So, I am in the midst of a paper writing filled final weekend before school is out. And I am reminded that a time in my life where almost every weekend was like this was my Junior year at Reed--spring '03. During this time I was having an emotional affair with a nice boy in Iowa and oh yeah-- The President started a stupid fucking war. Now I am in ( Read more... )

In the latest development of things that have slightly changed about me since I graduated nearly 3 months ago-- I fear that I am turning my back on fiction books.
