Tonight I feel better than I have in a long time. Summer decides itself as a break, and drips purpose - despite me having no schedule to speak of that would be affected by the season change, I am nostalgic and motivated artistically. I hear songs on the radio that I like; I answer phone calls from friends and talk at length or briefly, for no ( Read more... )

Yesterday I read fervently as my fiance toiled at his job as the kitchen manager of the night shift at ryan's steakhouse - a respectable iowan establishment at which I could never bring myself to eat. Upon his return to our humble apartment, he found me splayed on the bed, true crimes novels I'd reread for at least the tenth time each haloing me, ( Read more... )

Do people even give a shit about livejournal anymore? Why should they when we, as a species, have evolved to the point where even people who aren't horrifically awkward socially are posting what they're up to at any given moment all up in the internet?
