love and peace or else [... or else love or peace?]
One really annoying thing is that you hardly ever realize how profound what you are thinking really is. I'll be talking in general terms here, but I'm taking all of this from my own experience. But you think all the time, so when you're in the moment a single thought doesn't seem all that special. Perhaps it seems interesting at the time, but ( Read more... ) -
Feb. 18th Anniversary
I've had this journal for four years??!! Whaaa...????? -
impact, or lack thereof
One thing I've always tried to do is to have an impact on people. To try to make their lives different, better, fuller. To be remembered after I'm gone, remembered fondly. Perhaps even missed. Unfortunately, however, this seems to be the last thing that I've been able to do. I'm so good at being forgettable and uninteresting ( Read more... ) -
Time waits for no one. And, apparently, no one waits for time.
It's funny how you only think about certain things at certain times. Here are two examples from my life ( Read more... ) -

a tale of two mediums
Now is one of those times I really wish I had a tablet PC. Geeze, I've turned into such a computer nut over the past year. Ha, but could we expect anything different? I am a Computer Science major (among other things), after all ( Read more... ) -
A single straight line,
It's been a while, hasn't it? I have big plans, you know. Big plans for so many things. But, sadly, it seems that I never get any closer to realizing those plans.

I think that ( Read more... ) -
life as we know it
I find it funny how I said I would start updating again, but here we go, almost three months without an update! As you know, it is now currently summer, both in terms of the season and the school year. But, here I am, back on campus, working. I'd add in a cheer here, but I'm a little too tired to do so at the moment. See, I was supposed to give ( Read more... ) -

I want a chapter of one of my books to be made up of only a single, powerful sentence.
