Oh gentle readers, forgive me for abandoning you. So many things have happened! I've been so busy. Flimsy excuse, contrite supplication for continued readership, bullshit bullshit, rah rah rah.

I won't bore you with narrative. Here's the CNN version of the last 10 days.

My roomate - we'll call her Kitty - packed up her troop of plush Disney characters, the pots and pans, the frilly shower curtain, the wine, and the X-box, and moved out. Not a moment too soon, I must say! There's nothing so beautiful as having a three-person apartment to oneself . . .

. . . except maybe hosting a rollicking birthday party in said apartment. It was a costume party, in honor of Halloween. I had stocked an incredible bar, developed a lighting concept, and coated my appartment in faux spider webs for the occasion. Dozens of my peers turned out - a good number of them with gifts for me, bless their hearts. A good time was had by all. Especially me. I got terrifically soused, and managed to drunk-dial my mom before passing out in my bed a bit after midnight. The only unpleasant outcome of the party was a basket-ball sized hole in my living room wall. Oh well. It can be repaired.

I have a short story and a poem slated for publication in the next installment of X, our campus's sexuality 'zine. It's print. I'll take it.

Academic nonsense is keeps me good and anxious most of the time. Sometimes I question my major and my future career. My writing continues to stagnate.

Kay is coming with me to Texas for part of winter break. Hopefully, I can show him a good time in Houston. Our plans for new years involve some serious clubbing, possibly at Club 2401 or some rave. I will have to research the events. We'll see how it goes.

I would love to get another tattoo, but I'm too damned poor.

I redyed my hair.

I found a dollar.
