I'm only sort of ashamed to admit that, per Carolyn's recommendation, I am now irreconcilably addicted to Gossip Girls on the CW ( Read more... )

I don't know what to say. Oh, I'm at the beach, and our wireless is down, so if you need to talk to me, call my cell.

Her loss is my compass
Pointing toward change
I feel her absence
I am guided
by her memory
I am driven

On which I will leave, too
But for now, I am here
And she's gone.
