back from falling off the edge of the earth
I PROMISE I am making a concerted effort to crawl out from underneath my rock.
Oh! And I read this in the new Emily Post etiquette anthology and it made me happy:
"Four Things Etiquette Is Not:
A set of rigid rules. Manners change witht the times (something Emily Post emphasized from the beginning) and today are more flexible than ever before. ( Read more... ) -
the good, the bad, the crazy
So I talked to the doctor and it looks like I'll have to try a new food-elimination diet for the next 10 days. Something about candida, I dunno. All I know is no processed carbs, no white bread, no sugar, no fruit, etc etc. I honestly think I'd rather just die of food allergies.
But the good news is: I got my official letter of acceptance from ( Read more... ) -
a little shameless self-promotion
So I entered a scholarship photo contest and the more views and votes I get, the more likely I am to win. If I do, this will get me a little closer to England, so please take a sec and click here:

cross your fingers
I've finally sent out all the materials to Regent's, so it's in their hands now.
Unfortunately, I bombed ONE class my final semester so of course that tanked my great GPA, bringing it from a consistent 3.8 to a 3.43, which fucked me over for graduating with any sort of honors. And a lot of the cut-off's for transfers are 3.5 so I'm praying they let ( Read more... ) -
cleaning out the junk
I'm really trying to pare down b/c all the stuff is making me crazy. But it seems like every time I think I've purged a lot, I look around and it doesn't seem to have made a big difference. It's just like that bizarre phenomenon when you go shopping for clothes or make-up and you feel you've really branched out, and then you come home and you're ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: In Memoriam
My grandfather, a vet of the Korean war, who loved his time in the Navy and would've continued to serve as long as he could if he didn't have to come home to take care of his family when his father died. He was a real man - took care of his family, was always there for every important event, and was someone you could always count on when bad ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes I feel like I have no friends anymore. I can't explain it... it just... feels lonely sometimes I guess. Part of it's my own fault so hey.
Not that my family has been like racking up the awesome points. I'm so hurt and angry about what's transpired that I'm disgusted and over it. I'm always the family-before-everything, hey-everyone-let ( Read more... ) -
quickie
Feeling a bit weak and dizzy. Had a bit of a stomach thing again last night. I was of course crying to my mother that I'm so over something always being wrong with me. It's like 2009 was the year my gall bladder decided to totally freaking out. Today I'm hanging out in bed trying to get 100% again. I can't freaking stand having to delay all my ( Read more... )
