Divisions and Precisions

Currents

I'm still here, I promise. It's been a very lazy month, mostly lazy in a good way. Summer school starts tomorrow, and I feel ready for something to throw myself into. I think if I have some place I have to be every day, writing will come easier.

I got this out of Mer's weblog. It seemed like a good idea at the time...

School starts tomorrow. I cheat

School starts tomorrow. I cheat and ramble mostly through a survey in today's entry. I've been putting off a collab entry all month. We'll see if I get it done.

Looking at the date, I just realized something. Seventeen years ago today was my very first kiss. How sad is it that I remember the exact date? Twelve, almost thirteen years old, standing under the moonlight with the first boy who ever showed any interest in me. We held hands and giggled, then he finally told me he loved me and kissed me.

Too bad he was an eighteen year old high school graduate who later turned psycho. I have to wonder now if that was a bad omen to the beginning of my romantic life...
