'Cause I'm leeeeaving on a jet plane...

I would like to take this time to let y'all few that read my blog that I will be gone for two weeks. I'm going on a vacation overseas, to Scotland and England. After that, take the Chunnel to France and hang out there for a little while.

So obviously, I can't take my computer to update. I only will text updates to Twitter and that's about it. Sorry in advance to those expecting updates. Take this time to sift through the previous entries.

I will be back soon. Until then, take care and good night.

A Few Notes from A Graduate...

Obligatory "whoo hoos" from the back aside, this is a big moment. For those who are also graduating tonight, congratulations to all of you. This is big, y'all, savor in the moment.

I've been plagued with the "coulda-woulda-shouldas" for a while, but this has been an unforgettable five-year college career. I've learned so much and met some amazing people, even made some close friends. So yeah, even though there were some things I wished I did, but I'm happy.

-To those I'll never see again, maybe it'll not be "never". Otherwise, may life be good to you.

-To those I'll see again for sure, let's have a few drinks. Just not tonight, all the excitement (and the mortarboard) gave me a wicked headache.

-To my alma mater and all my teachers, thank you for this education.

-To my parents, thank you so much for your financial and emotional support. I'm eternally grateful.

On a lighter note, always remember to wear sunscreen. May your last day of finals be much like this one.

And let's wrap it up with a little word from Kenny Loggins:



Good night!

Stuff About Crazy Lady Writer...

Before I begin with the list, I should say that alas, the bonanza must come to an end. At this point, it seems useless to continue since it's long past the week I arrived at the 200th post milestone. I will post the reviews of the albums later on, once I am free of other obligations.

In the meantime, here are a menagerie of fun facts (of a more autobiographical nature):

• I was homeschooled from 5th grade to 12th grade. In my high school years, I went to a co-op and was taught Algebra, Biology, and Drama. 
• Contrary to thought generated from the last fact, I wasn't homeschooled for religious reasons. It was suggested to my parents by teachers.
• My kindergarten teacher tested me for eidetic memory, but due to fears of pigeonholing, my mother didn't push for further testing. By the way, apparently the result was "borderline" (which I guess means it's about 90%...?).
• My theological beliefs are Unitarian Universalist, but I still believe in God. I used to define myself as a nondenominational Christian, but adopted UU shortly after turning 23.
• Graduate school is in the future, but I would like to get some stories and poetry published, maybe a full-time job before I do that. Of course, it will be an M.F.A.
• I primarily collect first edition hardcover books, vinyl records, CDs, and postcards.
• Would I want to be homeschooled again? Yeah, but once I got to high school, instead of that co-op, but an arts school. That would've kicked ass.

That's about it for here. Until then... good night.
