So I'm here at school. Alone, for the most part, in my building. I can't wait until Sunday when everyone else moves in. The media retreat is going well already. It's pretty intense, but I was happy to be receiving hugs and hellos and smiles everywhere I went as soon as I arrived on campus. I had been feeling like I was the only one who didn't get ( Read more... )

I can't really seem to decide what it is that I want out of life and what I want from other people. I just feel so restless and dissatisfied with everything. People who are important to me that I thought I was also important to have already gone back to school without so much as a phone call. Others complain that they hate when people don't return ( Read more... )

Whether we have lots of friends now, or simply find solace in the lives of the fictional, I think that we're preparing for life and interactions either way. The former have first-hand experience, while the latter have the more interesting to dream of and things to talk about when perchance they do begin to have friends. Therefore, I've decided that ( Read more... )

So I have this new problem resulting from my employment at the bookstore. I want to spend all of my paychecks from Barnes & Noble IN Barnes & Noble. And umm, it's really hard to resist. 30% of off books and movies and CDs... what more could I possibly want? (Besides maybe clothing and shoes and purses). I love working there so much. I don't think I ( Read more... )

Considering that the average person today lives for about 625,000 hours, falls asleep in an average of seven minutes after lying down, and proceeds to remain out of consciousness for a third of his life, it is sad how often we sit around wasting time and wishing things would be over. I decided this today after pacing around thinking about how bored ( Read more... )

I've been enveloped in a blanket of nostalgia. Since being home, I’ve gone running on the same exact trails I used to, I’ve poked around the high school, I’ve bought groceries at the usual store, I’ve gone shopping at 3 malls, I've renewed my Bodyplex membership, and I've driven the same roads absent-mindedly. I am just really happy to be home. It’ ( Read more... )

How do you mark the passage of time? By holidays? Number of parties? Number of beers? The length of your hair? The amount of money you earned? The amount of money you spent? The number of pictures you took ( Read more... )

I'm never drinking again. Worst night ever. I missed Ben Folds. I cried when I heard it wafting through the window as I hung over a trash can. I still feel shitty 24 hours later. On the bright side, I have fabulous friends. Friends like Brittany who let me sleep in her bed since mine is lofted and I couldn't get into it. Friends like Matt who pat ( Read more... )

Don't you hate when you think people don't have the right perception of you? Take for instance, my philosophy professor. We're simply not on the same wavelength, not to mention the fact that I just don't seem to have any higher thought about philosophical ideas unless I have enough time to ponder, which clearly is more time than we have time for in ( Read more... )

What is the use of this "restore from draft" business if it pulls up the word, "I" after I've written about 5 paragraphs? Grrr ( Read more... )
