I'm freaking out and I can't stop crying.  I think something may be seriously wrong with me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Home again for the weekend.  Dad’s off to the annual Native American Basketmaker’s Fair, so I came home to keep Mom company.  I’m typing this up and I’ll post it later when I get online.

We went to see I Am Legend, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed.  I loved the book so much when I read it in high school; it was such a disturbingly ( Read more... )

Seriously, text message spam?  This isn't just normal email spam folks, it costs money to receive this spam.  I don't want to pay for spam.
