Ok, well I haven't posted anything here in forever, so I thought it was about time seeing as how I just started my new journal (my thirteenth one, I think...assuming that I've completed one a year) with this long reflective entry and figured I would share some of it. of course, i'm going to leave some stuff out because, uh, it's my journal, and i ( Read more... )

You know when you're at the beach, and you're standing in the surf and you've been playing in the waves, when all of a sudden you look up and see this huge wave coming at you and you only have three choices-to try and ride with it, to dive through it and remain unaffected, or to just stand there and let it crash on top of you and get carried away ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago, my aunt and uncle came to visit for a very belated unveiling of my grandpa's headstone, so we were obviously at the cemetery and I saw my grandparents and Sue. I was remembering my grandpa's funeral, which was weird because he died the day before my birthday, but it ended up almost being a good thing because when we went out to lunch ( Read more... )

Well, in a week (less than a week, really) I'll officially be a resident of Allston. This little break in New Paltz was strange. It felt like time was suspended or something, I can't believe it's only three weeks. Maybe because I haven't spent more than a few days at a time here since January, but it was really nice to be here and I got all ( Read more... )

Let's see, since I last update I ( Read more... )
