In which I flail around a bit more because apparently I’m a bit of a moron.
When you’re fourteen, you go to high school. That’s just what you do; everybody knows this. When you’re eighteen, you go to college. After college, you go to work and strive to pay off your student loans.

In which I bought treeware.
For my birthday, I quit smoking.
On my lunch hour, instead of smoking I went into the bookstore and bought myself The Eyre Affair, a book I’ve been meaning to read since it came out eight years ago.

In which things appear to be taking off but maybe it’s just an illusion.
First off, I have to say I’ve just about had it with the fucking humidity. I am not at all enamored with being sticky and damp all the time! I do not enjoy damp sheets! GAH! It’s like living in a giant [...]
