Here goes. Not sure if anybody ever reads this anymore, but in case you do, I want to let you know where I am and in waht state. At present I am in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC. I'm marooned on a friends bed, Housesitting for her cats with the air conditioner on until the heat wave passes. What am I doing here? I'm getting a masters in education by ( Read more... )

It has been a long time. I promised I wouldn't post until I had something positive to say. What I bring today is far worse, but in need of voicing. For everybody I know, it has been a rough year. 2005 and now 2006 has negative associations for so many close friends. For the family of Jessica Gregorie, it will probably be the worst year of their ( Read more... )

I just finished an amazing night with Andre and Camille. The hard rain seemed to have woken me up. I feel awake now, not as in not tired, but as in seeing things in front of me, listening, tasting, etc ( Read more... )

I had an interesting weekend. It was my first urban vacation in many weeks now. I left the island an innocent, fragile person and have returned completely beat-up. I was driving down the 45th bridge in the U district when a silly girl slammed into the back of (my grandmother's) lexus. Turns out everything and everybody was okay, but I was shakin in ( Read more... )

During the warm seasons, trees and plants direct their energy upward to create the tiny buds, robust flowers, and green leaves that we all enjoy so much. During the winter season, they redirect their energy downward, to the roots, in order to grow and make themselves stronger for the next year. In this way, I am experiencing a personal winter ( Read more... )

Thank goodness the week has concluded. College threw me off of the week/weekend binary. They blurred, regardless of class schedules. But full-time jobs prompt the familiar smile when the clock strikes 5 on a friday evening. YESSSSSSSS ( Read more... )

My minds a blank. Many things have happened. Faces have moved in front of me, and then away. The sun has risen and set. But my mind is preoccupied. Emotion can be summoned, or it can take control of you, so I've decided. Usually I experience the former, but now, I am at the complete mercy of my feelings. Tyrel really fucked up a bit ago, but I have ( Read more... )

Why cell phones are a pain. I'm not the best at programming frequently used numbers. I usually wait a few days, sometimes weeks before I give them a name and save them. Which means during the in-between-time, I have to check my call history and guess which number belongs to who. Today for instance, I meant to call Camille; instead I called A lady ( Read more... )

Here ends a week of self-indulgence. It began last Monday with a full agenda, and now it ends with light snowfall outside my window, and no power at my sweet pad. In the ever-elusive ways of Sophia, I won't be specific, but I will mention that I've dined with rock stars, driven a stolen car (my grandmother's), and come hom on the 2am ferry 2 times ( Read more... )

Pretty tired of no internet at my house. I dont need tv. I dont need a phone, But give me internet. Today was interesting, and shocking, and strangely convenient. I arrived at the airport at 6:50 am to hop a flight to Spokane for my GRE grad school finale. Turns out, my flight is canceled, and there are no available seats to Spokane until after my ( Read more... )
