I love kids from McGill. I was going to write about something else, but then I realized that seems to be what's on my mind, so I figured I'd just throw it out there. I don't know if it's because they're all still shiny and new to me or what, but everyone is just so friendly and warm and comfortable. And interesting! And I could continue on with the ( Read more... )

With the toes eaten through and the soles completely torn out, it was time to say goodbye to my old shoes. Farewell, dear friends, you were good to me.

Of course, this means it's time for new shoes, and I was lucky enough to find some nice cute vegan sneakers. Obviously by "cute" I mean glaringly colorful and looking like they were designed by a ( Read more... )

Watching a movie about penguins totally made me want to snuggle. It's a good thing I still have stuffed animals. [Oh shit! Did I just admit how lame I am online where anyone can read it? Oh well, you would've found out SOMETIME anyway ( Read more... )

Oddly, I had no problem at all with Minerva, and was able to get into everything I wanted quickly and without much trouble.  So, in case anyone's interested:

I must say, I was totally blown away by the response I got to my last post. You kids are incredible, really. I feel all... supported and loved and comfortable in my neurotics again.

Finally found a bit of wi-fi connection in a North Carolina library, so I figured I'd post just so you all know I'm still alive and, surprisingly, no more Christian than when I left. Heh, I don't mean to be facetious about religion. Then again, maybe I do. It's hard not to when I'm here ( Read more... )

Well, my parents made it home fine, and I must admit it's kind of nice to have someone in the house other than the bird (who treats me with loud antagonism). And of course there's the whole "last summer before college parent-child bonding" thing. I realize how I have such an love of sharing/processing my day every evening, even when nothing in ( Read more... )

See, in this free time I could be doing many things. I could be reading my book. I could be cleaning so the house will be spick and span when my parents get home on Saturday. I could be writing. I could be trying to fix the disaster I created in my room. I could even be working on a special gift for a friend, whose birthday I already missed. But no ( Read more... )

So, somehow I took the simple act of watering the plants and ended up with a huge lump and a lot of blood on the top of my head. I can't see exactly what's up because of my hair, but it hurts like a fucker, with a headache to boot. So much for the theory that I can handle domestic chores ;)
