"But wouldn't it be more striking with a white shirt?" Brent said to me once. I don't think I have looked at my style in quite the same way since. I hadn't really realized how much of the way I looked said "don't notice me." Now, with his help, I think about it a lot more - not just what I wear, but how I move, the way I say things, etc. Of course ( Read more... )

Skipped my environmental design class today. I didn't mean too; I was telling myself I should go. But I really felt like crap. The tea only prevents cramps if I drink it before they become debilitating...

Sometimes I wonder how we're ever together at all. Our last fight was last night (Friday night, that is, as it's now after midnight). Only about a week before that we weren't really speaking. And I think the longest time that we've ever been continuously, officially dating is still when he first asked me out when we were together from the end of ( Read more... )

I was there last night, dressed at Catwoman.
Heath Ledger was brilliant. So young. So talented. I wish him peace.
