I've been at Northern Illinois University since August of last year, and for the most part, I really like it here.
Truthfully, the school has a lot of faults, but I can overlook most of them. The rest I have to bury in denial and self-delusion (safety-schmafety! This is a fine institution of higher learning! I don't regret coming here at all!).

Well, I'll Be Dag Nabbed...
It has been a long time since I posted anything here.
Two years, 11 months, 5 days and 18 hours, to be precise (thank you, Elapsed Time Calculator).
The last time I made an entry, I was a studious, somewhat melancholy 20-year-old with a job. I'm now a studious, somewhat melancholy almost-23-year-old who's been jobless for over a year (mostly by ( Read more... ) -

I could go into a long explanation of why I haven't posted in so long and whatnot, but I'm too lazy for that. Just participate in the meme, friends ( Read more... ) -

Wow. The whole area is covered in a blanket of snow, and the flurries are still coming down . . . I'm not looking forward to the drive to school today.
Very pretty to look at, though. ^_^ -
We-ird!
So, I was on my way to class this morning (my mom gave me a ride today). When we stopped at a traffic light, I noticed that someone had honked their horn. However, I hadn't noticed that it was directed at us--or rather--I wasn't sure if it was directed at us. However, moments later I noticed a gray and silver Range Rover pull up beside us.
