I have this fear - if that's the right word for it, and it may not be - of wanting things. I don't like wanting something I can't afford, have, win or achieve. The moment I admit a desire I have an obligation to realize it or else ( Read more... )

I had very possibly the most enjoyable evening of karaoke I've ever had in my life last night. I really, really wish both Jonnie and Sean Morgan coulda been around for it.

Went to the Boiler Room with Nikki, Phil, Brendan and Nikki's friend Katie. We all, I think, had a freaking blast. The cool thing about the Boiler Room is that people get ( Read more... )
