Well, it is my last night in Welch, WV . . . and all I can say is that it has been a mind-blowing experience all-round. Three weeks cut off from the world; Appalachian-mountain high. Listening to Dylan, Cash, Cline, Brooks, and Chesney. Pure country mmmmm good ( Read more... )

I'm gearing all up for the West Virginia trip, so these last few days will be filled with me contacting my friends and doing all kinds of stuff, of course. Craziness. Joanna is in town, as is Jason. I've already gotten in trouble with the folks for staying out too late. This always happens when friends come in from out of town. I wish that they ( Read more... )

i am on an absolutely fiery kick for listening to dylan, singing, and songwriting now, and learning the guitar better. It frustrates me i haven't been able to play well as yet.

I don't know what's up. Maybe it's something in the air. I think the damp August heat must obscure logic and reason on some level. I miss Ireland.

Gosh, I sound hopelessly, annoyingly optimistic here. But it's true. My parents are about to come back from CA, and I'm happy for their return (and even happier with all the nice changes we've accomplished in Seppi's wardrobe since their departure). We'll just have to see if he manages to keep them. I think he will. He's been getting so much ( Read more... )

I am the QUEEN OF EVERYTHING and I can do ANYTHING I WANT.

wait.

that was two things.

Last night was momentous, not only because it was beautiful and summer, but because of the old memories which came 'round haunting and because, in the midst of all of this, i turned in an application which has been years in the making ( Read more... )
