The downside to being really happy?

I am having a hell of a time being inspired in my Creative Writing class. It seems I only write well when I have a certain degree of unrest in my life.

So, if any of you have just an idea for a short story, I would love to take it off your hands. Yep.

Life has gotten a lot better recently. We moved into a different house; the last one actually had a few different kinds of toxic black mold growing it. This is another way of saying that the house would have killed us ( Read more... )

Moving into the new house. It started out bad; it is (and I'm not being neurotic) filthy, smells like cat pee and has gone to shit since the last time we walked through it.  Then, my roommates have this theory that there is a mold problem in the vents because it also smells so musty and moldy. The carpets have to be ripped out by the land lords ( Read more... )

It will come as no surprise to most of you that I have finished the last Harry Potter book in something like 16 hours ( Read more... )

    Started moving out of my duplex today. I'm happy with my progress. I moved out all of my decorations, some of my kitchen stuff and about half of my bathroom.

So I took it.

I can't believe somebody would just throw this away.

I blew up at tessa tonight. We were at Molly's house and she needed to go to bed. Everybody was a little fucked up, but Tessa was really fucked up. So I said I'd bring her home, since we drove separately. She was making out with some boy and I broke it up, and she took this to be a "motherly" action. She told me that she was going to spend the ( Read more... )

In elementary and middle school I was good friends with Janelle Adsit, whose little sister was killed last week in a car accident. I went to the visitation tonight with my dad. I hugged her parents and I hugged Janelle and I couldnt speak for the tears.

There is a difference between the death of an old person and the death of a 17 year old. It ( Read more... )

Tessa told me today that she will be transferring out of CSU next semester and going to a small art school in Denver. I know this is the best thing for her and I wish her all the luck in the world. But it hurts, you know? She's been my best college friend for 2 years now. She was supposed to be one of my roommates again next year. And she's leaving ( Read more... )
