Ok. I have been lazy.  Lazy with updating my  journal.  Lazy with cleaning my apt.  Lazy with writing, as I should be doing lots of it, taking 2 writing classes and all.

quick updates to catch up.

My week in Melbourne was hectic and a bit dramatic, but it was nice to see a lot of my family together.   I got to eat my mom's cooking and swim in the ( Read more... )

I haven't abandoned my livejournal again.  I got back from FL  late Monday night and just vegged out yesterday.  I have a lot to write about, and I didn't have a lot of time/opportunity to write while I was home, so be patient.

I have so much to say. So much to write about. I think that's partially why I haven't written in a while. Too much to say, not sure where to even begin. Lots of changes on the way.  Lots of introspection, re-evaluation of choices, etc.  Heavy, right? Tell me about it.

I took this from a myspace bulletin.  So, i'm a little lazy, and it's Friday and I don't have anything particularly interesting to share at the moment, so let's see if anyone's readin'.
