I’ll never forget the time we ditched school to go meet President[then, elect] Obama,
and by some fluke of the gods, we actually shook his hand and personally talked to him.
after that we both had stars in our eyes, like giddy little girls.

Now, I am not so pleased to say I’ve met him.
Time is a funny thing,...
I think i’ll dilly dally my way onto the library now.

Sara came to see me and bunk here for the night in Phoenix before heading back to California.
It was nice seeing her.
I really haven’t been able to since Ariel’s funeral in July.
My boyfriend is leaving today to go back to new Mexico, so my two months of quiet reflection and meditation begin now.
It’s eight am and I’ve drank three cups of OJ and two cups of chocolate...
