More Technical Issues…
The good news is that I got my laptop back. Not only had Apple replaced my battery, they had also installed a new logic board, so my computer was running like new again. 🙂 The bad news is, this only lasted a few days. It began with a 1px-wide red vertical line along the right […]
Chirp, Chirp
It’s been a whooping 1 year and 2 months since I last wrote in this blog. …Is anyone still around? During my hiatus, I seriously contemplated shutting down the site. I was feeling uninspired and unmotivated. There were a lot of things going on in my life I did not feel comfortable sharing with the world […]

Delusion Angel*
1995. I remember it was my last year in junior high. I remember being awkward and unsure, desperately wanting to fit in, longing to be just like everyone else yet still wanting to leave a unique imprint as a burgeoning adult. I remember sneaking peeks at issues of YM and Seventeen at the school library. And I remember […]

She certainly had a way of helping me feel warm and comforted and understood, and I almost always felt better after our […]
