Apologies for my Absence
Hello, darling readers.
All, what, 2 of you?
I apologize for the lack of interestingness for the next week- I’m in FL till the 4th.
HAPPY NEW YEARS! :)
Happy Christmas
Hello everyone :)
Today is Christmas. A time to be close to family, remind your friends how much you love them, and hug a couple more people than you usually do. A time to give and receive heartfelt gifts, and eat way way WAY too many cookies. But mostly, it is a time to remember your faith. It does not matter if you are Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Hindu or whatever. The most wonderful...

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-16
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls downs, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls down and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

Balderdash
Yeah, that has nothing to do with it. I was just reminded of what a great word that was today. You know what? LIFE IS GOOD. I’ve got everything I need. Winter break’s coming up fast and I am welcoming it with open arms.
Life’s rough sometimes. Believe me, I know. But really, how important is a guy, or money, or grades, when you have your friends?
I love you guys. So glad...

Rain drops falling.
Tears falling.
Falling in love.
I hope not. Seems like risky business.
Danger in falling, you know.
Free Association
I’m having a bad day. They happen sometimes, it’s inevitable. In Spanish as a way of coping with this no good, horrible, very bad day, I did some free association and wrote some random words down that came to mind. Some such words included: Why? Over and over. Falling. Too fast. Swept over. Same thing. Always. Danger.
All of these had to do with my bad day. And now that...
