I'm here in MD visiting Owen, one of my good friends from IU. Got here yesterday, and it's been really cool so far! Last night we hung out with Owen's family and some of his friends, and today we drove to Rockville [Owen actually lives in Silver Spring, which is approx. 15 min from Rockville] to go to some stores and eat lunch. Tonight we just had ( Read more... )

i'm going insane. i never knew how much i hated rockville until i came back for the summer. i love being around my mom, but that's about it. i just feel like there's nothing for me here at all. i miss meeting new and interesting people, and being exposed to new things ( Read more... )

my freshman life at IU is slamming to a halt. i'm about to go take my last final, then i have to start packing. the nice thing is that i have two days to just be with my people before i go home. everyone is staying until friday, and we've all been kind of dodging the issue of leaving. once in a while someone will say, "i'm going to be really sad to ( Read more... )

I like to shock people. I'm not sure why exactly, maybe it's because I just don't think people expect certain things out of me. Sometimes I like to say stuff about Rockville that I know my friends here will be appalled at, or will think is hilarious, just to get a rise out of them ( Read more... )
