Well it's only about 33 hours now. What an incredibly weird thought. To be completely honest, I never thought it would work out like this. I thought for sure someone or something would stand in my way. Who knew that my parents would be completely okay with this? Or that a school would eventually want me? I guess I anticipated more of a struggle? Or ( Read more... )

Holy shit!!

I just bought an Oregon Trail CD-ROM on ebay for $3.00. It's supposed to work with windows XP. I am so fucking excited!!! I loved that game when I was younger!

Hours of nostalgic fun ahead for me. And yes, you all will be characters in my morbid journey across the country in a covered wagon.
