Reading "Maigret Tend Un Piege". Procrastinating furiously. Frustrated by goat in the corner of my eye. Six Flags on Monday, but before then I've got to fininsh "Science Stuff To Know". Mr. Ross is a senile sociopath ( Read more... )

My genius story. As promised ( Read more... )

It's so darn close. A month til camp! And, unfortunately, showcase this Friday. How much does that suck? I've got a fairy story to publish. Remind me... well, okay, obviously you can't, because you're a pathetic little website, but I'm going to say it anyway ( Read more... )

I've attached the Y-I-R poem to the end. Life update... Friday was a snow day. We got some snow but the predicted ice, which I think lead to a snow day being called in the first place, never came. I just saw this AWESOME movie called Across the Universe, which is a pretty standard '60s love story set to Beatles music. Uncle Stu came today, and ( Read more... )

I lied about the short story thing. First, I think, a year in review is in order: some 'me' stuff, some world-wide. Every known media source is doing it... why shouldn't I join the fun ( Read more... )

Well. Have officially been keeping this journal for nearly a year. Very exciting. I'm two-thirds of the way through winter break, and yet, still no snow. Cool dinner party last night with the Keiths and Melhams. My voice hurts and my dignity is not entirely entact, but otherwise, all is well. I have played far too much Rock Band. I am such a ( Read more... )

Well. Today has kinda sucked so far. Yesterday was my first day back home... we were in Japan then Taiwan for a few days, and I'm grateful to be in a place where the majority of the people I come across have a common language with me. It's nice. Yesterday I went running and made myself sick- blacked out for a second and nearly threw up, but don ( Read more... )

The thing is, right now I'm in Japan, Tokyo, in an apartment that's too small and I'm actually supposed to be writing something meaningful in Word Processing, but instead I'm updating a LiveJournal I came very close to abandoning. A new generation of anticlimactic short stories should be coming soon, because I've finally gotten around to writing ( Read more... )

My ear is filled with the thick tan carpet, the surface imprinting my cheek and irritating the far corner of my eye. There's muffled screaming downstairs, and while the coarse polyester fibers soften the noise the do nothing to soften the screeching anger. My mother's, actually, the one yelling. My father's voice is low, alternating between ( Read more... )

Whoohooo! It snowed last night. I got the day off, but on the downside, the power's been out for, like, twelve hours. PECO, in its usual unhelpful, automated incompetence, says that if the power's not back on by tonight, it'll be days ( Read more... )
