Writer's Block: By Any Other Name
If you could rename yourself in real life, what would you choose, and why ( Read more... ) -
Writing a Tutorial
I now know just about everything there is to know about Microsoft Outlook--or everything the average user would need to know, anyway. I had to write a tutorial about it for work. When I first got the assignment, I was excited that I would actually get to do writing on the job. It was almost too good to be true. I'm absolutely desperate to have a ( Read more... ) -
Tornadoes and Hail
I spend a good deal of time in the Colorado College library. During the school year, I do homework and projects there. During the summer, I work in a computer lab in the library's "Learning Commons." I'm worried that I'll end up spending a good portion of my life so far in this building. But now I'm trapped here for an entirely different reason: ( Read more... ) -
The ROUTINE
I'm trapped inside the routine again. Wake up early, drive to work, stay there for eight hours (with a nice long lunch break), drive home, hang out a little bit, eat, try to write, shower, and force myself to go to bed when I'd really like to stay up later ( Read more... ) -
A Road Trip
Today my family and I leave for the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. We have relatives there (specifically, grandparents and cousins) and are looking forward to seeing them. We'll be there a week. It didn't quite hit me that we were going until...this morning. We typically take our vacation later in the summer, but we'll be too busy come July or August. So ( Read more... ) -
Baby Videos
This will be a short entry (by my standards, anyway). Today was my little brother's seventeenth birthday. We had this delicious chocolate cake with strawberries and whipped cream. As part of the celebration, Mom and Dad brought out a video showing Cory at around age two and me at age four. Cory was dressed in nothing but a diaper and a little blue ( Read more... ) -
First post in ages...
Wow. I haven't posted anything to this journal in a couple of years!! I think I got a little overwhelmed with everything I have going on the Internet. Between my four e-mail accounts, Facebook page, and other website, I didn't really want to keep this thing up. Is it any wonder? But I don't check my e-mail quite as often anymore, and my other ( Read more... ) -
The Vulgar Purse
WARNING: I doubt many people will read this. But I've been feeling unusually environmentalistic lately--and that's saying something, my friends. I'm about to ascend my soapbox again (to a chorus of moans and groans, I fear). Please remember that nothing I write in here is directed at any particular person. I'll never use this journal as a pedestal ( Read more... ) -
Blisters
In my first journal entry, I wrote that I wouldn't mind getting the chickenpox. Well, that was a rather bold statement to make. Because I'm sick, I can't participate in my friends' long-awaited trip to Six Flags Elitch's in Denver. And the greater a person's age upon catching chickenpox, the worse the symptoms appear. In both a mental and physical ( Read more... ) -
