A Flashing Lights Kinda Night

2009-11-09T05:32:02Z

Friday Night. Georgetown... Opening Night for Foto Week DC. Drinks pouring. Beautiful people around. Me and Kel conversing and bumping to the ecclectic mellow mix of house music. Tasty spread of hor'dorves. Floating from one gallery to the next....

Coming Out to Play

2009-10-24T04:18:58Z

I was in the middle of my creative writing class with Medina yesterday when my Blackberry kept vibrating. A couple of times it was just the annoyance of emails coming through, but then came the phone calls. First, a call from home. I didn't answe...

"...a very caring and loving person who is afraid of her own feelings." When I first read that message I took a deep breath. The message was left anonymously via the Honesty Box on my Facebook page. The honesty box allows people to secretly answ...

2009-10-06T02:22:14Z

So Much In Little Time

2009-09-25T19:30:12Z

It can be so easy to write a journal entry when things are sour. It's when I feel most compelled to pour everything out of my soul. My emotions are raw, but it's all out. Released. The end result is (sometimes) a better understanding of the situ...

Sink or Swim: SOS

2009-09-10T05:00:52Z

This is bad. Either I am really a slave to my distractions or I REALLY have ADD. It's the third week of school and I'm behind. Not really behind, but behind enough that if I procrastinate any longer I'll be in a hole. I'm worried that with this f...

Sink or Swim

2009-09-07T03:17:18Z
