So, I've been feeling pretty crappy [physically] for a while now and yesterday it culminated into this nasty cold-like thing. I'm super congested and I get awful headaches that feel like my eyeball is going to explode. And that's ok, I can deal with that. But you see, I am a sucker, and I agreed to take in these 5 orphaned kittens that need to be ( Read more... )

You say the little efforts that I make will do no good,
That they will never prevail
To tip the scale
Where life hangs in the balance…
Perhaps I never thought they would.

Today was a good day.

Erik is the best boyfriend ever. We had an amazing Valentine's Day. He got me flowers, a card, a dozen bunny eggs, gourmet brownies, penguin stuff, and a digital camera - and then he cooked me a delicious dinner. I love him.

i've seen a lot of people lately, and i must say i do enjoy it. hanging out with john, obert and kyle playing canasta; chilling out on my couch all night talking to micaela; movie with her and javi last night (rumor has it = just as awful as i had anticipated. 2 redeeming qualities = brevity and shirley maclaine). trapping with amity. theres more, ( Read more... )

i had this dream last night where my daddy called me. he sounded very happy. he asked me if i could clear my schedule for a few days to do him a favor, and i said of course. he asked me to come and get him. i asked him if i would have to die, and he said: "well, of course you would, baby, i'm in heaven." i wasn't afraid to die, but i was afraid ( Read more... )

So, since we don't really feel comfortable at alcohol-flavored parties [read: virually every NYE event], erik and i will be staying at home and watching movies with micaela and whoever else cares to join us ( Read more... )
