do you remember that stupid song? why can i rember so many of the lyrics to it? why can’t i selectively delete stupid song lyrics like that from my brain, so there would be more room for lovely memories that i’m sure are SOMEWHERE, but i can’t recall them. last night...

at first i thought it was poison ivy. i just wrote a flyer about trying new things, which i’ve done a bit of lately. i neglected to mention the flip side of trying new things, and that would be the new nasty BUGS i’ve run into. well, i have mentioned the tics. i...

looking at those beautiful photos makes me want to travel. i haven’t done any of that in a very long time. not a long trip to someplace beautiful, anyway. i can’t even recall the last time i did that. not that camping isn’t a sort of travelling. the nice thing about...

i started the new harry potter…and quickly realized that i didn’t remember most of the 5th book. at first i thought maybe this didn’t matter, and i guess it doesn’t, really, but i started skimming the 5th book, and decided i wanted to re-read it before starting...
