Well, I've been pretty hush-hush about it, but these past few weeks have been really, really tense for me, and as of yesterday, the proverbial shit has hit the fan.  My Dad and I are barely on speaking terms, calling a brief truce last night that actually is not a truce at all.  Instead, I've been placed in a position where I'm going to have to ( Read more... )

In the post-election days I have found myself simultaneously proud and disgusted by the state of things.  I was, of course, proud that we finally have come to the point as a nation that we can elect an African-American as president---or, rather, more importantly, that we have gone beyond what is thought of as a "Traditional American" to represent ( Read more... )

OBAMA, 44th president!

History has been made today, and it's just so fucking awesome, regardless of who voted for who, that we are all here to witness it---that we are all a part of it.

So it seems that every other time I end up posting on LJ, it's to say "been gone a while..."  And yeah, this time is no different.  Truth is, I've been pretty fucking busy running around and doing things.  I even have a somewhat on the side, just a few evenings a week job now.  I'm officially a tutor.  I've been doing the job for like 3 weeks now, ( Read more... )

So, I've been AWOL from the internets for the last week or so.  I had that test to take just this last Saturday and was studying like crazy.  *sigh*  I'm just soooooooo glad that it's finally over.  Hopefully I did well ( Read more... )

So 4th of July weekend ended up going pretty well.  The convention this year was actually pretty good and it was sweet to stay in a hotel complete with pool, spa and free gym.  It's been far too long since I've been in a pool.  The food was pretty good too, and the convention people chose wisely this year---unlike last time I went and ended up ( Read more... )

So, I'm back here on LJ again after some time.  I think it's been a little over a week since my last post.  Either way, things have been busy and not so busy.  Post-graduate life I've found is...odd.  On the one hand I've been busy running around with people who have been visiting or inviting me over to their place.  Two of my uncles have been in ( Read more... )

So...I'm graduating tomorrow ( Read more... )
