Is this what growing up is like? Having to make the tough decisions?
I'm in one of those situations where there is clearly a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do. I know I should do the right thing, and I know what the right thing is. It's just that the wrong thing will unmistakeably benefit me and a few others, while the right thing will most likely hurt me, and anger some of my friends.
I hate how I haven't ( Read more... ) -
Everything sucks--it's just how you deal with that information that dictates how your life goes
To be completely honest, I would have normally posted this on tumblr and not here because I've gotten into the habit of posting my more personal thoughts and rants there because I don't know any many of my tumblr followers personally, and it's easy to talk to strangers. Except for Rachel. I can't avoid Rachel anywhere. heh heh.

a moment between moments
I feel like I've been given this moment. It's the first one I've had to myself in a long while; everything has been class and work and band and life--life, see, that's a new one for me--and I feel like this is the moment to catch my breath. In this comma. Everything's words and sentences, but it all gets blurred if you don't throw in a comma here ( Read more... ) -
Patrick was late to practice again today.
I still don't know what to think.
I had a rough day of classes on Monday; I have to start my week out with a nine a.m. differential equations lecture that usually seems to last about an hour longer than it actually does. Tack an extra two hours on to that because I woke up too late to make coffee. After that, I spent four hours in the EECS lab ( Read more... ) -
A pathetic attempt at an explanation
I haven't written anything in a very long time. And that makes me sad.
But I've been so busy lately, and I'm loving it. I'm only truly happy when I'm too busy to think about things that suck, to put it bluntly, so these past few weeks have been wonderful.
Not just because I've been busy, but because I've fallen in love with marching band all over ( Read more... ) -
In which I demonstrate what happens when one doesn't plan out an entry
I'm reading The Book Thief again. I must be a glutton for punishment or something because it's the most painful book I've ever read. This book does horrible, beautiful things to my heart. I've read it three times before, and it has not yet failed to make me bawl uncontrollably by the end. And yet, I keep coming back. Zusak just has the most ( Read more... ) -
I wrote all this unintentionally
It was only supposed to be a couple sentences to post on tumblr, but it got away from me and I ended up writing this whole freaking thing in the tumblr text editor and I figured I might as well post it here. For the kids playing along at home, this is basically what I was trying to say here.

In which I am somewhat schizophrenic
I got the proof copy of my Nano novel in the mail today and it feels really good. I don't mean it physically feels good--although it does, now that I've mentioned it; it's a bit longer than the other ones so it has a very satisfying weight to it and I used cream-colored paper instead of white paper and for some reason that makes it even more fun to ( Read more... ) -
In November, writing a novel is the most difficult thing in the world. In June, editing it is.
The subject line says it all, folks. When I was writing it I thought it was shit, then when I read it back over I thought it was quite good, then when I wrote more of it I thought it was shit, then when I started editing it it seemed alright, and now that I'm going over it again it's a complete and utter load of the most foul, senseless dribble of ( Read more... ) -
I don't even know why I'm posting this
Everything happened today. Why is it that weeks and weeks of nothing pass by and then everything happens?!?
Okay, I don't mean everything. I really mean everything that could cause me to nerd out. Let's see:
A good man went to war.
River Song is--well, you know. Spoilers.
I got my Warped Tour ticket in the mail.
