I suppose it's time to break the news: I'm essentially done with this LJ. I've made a new, public, more grown-up blog, so if you're still interested in finding out what I'm up to, please redirect yourself to ( Read more... )

If you like pop/emo/punk (?) type music, and want to listen to an obscure band that no one else has heard of yet, do me a favor and give my cousin Nevada's band a listen (their list of influences includes stuff like New Found Glory, Saves the Day, and AFI).

Katherine and I went to visit Eli yesterday, because he's leaving for the University of North Texas on Wednesday. It was mostly a family party, but I'm so glad I went. The two of them are wonderful to hang out with together, and as we slowly became the last guests in house, we ended up having a lot of really wonderful conversations. It still hasn't ( Read more... )
