I have moved! And I finally have internet at my apartment! Let's see, what's new with me. Well, I now live in a lovely apartment in St. Louis. I have a nice roommate who is away for the next 2.5 weeks. The only bad thing is that we don't have air conditioning and at 10:30 at night weather.com says it still feel over 100 degrees. I just took a cold ( Read more... )

Oh yeah. Would anyone who has photoshop care to do me a big favor and fix a picture of me with dark hair? Like, almost black? I have wanted to dye my hair darkest brown for such a long time but I'm always so afraid it'll be awful and not come out when I want my blonde back. One little photoshopped picture could change all that. Please!!

I got my driving permit today. It was me and a bunch of 15 year olds and I beat their asses down on the road sign test. Yeah bitches, I don't need the word 'STOP' to know that an octagon means no go. Tomorrow I get to go driving and hopefully will not drive on a curb or anything. As long as I can manage driving around the block a couple of times ( Read more... )

I miss my dad. I want to hug him and walk into another room and say hello and ask him if he needs anything and see him petting the dog. He wanted to die. I knew that for months. But I wanted him to be here for me and for me to be able to make him happy ( Read more... )

I'll be really happy once I get settled in here and find people who don't feel it necessary to shout "Oh my goooood" or make jokes in poor taste at every commercial or mention of Brokeback Mountain. I also look forward to meeting people who don't find marriage by age 21 typical. I hope to identify and move to a part of the city with some character ( Read more... )

My dad's funeral was today. It was awful. I'm currently packing up everything I want/need from my house, as I have to leave tomorrow morning and can never come back ( Read more... )
