With all I've seen and all I've done, there are things that I'd like to forget. But at this point in my life I'd like to live as if only love mattered, as if redemption was in sight.

Life is pretty good for me, all in all. I am still with my Katie. We celebrated our one year anniversary last month.
I started at DCC on a full scholarship for two years as a Communications major. I very well may change that after this semester, depending as to whether or not I can transfer my classes to New Paltz at the end of the two years.
I challenged a computer course at DCC for $45. In ten minutes, I got three credits. YAY! I am pretty much enjoying DCC so far. Pretty laid back schedule.
I spend a lot of time at New Paltz (Katie goes there).
I am auditioning for DCC's production of Fifth of July.. Seems fun.
I might be getting a job at The Three Arts books by Vassar. Which isn't to say I will be quitting the Mid Hudson Children's Museum (especially since everyone but me was fired and I got UNDERLINGS!), but working there a lot less. If I worked at Three Arts, it would only be Friday and Saturday. That is pretty much everything for the moment.


reading: books
listening: angels dancing on the head of a pinwanting: a different and book related job
interesting thought: Kitty from some 1950's wholesome TV show (Daddy Knows Best?) grew up to be a prostitute.
