Yeah though I hate the bastards I'm giving these little yellow dots a chance to carry me through the last of this semester. I'm stretching out the suffering. And what I wonder is... why? What am I punishing myself for? Everybody else seems zeroed in on the summer coming up, and I feel like I can't get my head out of "You're out of time! You're ( Read more... )

I briefly considered a trip to Australia, but decided against it for now in favor of the Kindle because it's cheaper, it will save me money on textbooks for school, and it will make it infinitely nicer to travel. My hope is that I will read more if I incorporate ( Read more... )

Time to get some papers done! I've not written myself into a huge rut this semester. I've been playing "It's A Hit" by Rilo Kiley pretty much on loop for the past couple days to get into the right mindset. 'Just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks...' that's what I keep telling myself. But even the act of throwing stuff at the wall seems to ( Read more... )

Hi LJ. Still single. Have managed to avoid hooking up with anyone: turns out it's quite easy. Spent time with some of the boys back home this weekend. Writing is a habit. Caffeine is a fountain of rage ( Read more... )
