"life is so ridiculously gorgeous, strange, heartbreaking, horrific, etc., that we are compelled to describe it to ourselves, but we can't! we cannot do it! and so we make art."

I am in one of those moods

where I am super happy, yet feel like crying all at once.

Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald!

Well I was correct about my last post

but I am going to continue to write anyway.

I chose my editors today, and I am very excited! I just hope the other 11 don't stop participating in Broadside because I didn't pick them.

Le sigh.

I have also decided

after publishing that last post, that no one reads this at all. Oh well.

There is a cricket in my room

that will NOT stop chirping, and I am about to lose my mind. DISASTER.

Sleep fail.

I am really super tired

so I think I am going to hit the hay. Yes I realize it's only almost 10pm on a Saturday night. But I am acting like a zombie, so sleep seems like a good choice.
