Half an hour or so late, today is May 10th, graduation day. Daryl and I both got our degrees today, which I find charming. I called him earlier to congradulate him, and left a message. I'll talk to him again tomorrow. When I think about my brother and I both holding diplomas, I wonder again back to my parents, and whether or not they could have ( Read more... )

Fell asleep to the rain last night, which is an activity usually reserved for the summer, and something I associate closely with home. At least in my old room back there, I had two windows to be able to hear it in stereo! But we're in (as far as the National Weather Service can say) for a few days of periodic rain, which is unusual for the area ( Read more... )

One week left until school's over. It's finals week and most others are either holed up studying, or buzzing around looking for an excuse to avoid it. Me? I'm looking for a job. After hints being dropped and a bunch of leads followed, I'm still empty handed. I went and interviewed at the bookstore yesterday. We'll see ( Read more... )

Went to go see "Forbidden Kindgom" yesterday with the gang. Quite fun, although laughably cliche at the beginning and end. Jackie Chan seems like he can act circles around Jet Li. review aside though, yesterday was also the opening night for "Expelled". An elderly couple behind us in line bought tickets for it, and as I walked by I wanted to smile ( Read more... )

Did some thinking tonight, so I'm writing it down ( Read more... )

Thanks to my screensaver and Red, we ended up looking over lots of pictures on my computer tonight. These started with photos and videos from Matt and Tiff's wedding. All are hilarious, but the one that sticks out as the oddball (cute, not especially funny) is one of Matt blowing bubbles for a demanding little girl during the reception. Adorable, ( Read more... )

Bad night, first one in quite a while. Well, not exactly bad. Poor control on my part, really, for falling asleep in Matt's room. But it's never bad to wake up in good company, regardless of what's behind the eyelids beforehand. I need to thank him, and Ed too, with much more clarity than I usually do. People aren't aware of how much I owe them, ( Read more... )

For a little while, anyway. Nobody seems to want to wait on spring anymore, we're tired of the cold and the dark. The weather out here never cooperates for long, it's March. Things will oscillate from snowy and freezing to gorgeous and sunny every week until mid April. Already the weather isn't looking too good for spring break ( Read more... )

So I'm finally over the plethora of illnesses that has dogged me as of late. I couldn't be happier, well... maybe I could be if my ribs would heal up and stop shifting me around and making me paranoid about busting a lung in my sleep. Still though, this weekend was amazing. I went for walks, I hung out with the gang, I cooked, and I finally managed ( Read more... )

So the month up to now has pretty much been a wash. Me lying around in bed and feeling like shit. Let's have a recap ( Read more... )
