"It is important to not be afraid of your words" 

I have a new blog. http://thehookahsmokingcaterpillar.blogspot.com. It's more on the creative end of things, although I just wrote a small rant about not being able to find a job. Aaron, aka Freddie Fame, is going to contribute to this blog, also. But keep checking good ol' LiveJournal, becuase this will still be my personal blog.

It's been a week and a half since my grandma passed away. It's been rough, but I know she wanted to go at the end, and I guess that makes it easier.

Reader's Digest/Cliff Notes/Spark Notes version of Boston trip:

• Discovered the Memphis Airport is amazing...anyone want to take a trip to Memphis with me just so I can go through the airport again?
• I completely fell in love with UMass Boston. The program is awesome, and everyone I talked to there was super awesome as well.
• I forgot how much I love ( Read more... )

I'm leaving for Boston in exactly 12 hours, to look at grad schools. I have an appointment with the MFA program director at UMass Boston, and I'm doing a campus tour/visit at Emerson. I'm so excited I think I might puke.

I had a dream last night about my grandmother's funeral.

Everyone was there, including all my friends who have never met her.

I've been in this mood lately where all I want to do it lay in bed and read. Which is fine. I love books (and actually had to tell Tori in Barnes and Noble today to not let me leave with any, I have way too many to read as it is), and I think that spending time alone is good for the soul. Sometimes it's hard with two roommates and a front door that ( Read more... )

Last night was a little crazy. Take the Pearl, add drama from multiple people, add one phonecall to me and one text to Tori, and what do you get? Heart to heart talks about who I shouldn't be friends with anymore (but fuck that, I'm the only one who gets to decide when I don't want to be friends with someone) and how some people just aren't worth ( Read more... )
