Today was a happy day. We wrapped up the magazine on Friday so this has been the first weekend in a while that I haven’t had the word DEADLINE orbiting around my head. I feel fresher. Like a little bird flying into a cloud. Matt and I watched like five hours of Planet Earth on [...]

So I feel like I’ve been posting a lot, but I feel like haven’t written much here in a long while. That won’t change tonight as it’s late and I’m tired and I’m just not that into you (website you). BUT that will change someday because I miss using my brain to write stuff. It’s [...]

We’ve been wanting to take on something together for a while, so I signed us up for this before he could suggest becoming members of something like Fish Freaks or Star Wars Society. For our first week’s homework assignment, our [...]

Des, Alice and I went to watch Sex and the City tonight. I loved it very much and still feel all twirly inside. I wanted to squeeze someone’s hand when I saw the pretty dresses, but the person sitting next to me was Alice and she doesn’t like to be touched. Alice was also sitting [...]
