This is ridiculous
I feel terrible. Last night was supposed to be my first night out clubbing. Shannon has a contact working at the Light Ultra club, whose opening night was yesterday. She got me and lots of other people on the guest list; open bar from 9 to 11, it was gonna be awesome. Everybody met up at around 8. We were 11 people ( Read more... ) -
The source of the feeling of isolation

Weaknesses
Right, I guess it's about time I update this thing, now that I have something to update about. I just came back from my Sogo Budo practice and I'm completely beat, both literally and figuratively.

Must be a trap.
So I've been speaking to my friend Chloe. We always talk about everything and nothing, and this time our conversation diverged to the things that annoy us about society (definitely not the first time we touch that subject). I mentionned that I hate the fact that it's not socially-acceptable to strike up a conversation with a stranger in a public ( Read more... ) -
Hmm, I forgot
It seems I forgot to mention one thing on here that happened relatively recently (mid-January). It's probably because it happened right when I decided I shouldn't post so many moody things on this blog. But now that it's passed, I can make a post about it without getting all angsty ( Read more... )
