Wow, Nate's in Paris. I have nothing nearly as cool as that. I am at home again, deathly bored. I miss my boyfriend (what, boyfriend? Yes y'all, I have a brand new shiny little freshman boyfriend. Don't laugh, age ain't nothing but a number, and at least he's legal.) I miss Serena and all my people up in Naptown, and there is absolutely nothing to ( Read more... )

Yeah, so remember how I was doing so well with that whole Ben-left-me thing? I thought I was being all calm and cool and collected. Until I found out that I was not dumped because the love had faded and we were just not perfect for each other any more. I was dumped because he was fucking some chick in speciality foods at the store. Nice, huh ( Read more... )

So I woke up on the right side of bed this morning for the first time since school started. I feel clear-headed and grounded, which I think is the result of actually sleeping through a whole eight hours without nightmares or insomnia. So today has been a day of putting my affairs in order ( Read more... )

So, two weeks and 140-some replies later, I have reached the conclusion of my Craigslist personal ad experiment: Your dad wants to sleep with me. Regardless of the fact that I said that I was 22 and interested in other college-age people only, I got about a hundred replies from married men over 40. After that I deleted the guys who sent only one ( Read more... )

I am so addicted to craigslist. It started while i was working at the library this summer and it was sooo boring. So i'd sit around and look at pictures of furniture I couldn't afford for the appartment I didn't have. Now I've gone the next step and posted an ad. For a date. We'll see how that one works out. I keep telling myself that it's more an ( Read more... )

If memory serves, that's the German phrase for the end of a relationship. Here in America, we say "We broke up". The German translates more closely as "We have made closure". That's much more optimistic. After all, "break up" isn't that far from "break down" when you look at it. There's this connotation of shattering, of less-than-wholeness, of ( Read more... )

New e-mail: Rachel.Shultz@gmail.com. I like it. It's got a nice, simple, easy-to-remember ring to it. I'm slowly phasing out the hotmail account, and will close it in a few weeks. I had that one for going on seven years. Damn sight longer than I've had any other address.

So it's been quite awhile. Mostly becuase things have ground to a halt around here. The next week is the stillest week of the summer on campus. GI's are gone, Febbies are gone, all the offices are closed, and so the library is empty. The only people in here today is us who work here, and the guys steam-cleaning the carpets. I've been occupying ( Read more... )
