I applied for summer academy and...

I got the job! I shall be teaching summer school!

Thank goodness. I can almost see clear of the debt shadowing my wake.

Wrote a Luna piece for springtime_gen a while ago. Upon reflection, it is one of the better things I've ever written, so I've been excited for the reveal. Many thanks go to truffle_shuffle for acting as beta. (You are an asset to my writing, for sure.)

I went to a party last night and was supremely uncomfortable - though, if asked, I have no idea why. Now, it feels like five or six wasted hours of my life, since I hate that kind of situation -of course, no one likes feeling uncomfortable.

I just wanted to post something really quickly, something along the lines of "I'm still alive" and "I've just been out of town" and "I'm working diligently to catch up on your lives."

Newsiest News: I flew home to visit my folks over my school's spring break. I did not talk to anyone under the age of 18 the entire time. *sigh of relief* Also ( Read more... )

Nikki: That's because you're not Greek.

Juan: Yeah, thank god. What's with these people, anyway? Playing [Olympic] games naked. Marrying their sisters. Having babies ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here going through an old journal, and I found this list that I made after my truly disastrous break-up several years ago. It was made in the spirit of laughter and the realization that there is no such thing as a Prince Charming. Men are human, too.
