I am unashamedly skipping work today.  I left my boss a voicemail around 7:30 claiming that I have a cold, then I slept until 11 (I have to say, I really don't feel great, but I think it's just stress and fatigue).  Since then I've been lying around reading and listening to music.   James came over for lunch, which was fun.  I'm going to watch some ( Read more... )

I don't really have anything to say right now, I'm just posting because I'm trying to be good and not go weeks without posting. :)

I saw Stardust last night.  It was surprisingly good!  The scenes with the witches tended to be a bit too drawn out and I didn't care for the changes they made to "Captain Shakespeare."  But otherwise, it made me happy ( Read more... )

So I'm back in Florida.  Texas was good, I got to see some friends.  Rachel and Peter were with me for Harry Potter, which was great.  My family went to Schlitterbahn, which rocks (even in the unseasonably cold rain).  I hung out with Shoda a couple times.  It was, of course, emotional and weird (not Shoda, things with my family).  Leaving was VERY ( Read more... )

I'm in TEXAS.  It's good to be back. :) 

I can't believe how out of touch with everyone I've become.  I'm genuinely sorry and I'm really missing my friends.  I'm not sure why.  I say I'm incredibly busy, but I know everyone is.  I feel like I've fallen into some sort of physical and emotional lethargy.

I truly despise my job.  It hurts because the organization I work for is really amazing ( Read more... )

I just spent half an hour writing a really long update and got an error message when I posted; now the entry is apparently lost forever.  Does anyone know where those autosaved drafts are kept?  Damn, AAAAAAAARRRRGHHHH!!

Hi!!!!! I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET!!! I don't have a desk or anything, but I'm online and that's all that matters. I feel so disconnected from you all and I miss everyone so much. Not having personal internet for 2.5 months was hell. Utter HELL. Don't try it, thinking it will enrich your life or get you out of the house or something. It just ( Read more... )

hi!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm in florida and everything is going pretty well.  I would love to post a long update, but I can't get online much at James's house.  I will hopefully talk to you all soon. =)

I'm leaving today. I can't even begin to explain what a bizarre mix of feelings this is. I guess it's just time for the plunge!

So the last week has been crazy. Update:

A week from last Friday I had a phone interview with the Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice, FL.  It's a really cool organization which basically manages a huge endowment, giving grants and scholarships to local nonprofits and individuals.  It also creates and implements a lot of initiatives on its ( Read more... )
