I imagine you are a bird, somehow ( Read more... )

I watched a TED talk today. It talked about love and relationships and cheating and serotonin, and so on. You can watch it here ( Read more... )

I'm writing this from bed. I can do that, because Mo (my boyfriend. BOYFRIEND. That's going to take some getting used to...) lent me a laptop which has a working screen! So I'm in bed with a working laptop, with the Eels playing, with free time to write because I no longer go to school and work like a crazy person, with french toast in bed with ( Read more... )

I was at this dive bar, called The Carleton, the other day with my dad, his girlfriend, and a friend of hers. I met the kindest old drunk man. He told me that he just wants to retire, have a garden, write poetry, and go bird watching. Then, he'd whistle, and ask me to guess what kind of bird he was being. He also told me I looked like a ( Read more... )

The is a boy sitting at my kitchen table with me, at 1 am, who is doing an IQ test as I type this.  I just finished showing him my new pet dinosaur in WoW.  He ate vegan vegetable barley soup with me.  I don't know where this is going exactly, but suffice to call me infatuated.  I... don't even know.  He does martial arts and thinks my crazy is ( Read more... )

                Today, I had no class (that I attended, in any case) and the day off work.  First day off in quite a while, actually!  I thought to myself last night, “You know, Vee, you should sleep in a bit but get up early enough to get some stuff done - so sleep until like, 9 or so, then get up, do a load of laundry, clean the kitchen, and ( Read more... )

Today was a really really good day.  I feel, at this moment, genuinely content in a way that I haven't in months since Dannie and Kelly left.  I work up, and alternated playing World of Warcraft with doing laundry, while drinking a cup of coffee and an entire pot of green tea.  That might now sound like much, but the perfect mix of laziness and ( Read more... )

I am 22 today.  I feel like when you're a kid birthdays are SO EXCITING all of the time - and I appear to have lost that this year.  It's weird because I'm more like a kid than most adults - I play at the park, have far too many small animals, wear jeans and a t-shirt, like to finger paint.  It's just for birthdays it feels like just any other day ( Read more... )

Also, sister, if you read this - apparently you emailed everyone but not me??  And I got a new phone so have no phone numbers.  How is/was the trip?  When are you home?  Call, email, morse code, smoke signal... something!
