I got one of the best presents I ever received in my life today! As everyone knows, I pretty much grew up in the woods in between my home and my best friends. Last year when I got into Nashville, after the storm, I went to visit those woods to regain my center of gravity and revisit the place where I was happiest in my life, only to find that they ( Read more... )

I just got accepted into the Tulane Criminal Law Clinic for the Fall and Spring semesters. That means that come Fall I will actually be doing all the stuff that a licensed lawyer does, under the supervision of Professors. Which means that not only will it look great on my resume, but more importantly, my first real client won't be a virtual guinea ( Read more... )

73 hours to go. 73 hours and Wonka's plane arrives in the Big Easy!!!! I'm as excited as a little kid forced to go to bed on Christmas Eve! So much fun to be had!!!!

Last week was spent working almost non-stop on a paper about Post traumatic Stress Disorder as a possible criminal defense for those picked up by the police during the hurricane Katrina fiasco. As usual, what should have been a simple paper to write got more and more complicated as I decided to do more and more research about any little ( Read more... )

So Mardi Gras happened again. Thursday morning saw lunch with a friend from Portland who was in town with his train. The first time I met this guy he was a little kid with a crush on my boyfriend. Now he's all growed up and makes me proud as hell how he's living his life and exploring the country. Even more bonus was that this time, unlike his last ( Read more... )

Last night I hung out with a really cool guy. Nothing too intense, just shopping, dinner and watching part of Barbershop 2, but it was the best time I've had on a psuedo-date in almost a year. As NIN says, "There's nothing quite like the feel of something new."

There is only so much of a crab walk that I can stand. If my roomate wants to throw a pity party and then try to blame me for it, then so fucking be it. I refuse to walk on egg shells in my own house. In the immortal words of the old me "fuck 'em and feed em beans they ain't worth steak." As much as I like him, I will simply find a replacement if ( Read more... )

I'm either finally losing my mind, or I'm sinking into some ridiculous depression. Whichever it is, I need to quit being a pussy and snap out of it. I just wish that ANYTHING would come easy for me these days ( Read more... )
