I haven’t been in the mood to update lately. The moods are spread out and the ILC doesn’t stay open during the summer. But here I am in the ILC and I’m having a craving ( Read more... )

I was going through the digital pics on my camera and was dead set on posting three pictures of myself from separate dress-up sessions I had. This computer will not recognize my connection. Sad Sad ( Read more... )

Though I said I didn't want to work in coffee anymore, Roadrunner Coffee Company just hired me part time. I look forward to sitting in a little trailer for 5 hours a day, drinking coffee directly from a Seattle supplier.

just, like, really. I mean, when, like, you are trying to write an essay on a good book, and...like you just come across that one passage that has always really tickled you. All you want to do is smile sort of think about how awesome that someone wrote such a silly amazing thing. You know you have that 13 page paper almost finished, but is it ( Read more... )
