Yes friends, after a 13 month, 6 day sabbatical, the livejournal is making a mighty comeback. At least for today (no need to get overly optimistic). I'm going to attempt to list some highlights (and lowlights... kinda like in hair...) since my last post... p.s. no current events review, we're just talking about my life... because afterall, it is ( Read more... )

So I wanted to save this little bit for its own post. I drove to Iowa City Sunday night to see Nickel Creek and it was so so great. I really think the last concert of anyone that I saw was when they were at Wake last year, which is kinda sad... but i guess it made it that much better to go to a show this weekend ( Read more... )

It's amazing how quickly things can turn around sometimes. I seriously was on the verge of leaving a week and a half ago. Nothing to do with campaign stuff really, just having a hard time with how hard this job can be and how overwhelming and time-consuming it is sometimes. I realize that makes me sound like a total wimp, but whatever. The ( Read more... )

And a damn good thing it was, too... because man, did I need it. Friday night, we went out with some boys from another campaign (scandalous, i know) which was SO great. Not only to go out with other people for a change, and not only to be forced to talk about something other than our campaign, but also because they were really fun ( Read more... )

there's no sense in really explaining my day. bottom line: it sucked. but you know, it's days like today that really make you wake up and realize what amazing friends and a wonderful family you have, no matter how many states, hours, miles, time zones, etc you are apart. thanks y'all, i love you.

Close my eyes ( Read more... )

Suz was right, The Da Vinci Code really is a disease. Her rational - you can't eat, sleep, or otherwise function while reading it. Good thing Mondays are fairly slow because I had to force myself to put it down around 1:30 last night. My posts may be few and far between until I finish. Although, at the rate I'm going, that may be tonight, so ( Read more... )

Two updates in three days... This might even become a regular occurence for me... but that's getting perhaps a little overly optimistic.
Besides (or is it because of?) the lack of bar-hopping this weekend, it was overall pretty great. Yes, the Bucs lost today, and the Yankees lost Game 1 last night, but you can't win 'em all (or even most of ( Read more... )

Right. So despite the prodding of several friends, my attempts at blogging have been a uh, shall we say, a miserable failure (groans from all the political folks, blank stares from the other 99% of the population ( Read more... )

well, right after i sent my last post, suz called which just made my day 10 times better. we haven't gotten to talk since graduation (sad!!) b/c we've both been so busy, and it was so awesome to catch up. we both had lots of venting to do (i felt bad she caught me on a day like today), but it was necessary venting, and just so great to hear her ( Read more... )

...calls for a case of, well, just about anything at this point. no, just kidding. i am, however, supremely annoyed at the day i had today. one, i didn't find out what city i'm going to in iowa. does it really matter in the scheme of things? nope. but i really just wanted to know, and when someone tells me i will know 'by friday or monday,' i ( Read more... )
