feel about leaving all my friends.  Although the "drifting apart" thing doesn't ( Read more... )

Rows upon rows of students filled the cavernous gymnasium, all intensely focussed on one goal: to successfully complete their scheduled exams.  The huge space was almost entirely devoid of sound, naturally.  And then I sneezed and it was like thunder. 

When six people from three generations sit down to eat together, the conversation is always lively.

Grandma: Today on the bus we saw this young man, probably eighteen, nineteen, wearing the largest earphones you ever saw.  He kept bouncing around, like a maniac, so we decided to stay away from him because he might be violently mental.

The grad breakfast started off today very nicely.  I nearly cried when thanking Mme Constantin, but not quite.  The food was...interesting.  I did like the strawberries and the "cheese" bread/sandwich item.  Most of the time I sat beside Mr. Kronberg - he is really very funny.  He gave us lots of Kronberg-style marriage advice, which was highly ( Read more... )
