"When someone doesn't show up, the people who wait sometimes tell stories about what might have happened and come to half believe the desertion, the abduction, the accident. Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don't--and it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown. Perhaps fantasy is what you fill up maps with rather than saying that they too contain the unknown." Rebecca Solnit

My general interests include, but are not limited to: eating apples whole; breakfasts of organic oatmeal; anti-gmo, conventional, all meat and processed foods; coffee & cigarettes; sleeping; sleepy time music; reading & writing on my hands.

No. 007

I stayed up all last night - studying. I haven't pulled an all nighter since I can remember, I've never cared that much about getting a 4.0. Not until this past year. I was ok with a Bish average....
