My Twenty-Something Quasi-Soap

i'm at work again, but it's the night shift so i can't really get in trouble for posting a blog. all that's left is the rest of tonight, tomorrow, and then i'm back in the dorms on Sunday! finally! ok, so like one of my summer projects that i never got around to was writing an album of songs about school and name it "Songs in the Key of Scarlet." (the colors at RU are Scarlet and Black, for those of you who aren't from RU). I had a few ideas in my head, and I finally got one of them on paper tonight.

I finally got around to resolving all these unresolved feelings that i had from the relationship with my first boyfriend. we hung out a couple of times while his parents were selling their house here in NJ (his dad retired last year and they moved to Florida). it was nice to see how much he'd grown up and realizing how much i've grown up...and once i stopped beating myself up over dumping him, i had fun trading witty comments about life and stuff. truly the highlight of my summer...or at least one highlight of my summer that i've recently titled "the summer from hell." speaking of the underworld, i've managed to put my poor goldfish Stimpy th
