Even though I hardly count as a member of this fine establishment we call the LiveJournal community, I will be taking my final farewell from it, simply because it (and my other blog-type-thingys) are far too distracting to allow me to do those deeds that require my time ( Read more... )

Things are swell. It's taking a while to get back into the flow of school, but what can you expect. I have plenty of things I'd like to learn about and no drive to learn them. I went to Favonius (West High's literary clubmadoohickey) after school today and am now compelled to write a glorious work of poetry. We'll see how that goes. I'm also ( Read more... )

I'm in another one of those transition phases (which, to be honest, are probably [and hopefully] going to continue for the rest of my life). I'm questioning a lot more than I did for the last few months, which is a good feeling, even if I don't come up with any conclusions ( Read more... )

My grandma passed away this morning. I didn't get to see her before I left for school, but my mom and aunt stayed with her and they said it was exactly how she wanted it to be. She was certain that it was her time, and was talking about what came next ("I wonder if Harold (her first husband) will recognize me... I wonder what he looks like now ( Read more... )

Just as a warning, with the coming of school and all I am going to be updating and checking this even less than I have been. I've decided to take on this year as a chance to learn as much as I can and not get distracted by the computer screen. I may check in on weekends. Eh? Eh.

By the way, I really like all of you.

I love Camp Wapsie so much. But I don't think I want to go back, not right now ( Read more... )

Music has become such a big part of my life lately. I have surrounded myself with it for at least 12 hours of each day for a majority of the summer. It's also the only thing that I'm really interested in continuing past high school. The other subjects are fine, but nothing else sticks out to me. My trombone teacher gave me a big speech on how ( Read more... )
