This is a different feeling from any I've ever felt before. I've experienced something that is completely unlike what I've ever done before. It was tough, and it hurt a little, but it was just fantastic. And now that I have done it, I just want to do it every day, over and over again. And while I'm a beginner, The trouble is, there's no one I can ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a little while since I've done these! Hopefully I've still retained my ability for razor-sharp wit and astute observations.
SPOILERS FOR SEASON FINALES. WELL, TWO, ANYWAY. I SHOULD REALLY LEARN HOW TO DO AN LJ CUT ONE OF THESE DAYS. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO TEACH ME? ALRIGHT, ENOUGH CAPSLOCK.
On Bones:

• Omg, it's that guy from American Idol ( Read more... )

Sad times, these days. I feel ridiculously lonely, and I thought I would be happier. But enough of this weird, vague shit (we were reading 'Slaughter-House Five' in Lit last week and I've definitely gotten more Vonnegut-y...)
Today was my last day as a junior at Henry Woodfin Grady High School. As soon as I got to school, I was handed one of the ( Read more... )

Man, it's been so busy around here lately- what with testing, Southernerding, and trying not to fail in general. But there's a certain time of the year, in spring, where we can all come together to forget about everything for a day or two and focus on extremely superficial things (men included).
That's right, folks- it's prom time for Grady! (Late, ( Read more... )

Well, as you may have concluded from my lack of an entry in the past week that we made it to London on Monday! I would've given an update or two, but of the two times that internet access was available to me, I was paying for it, and it was timed. (1 pound for 10 minutes... what a ripoff!) Needless to say, I spent that time for sending emails to my ( Read more... )

Remember how I said I'd be in Europe right this very moment, last entry? Well... I'm not. (Actually, I can't remember if I said it or not, so...) Yesterday, I was supposed to board a flight to Gatwick Airport, but it was not to be. Our flight was canceled. We waited around for a solution for three-odd hours, lugging our stuff with us, then waiting ( Read more... )

That is officially my favorite phrase now.

So, now that I am officially in the homestretch for spring break, I'm getting a little bit of premature senioritus... not good, if I want to finish my NAEP story, impress my S'ner editors and possibly join their ranks next year. Ah well, it shall all go.
Time for bullet points!

• So, I'm going to Europe in -5 ( Read more... )

Lord, I got 'em so bad... well, folks, this week I'm wading through standardized testing, but I thought I'd give a rare update anyhow. Bullet point time!
-I finally watched 'No Country For Old Men' the other day... and unexpectedly fell in love with Anton Chirgurh and the man who plays him, Javier Bardem. (My god, during that scene where he patched ( Read more... )

Oh, what do I love? A difficult question. Not easy to answer in any one way. First, you have to start with love itself. My understanding  of it has evolved as I've gotten older. When love was once one color, now it is a vibrant spectrum that fuels my life and gives me inspiration and hope.
The only things that I have ever fallen in love with are ( Read more... )

Ah, I love politics so much.
So polls here in Georgia closed about 2 hours ago, and on the democratic side, we've already gone for Obama- yay! But curiously, it's the Republican race that's getting the most attention.
Apparently, we can't quite call the Republican GA race because it's a tight three-way with Huckabee in the lead, followed closely by ( Read more... )
