Over the last year or two, I have developed a philosophy which some consider unusual. I believe that everyone's moods vary around a set point-- meaning that sometimes they will be more positive, other times more negative, but in general these average out to a mostly constant point that's different for everyone ( Read more... )

I went to a Death Cab for Cutie concert tonight, and it was bloody amazing.

I am sitting here, awake again-- some would say bored. I'm letting my mind wander back and forth, and I end up thinking about old friends. I spoke to a friend yesterday that I've been in contact with on and off for six years or so. Six years is a long time; I was starting high school then. Of course, you don't really notice yourself changing so ( Read more... )
