You unlock everything, because you are a skeleton
key. You are resourceful and can fit yourself
into any situation and find a way through. No
one can keep you out, but not everyone will
want you to come in.

So things have calmed down. All is well, basically. I still thoroughly discourage quads, but we're okay. There may well be a murder in Voorhees East one of these nights, though. I wouldn't be surprised. Not that I'd have any thing to do with it. Or anything.
My mom and grandma are visiting me next weekend. They're taking me shopping. And to Amish-land. I'm genuinely really excited for it.
And the leaves are falling and squirrels are being nutty and sometimes I'm lonely and sometimes I'm joyful, but most of the time I'm just interested.
I've started drinking coffee, although it's really about 65% milk, chocolate and sugar, and the rest coffee. Maybe I'm becoming addicted. It really does perk you up, though.
I'm supposed to be writing a reaction paper for the movie Little Buddha. There is a breadmaker at my work study, and today we had lovely grain bread, plushy and warm on the inside and crunchy, loamy on the crust. With butter and sugar and coffee.
Today I accidentally missed class. For the very first time. I just completely forgot about it, but apparently I didn't miss much, just a movie discussion.
Current Music: bruise - the bens
