| ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
It's been an interesting three (!) years, but I believe, as according to precedent, it is time to move on. Xanga has become too unkempt, trivial, and angst-ridden for me to feel comfortable writing here anymore... and hence, it is time to regress to the days of yore lol.
I won't go ballistic this time and start deleting things, so feel free to browse the archives of this site or any of the personal blogs I have had over the years (there are two... happy hunting!). It's a pretty interesting shift to see, and in my opinion the Tangents me and the me of today are two vastly different people. (However, if you read through the twenty-odd attempts at my "100 things" list, you'll see that I haven't changed too too much either hehe.)
Anyhow, to anyone who has read or is reading this site, a million thanks for sticking around. I couldn't have done it without ya'll. ^__^

Steph! Ho!
*dramatic music* and thus ends the East Cluster Trilogy. Don't be sad (or too happy =p), for all good things come to an end. Stay tuned for a possible continuation of the saga, George Lucas/Die Hard/Leprechauns style. You never know where I may pop up next ;) | | |
| GO
So the other day I took a road trip.
I was sitting at B&N reading a book of... well... quiet desperation. I finished the novel pretty quickly; despite being a good read (I'd recommend it, actually), I was left a little distraught when I shut the back cover. Ditching the stack of books I had been planning to read I got up and walked out to my car, started my engine, and left. It was only three and I had nowhere to be and so, no idea where I was going.
As I crested the road through Austin Ranch, I saw glimpses of what I had been missing, and I breathed a sigh of relief. God, this state is beautiful. I laughed a little (aloud, though I was alone in my car), silly me, not everything was lost forever. By the time seven o'clock rolled around, I had ended up driving over fifty miles in a grand tour of the metroplex, from Denton to Wylie to Richardson and back.
I'm still trying to figure out if it helped or not. | | |

| SPEED SCRABBLE
I haven't died, just signed offline for a little bit.
There's no one online that I can't simply just call to hang out with, hence, no AIM recently. Plus I'm spending pretty much every waking second *with* someone else, and perusing the internet is more of a solo activity. In addition, I just don't feel very funny and/or inspired right now, so writing here has gone out the window... sorry.
What I have been doing is hanging out at everyone's favorite coffee shop (Java & Cha), watching Ouran High School Host Club (AMAZING), and playing speed scrabble.
You dump out a sizable amount of tiles face down onto a table and everyone grabs seven random ones. Everyone flips their tiles and tries to make some kind of scrabble formation with them (this is all sans a board), and the first person to place all seven into connecting words says "go". Everyone takes two more pieces from the face down pile and tries to either 1. fit them into the existing formation or 2. make an entirely new formation with them. First person to complete a set with their nine tiles says "go" and everyone grabs two more pieces... This continues until there are no more face down tiles on the board... and the first person to complete their scrabble set wins.
Have fun! Don't hurt yourselves (its a pretty intense game...) | | |
| TEXAS AND A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Dear sweet baby Jesus, I am finally breathing Texas air (and what good air it is).
After my five month stint enduring the cornfields of Illinois, I am back in my native habitat, and eating lots and lots of meat. *REAL* meat.
Anyways I'll be in Ft. Worth for a few more days, but back in Plano by Wednesday, and school starts the 30th. I'm sticking around till mid-august, when I'm driving (hehhhh ^_^;;;) up to school.
In addition to being a barista at Starbucks, I'm going to be a professional hobo. Meaning? I'm pretty much homeless, and will probably be house hopping until I get settled in at a sublease mid June. I'm still taking offers for couches I can crash on for a night or two haha. (I've always depended on the kindness of strangers)
I know many of you are ditching me this summer for Asia (wtf is up with this mass exodus?), but give me a call when you're in the area and we can go do something. | | |
