this is my tenth day living with my new roommate. he is very sweet, makes me meals, snuggles at night, lets me turn on the heat, and didn't complain when i hung girly curtains on his windows. and also, he loves me (and has for eight hundred and eighteen days)!

my life has completely changed over from being awake in the day to being awake at night. even if i sleep all night to try and reverse myself, i'll just keep sleeping straight through to the next night. i can't win. which is why i'm up at 4am writing in my livejournal ( Read more... )
