Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition
I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]
Good Morning, Good Luck
I woke up early, having to finish my deadline, but not with edgy nerves and wound-up energy. The beagles and I cuddled and I allowed myself to wake slowly. The sun wears thick, gray clouds today. The neighbors left for work hours ago, so I listen to the intermittent creaking of their gate. Puck snores. [...]
Almost a year ago….
I graduated from Rollins College. And a year later, life is so different. But I want to send congrats to Kat — I wish I could be there to see you walk… have fun today.
Playing Ketchup — this will not be edited
Wednesday – My final final, Botany. Again, I believe that Dr. Grey screwed us. I studied the list of topics, made note cards, poured over maps and formulas and all that other nonsense. I packed my brain full of stuff, and when the test came, I almost threw something. He included information from throughout the [...]
For Now
It’s going to take me a bit to sit down and tell you about that last day — about how I cried, and tried not to get overwhelmed by the first of my many goodbyes, about how I took a few moments in the parking lot to reflect on the sucesses and failures at Rollins, [...]
Holy hangover Batman!
I’m not feeling well. Jager is a bad bad bad thing. I am getting over the hangover but last night was amazing. It felt so weird. I will get into the specifics later, but the last class is done and my new journey is beginning. I’ll make phone calls in a day or two..but first [...]
It’s over
I’m going to get drunk now. I’ve cried more than once. Yeah – reflection will come later, for now, I am very sad and want to spend time reminiscing with friends and loved ones — and a beer will be in hand. Blessings to all…

She dusted the office and hummed a song her Momma used to sing when she was a baby. The feather duster danced between a gavel and the notebook that judge always wrote in. The letters meant nothing to her. She couldn’t read. But the judge had a pretty way of writing, like ribbons of light [...]
Two down…
I should be knee deep in Botany terms, but I just can’t do it right now. So….. tired. Took the grammar final. Don’t know how I did, and right now, I don’t give a shit. Bad attitude. Yes. Oh well. **bad grammar on purpose, so hush ** The ongoing bittersweet feeling continues. So does the [...]
On Fire
** This is a response paper I wrote after reading Specimen Days (which I highly recommend). The second story deals with children suicide bombers in modern day NYC. This response is to just one instance in the book, but I like it so I thought I would share. And D drew the boy. He will [...]
GRADUATION
Here’s the e-vite. Everyone is welcome…even those of you who don’t live locally. Please bring a friend or five, a beverage or ten, and something to snack on. My family is going to be here… Mom and Alexis and Derick fly in on the 11th of May. I don’t know what I’m more excited about [...]
If you look…
It’s worse than you think. I made a list, checked it twice and didn’t get a damn thing done. Scratch that. We cleaned the house. You will no longer see fuzz-bunnies the size of the cat floating about. I had a manic snap, so I went to bed around 8 this morning and then got [...]
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO
I GOT MY CAP AND GOWN!!! *passes out*
Movin right along…
We have worked extensively on the reproductive organs of the flower. Every time we talk about ovaries and stamens and pistels, I think of Reproduction from Grease 2. Reproduction, reproduction! Put your pollen tube to work. Reproduction, reproduction! Make my stamen go berserk. Reproduction! I don’t think they even know what a pistil is! I [...]
From the green
I bought my plane tickets for Seton Hill, and applied for Financial Aid. I even rented a car. . It cost more for the car than the flight. How fucked up is that? It’s more expensive to fart around PA for five days than to fly up there? That’s just obscene. I get back home [...]

Things to do
I found out last night that my humanities portfolio is overdue. Is this my fault? Partially, I suppose. I searched my Rollins e-mail and such to find out the due dates, but got no information. Connie Holt called last night and told me it was overdue. Guess I will be busting my ass this weekend. [...]
Sooooooshi
D and I went to Fuji with Amanda and Adam last night. I heart asparagus rolls. Oh, and carrot rolls. Oooohhh and TAMAGO!!! *drool*. So begins my food obsession. I’m rolling through them with more speed and intensity these days. Two years of non-pulp OJ and cream cheese bagels when I was in high school [...]
It’s not over
I finished my midterms. Skipped out of work most of this week in order to get grad school and studying done. Finished all of the grad school stuff except this fucking “Letter of Intent” It’s due today. As I write this, it’s 12:06 in the morning. I am fucking tired. Perhaps I should go to [...]
So fucking tired….
I got stuck reading a book last night, and I am not all that happy about the story. I used to be a rabid fan of Charles De Lint, but I think he’s getting repetative. I need some new worlds to read about. I can’t keep my eyes open. I am so damn tired. Coffee [...]
