Goals for Today:
Do two sections of my thesis
Laundry
I think that’s manageable. But, of course I am not factoring in any distractions that will happen through the course of the day. So, we shall see.

i want stories… like, some kid at school said “listen to this”. not just “oh man when Teen Spirit first came out”.
gimme your best stories.
Weird, I have a really strong memory of hearing Nirvana for the first time, but I don’t remember how old I was. I might have been in the 6th grade, but it could have been 5th. I was in New Hampshire with my best friend and her family on...

I had sushi last night, and I really want it again tonight. I’m craving it actually. Philadelphia Roll is my favorite.
I wish I had my own personal sushi chef.
All fears of my creative writing class have diminished. My professor seems really laid back and cool. She also has read like every book ever written, so it’s a tad bit intimidating. She actually used to work at HarperCollins Publishing in the Young Adult section, which is exactly what I want to do (well more so children’s books)!! For Monday I have to write a one page autobiography...

I’ve only been back at school for five hours, and already two traumatic events have happened.
1. I got locked in the bathroom. The doorknob jams sometimes, so I never close the door really tightly, but for some reason I did this time. Low and behold, when I tried to get out, the door was stuck and would not budge. I started to get really panicky, my roommates weren’t back yet, (and...
I’m officially all moved back in in my dorm room. Break went by so fast, it truly does not believe I’ve been gone from this place for a whole month. And, now, I only have one semester left before graduation, which is exciting, but so scary at the same time. Lucky for me, my final semester of college ever is going to be the semester from hell. As it stands, this is my schedule:

Creepy
My Aunt Chris just sent this e-mail regarding my cousin Katie’s son, Grayson who is 3 years old. I too, am very creeped out.
Now I know how hard this will be to accept, but just keep an open mind. Last weekend Grayson and Jay were with Jay’s family celebrating Roger’s (Jay’s father) birthday. Roger’s mother — Mama P — is wicked old and needs help...
I just bought a digital camera!!!
Ok, I know this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is for someone who has been living in the dark ages and still uses disposable Kodak cameras (I know, I KNOW, don’t judge me). But, I needed one for my Writing & Editing for New Media class I have this semester.
It’s a Nikon…um, yeah that’s about all I can describe, ha. Now, I...

They surprised me with cake and balloons today at work.
I heart my co-workers. :)
Last Night in Review:
The fireworks were surprisingly good. They lasted for a half hour, and my friend Sarah almost got hit by one that went a little off course. I have a hunch that this is my city telling us that we won’t be having fireworks on the 4th of July.
The Catwalk was fun. Again, surprising. I don’t really do bars, but I guess I do now? It was just nice to have all my friends close by in one...
It's my party...
Going to watch fireworks tonight at 9 that were postponed from New Year’s Eve due to a snowstorm. I decided it would be a good way to ring in my birthday, even though my 22nd birthday is tomorrow. Then, with a few of my friends, going to the Catwalk to have drinks and just catch up.
I don’t particularly enjoy celebrating my birthday because I always feel super awkward, and I hate...
Hello, my name is... acoustic tour
thewilliambeckett:
Next week Adam and I are going out on a small tour, on which I will be playing short acoustic sets inside Hot Topic stores. Our friends Ian and Alex from The Cab will be joining us as well. I’m trying to see if we can play some small coffee shops on some of the days off as well… Malls, coffee shops, bowling allies, plus Adam turns 21… This is looking and feeling like the...
At work…bored out of my mind.
Although, I do prefer this to the marathon reading of Moby-Dick.
