My House

Let's just talk about how absolutely freezing it is in my house. The only thing we have heating the entire place is a coal stove in my living room. The pipe "must" be kept at 100 degrees, so the air coming out of it is making the house average at around 64 degrees--too cold for the time of year when you want to be cozy and warm. Then upstairs is even colder. My room has to be in the 50's! I can't wait to get into my warm bed at school, honestly.

I have a blog now?

So, I'm feeling the pressure to start yet another useless internet endeavor. This will be among the 5 websites I visit in this order: Facebook, Email, Blog, Failblog, YouTube. I'll never get work done.

I'm starting this blog at such a strange time. I should discuss so much, but I just won't. I don't think I believe in writing all my woes and feelings into a public place. But, I will say some things.

I like where I am in life. I've made my best friends within a few short months, but it seems like it has been so much longer. I'll close with one of my favorite quotes:


"Kite-flying is a double-edged experience, at once liberating and a reminder of your earthbound nature. The kite is a part of you and yet not a part of you, it is like having your soul on a long string tugging at you, attached to your body and yet with a life of its own. The temptation, of course, is to let go."-James Robertson, "The Testament of Gideon Mack"
