I'll be in Chicago tomorrow through Thursday. Drop me a line via email or on here and I'll try to check it at least once. IM me tonight if you want to hang out.

You'd think it would be easy to find someone to go see Avenue Q with.

I'm doing pretty ok lately. I'm still worried about a few things, but I always am, particularly as far as others opinions of me go. I wish I could not worry about that, and sometimes I don't, but I'm working on it. The creepy thing still bothers me a bit.

The job is fantastic. I've loved books for as long as I can remember and...

I'm worried that I'm creepy.

Lately, and by lately I mean over the last year, I've been losing a lot of friends, or just have acquaintances stop talking to me. And I don't know what it is that I do wrong. Do I come on too strong? Am I really genuinely creepy? How can I fix this? Does anyone else ever feel this way?

My...

So I'm currently in miserable amounts of pain. Last night, as I was finishing up my rounds at work for the night, I slipped on some icy stairs and fell down about four of them, nailing the hell out of my back. I went to the hospital (first time I've ever ridden in an ambulance) and spent a good five hours there. Fortunately, it turns...

So I'm trying to decide whether the end of A History of Violence is incredibly depressing or not. Thoughts?

Apart from that, I'm alright. Finished up my paper thats due on Tuesday for my Contemporary American Poetry class with Professor Wakoski. She's incredibly intimidating but I'm really pleased with how I'm doing in her class. She gave me a four point on my midterm so...

I got a second job! I'm sure that I probably whined about my ongoing quest to not be unemployed during the Christmas holidays and thankfully, I was successful. I'll be working as a bookseller at the Schuler books in Okemos. I'm very excited. I love the written word, and it'll be nice to meet some new people who share that same passion.

As far as...

So I think that someone out there should take pity on me and buy me a ticket to Walking with Dinosaurs live at the Cobo Arena. Anyone who knows even a little bit about me knows how much I love Dinosaurs and the oppurtunity to see life size robots that react to the audience is like once in a lifetime. I wish. If you haven't...

What do you see when you turn out the light?

So I'm doing alright I guess. I woke up today and was somewhat depressed but the fact that I got to see my friend Amanda for the first time in a while made up for it. She took me out for dinner with her and her friend. It was nice just sitting down and talking...

So, movie critics are dumb.

This is coming on the tail end of me seeing Across the Universe today, and being absolutely blown away. The reviews have been almost universally poor and I can't understand why that is. It was a fantastic movie. I won't go into too much detail here because I really don't want to spoil it for anyone who has yet to...

I am currently making a delicious omelette. (edit: said omelette has been turned into scrambled eggs because I had the heat up too high.) I woke up a few hours ago and am again coming to the inevitable conclusion that I need new friends. No one returns phone calls and the very idea of hanging out with anyone reliably has become laughable to me. I...

So I think I dislike about 85 percent of my fellow students in the creative writing program here at MSU.

That seems harsh I know, so I'll explain. Its like a club that you're not allowed into unless you were there from the beginning. Add that to the fact that a good portion of writers I've met thus far are arrogant and self-absorbed, and you've...
