Of yarn and beer and friends and adulthood
I ghost around here from time to time, keeping up with what you each share of your lives, but I mostly like to keep my life to myself.

United States of Whatever
I just want to be a kid again. I hate this reality I'm in (doesn't make me feel better to know you're in it, too) where the government won't listen to the people they represent.

Ike might make Houston his Tina!
We've got a hurricane on the way! I grew up in Houston, so I'm the last person who'll freak out and evacuate over a category 2 or 3 hurricane, but preparations are in order nonetheless! (Really it's just an excuse to buy Gardettos, lol.) We're expecting some flooding, but we're going to stick it out. I know it's morally wrong (whatever), but I ( Read more... )
