yesterday was my birthday.

and today i finished law school.

i'm a shell of a person. no fiancee. no job prospect. mum dying of cancer. and of course, all the other evisceration that accompanies the law school experience.


but today i finished law school. so maybe something different will happen now.
rin:
holy crap! i never check the 'birthday' thing so a late happy birthday will have to suffice, and congratulations. but i guess i'd feel overpowered too by a terminally ill mum. i'm awfully sorry.

busy as fuck, but went to Cleveland Fri-Sat to do a reading. dog tired now. played some GH2 - that rokked. too bad everyone isn't as good as i am.

ex has been bugging me. wish she'd just go away.

man, my writing really really sucks when i'm tired as i am right now...oh well, this is just what it is...and nothing more. or maybe...

Hi Metro,

Don't smile on my account; It'd make me feel sad. Very much not onlining it anywhere lately. Really quite decrepit profile I have. I hope you are well and you seem that you would be enjoying spring things, like catching fish with your bare hands in streams somewhere--oh that's some association I have with you and that old pic on your profile! ha. When you have time to think about where you're headed between licks on the keyboard, that's a beautiful thing! . Smiles. Aerial

job searching, finishing up law school. ii'm gonna miss being a student because i love the lifestyle, and in general i have loved being a youth. but i guess we all age, ready or not.

mum is doing ok. she starts chemo soon. thanks for all your prayers.

we talked about my job search, and she supports my dream to move to California, even though...

surgery revealed the worst possible scenario...

inoperable, advanced stages of ovarian cancer.

if there are any hearts out there, please pray for my mum.
rin:
holy shit. i don't know what to pray to, but i know i am going to pray my little heart out.

so, my mum has cancer and is going into pretty extensive surgery on Monday. she's being really strong about it - probably for the sake of us, her children.

thoughts, hopes, and prayers are appreciated. thanks.

submitted my upper level writing requirement. it's not as good as the first version (lost in computer crash), but it will have to do. an 11k word piece on corporate governance to reduce corporate pollution. it originally was something closer to 20k words...but oh well. i only needed 10k to satisfy the requirement.

btw, has anyone been to the chat room lately? it kinda sucks...

Don't get me started on Chat.

I have this conversation with Crim and MrStitches now and then.

I miss conversation. The Old Sg Chat *insert angelic choir here* was rad.

That's why I stayed a member... now what do I have.

NOW WHAT?!

i'm so glad i passed on full scholarships w/ stipends so i could attend a top-20 school that prides itself on a tight alumni network, but hasn't been top-20 since i got here, and i haven't been interviewed by an alum since i've been here. also yay.

this weekend, i had an allergic reaction to something i ate. i suspected the green curry.

now my weakened body is ill. fever, aches, swollen lymph nodes, congestion, and cough...beautiful.

i could go for some good luck right about now.
takesatraintocry:
Green curry once laid me so low I had to call my med school friend and ask him in all seriousness: 'is it possible for a person's stomach to actually explode?'

I feel for you. Treat your flu as a vision quest. Ever seen Jim Jarmusch's 'Dead Man'? it rocks.
robotsatemyhair:
Oh, dear, that sounds just awful!

I do hope you recover quickly!
