I started to say that I had another ....hugely eventful Wednesday...but it's not over. Not by a long shot.  And the weird thing is that it doesn't feel like I have a lot to do...I just feel like I've been sitting all day.  ARG ( Read more... )

Okay....this has been an eventful night/ day...so much so that I feel like it's necessary to post another entry before I forget it all. Now that I've joined the living world again, I started off the day by cleaning my room.  ICK. It definitely smells of unwashed sheets and dirty laundry.  I spent the morning talking to a friend of mine from high ( Read more... )

Mileage: Week of February 7th: 9

I'm currently getting back into the swing of things.  I had a really good talk with a friend of mine who said, it's just a matter of realizing that you can do it.  I was in a place where I'd get up on time, get ready, get to the door, and then go back to bed.  This is not a productive way to get a good grade in ( Read more... )

I'm moving on with my life.  I have strep throat...ick!  And so I've missed most of two weeks of school, one for the death of Brittany, and one for this illness that knocked me flat.  I find myself glad that I'm only taking three classes, because with the death of Brit, I realize how fleeting our life is.   We always chastized her for smoking. Her ( Read more... )

I keep listening to this song on repeat...hoping that something will change. Nothing's changed, though, when the song ends. On January 25th, at 10:24pm Brittany Givens-Copeland, one of my closest friends from boarding school, was murdered. Google the details if you want them. I wish it were anyone else. She was kind and funny, sweet and vivacious. ( Read more... )

A lot of people change their hair when they go through a breakup.  I think if I changed my hair everytim I dumped a guy, I'd be changing my hair every week, and since I'm trying to donate my hair, I think that would be rather impossible if i kept cutting it off every time I dumped some guy.  I think the whole adage that you want what you can't have ( Read more... )

I have to wonder whether love is just an imaginary contract you make with yourself not to see the flaws of a person for the rest of your life.  It can't be helped that people make promises they're going to break.  It might hurt more to be the one breaking those promises, but for now I feel like I'm on the receiving end of the blow.  Again I've let ( Read more... )

Okay.  Life is going really well, and I'm having a great semester! Oh...and finally, I've decided that I'm happy being single, and three boys have popped up in my life.  How is THAT?  Someone explain to me how I have an opportunity that I would seriously have ...okay, not really seriously, killed for it....but the point is that I consistently have ( Read more... )

In the past few years, a couple of my friends have committed suicide.  Whether they were close friends, or just acquaintances, I still feel a crushing sense of grief.  A numb, all-encompassing hopelessness that only lasts a few moments, but still takes the breath out of my chest.  The breathlessness that comes usually from a fall from monkey bars, ( Read more... )

They say that everyone has one adjective that describes them perfectly.  I've always thought that I'm just too "unique" for that to apply to me.  However, recently, i've discovered the perfect adjective in the form of a word of the day to my phone.  It's like God is trying to tell me something.  Overly persistent.  I seem to have a single- ( Read more... )
