thanks to everyone who gave suggestions about grad schools, i really appreciate it and will take every single one of them into consideration.

i went to chicago with two of my best friends ever a few days ago and it was one of the best times i've had in a really long time. it was my first time in chi-CAG-oh and it is really a lovely, lovely city. we drank a shitload, got tattooed (well, at least they did), talked, and did the general best friend thing. it made me so goddamn happy to be with them, they are seriously the best. i uploaded some pictures from the trip and i hope you realize that it was one of the happiest few days that i've had this year.

classes start soon and i'm really scared to graduate. yes, i'm excited as hell, but i'm also terrified. i'm even more scared of submitting my grad school applications because if i don't get into one, then i'm gonna have to enter the workforce when i really don't think i'm ready to. not yet. i need more student-ness and need to learn more about a lot of things, i think, before i'm ready to become an "adult". at least, in the "adult" frame of mind.

i've been writing more (and more and more and more) and reading more (and more and more and more) and learning a lot about things and trying to figure others out. i've been working and drinking and hanging out petting my dog and thinking and trying to be articulate and playing guitar and spending money that i really don't have but i really don't care at this point in time.

nothing escapes damage for long.
