End of the semester a success. A confusing mixture of positives and negatives in my classes, but either way I feel like much better equipped to deal with the failures ( Read more... )

About to finish the fifth season of Six Feet Under. I love the show so much, but these final episodes give me so much anxiety to watch because everything's arriving at such a painfully disonant end. I haven't really experienced the unnatural death of someone very close to me yet in my life, and I worry about when that's going to happen because it's ( Read more... )

I'd like to propose a post ( Read more... )

Do you remember the fairs your school would host when you were a child? My favorite activity was the cake-walk. I won several cakes every year, though I think my favorite was this disgustingly decadent cake covered in white frosting and Skittles....now it sounds repulsive. Why can't life be easy as a cake-walk? "Winner every time ( Read more... )

Let the quest for grants and dollar signs begin! My mother proposes that I work 13 hour days this summer between two jobs. I've never thought about working that hard, but I think I should push myself. Prepare for a time of scrounging and scouraging for cents. It's gonna be good for me ( Read more... )

Today on a visit with my alzheimers plagued grandmother she mentioned to me the importance of keeping a journal and the innability to really retain what goes on in our daily live's without one. I need to update this more often. I think this moment in my life is a good one to habitualize daily writings. We'll see if I can keep up. My level of ( Read more... )

So much to talk about, though I'm afraid that all of my hometown revelations will have to wait until I'm back in Houston and I have a moment or two to myself. Doling yourself out to old friends is exhausting and wonderful.

 Damn, it feels good be a Hoosier again. I hopped several stones getting here (Dallas and Kansas city,) and I thought the flight might be intense for me, but I was just fine. I don't know why all of the sudden I think I'm going to die on every flight I take because I've been on planes often since I was very little. Last night I went out to dinner ( Read more... )

Last night my mind decided to rebel against my body. My third official "panick attack" occurred, but I really just felt like a mild LSD trip that I didn't instigate. Apparently when I follow the pattern of getting completely wasted (cast party), sans hangover, and then watch dark films with the 2008 Academy Award winning actors my brain freaks the ( Read more... )

The most official of all the cast parties occurred last night. It was nice. I got too drunk, and then I drove, which was truly an awful decision and I'm upset with myself. How can I do something like that after seeing the ramifications inflicted on others? I need to grow up. Anyhow, the party was an interesting one. Turns out the band live in (most ( Read more... )
