It's been a while since I wrote here. Internet problems continuing, preparing to move back, lots of work, &c.

It's less than week until I move back to the States, and my feelings are kind of mixed. While I'm really excited to come back, this experience has been amazing, and I'm a bit sad that it's over.

I brought way too many books with me...

Long time, no write.

I had another poem accepted for publication, which is good, what with the chapbook coming out this year. I also finished my second manuscript recently and started pimping it around to various chapbook contests to start out with. I think it might be a bit early, that their should be more revision of it as a unit as opposed to individual...

I've been having really weird dreams recently. In my dreams, I'm freshly back in Atlanta, and everything is wrong. My friends don't want to have anything to do with me, I can't find my way around because the city looks so foreign to me, random people accost me verbally and physically on the streets, &c.

This is weird because I spend most of my waking...

The weather here is really amazing. I've been getting out quite a bit more, which has helped my shitty-pants attitude. Plus, it's only a month & 2 days before I go home.

I've had a nice lazy day today: stayed in and listened to lots of Grandaddy and Orange Juice, played computer backgammon for hours, talked to Mom & Granny on skype for a long...

So, I haven't really gotten out of bed for a week. If you know me, you know that this usually a cause for rejoicing. However, it's one of those oh-God-I-just-can't-do-it-pass-the-Anne-Sexton-please things. There's a part of me that feels like it's already back in Atlanta. Also, I haven't talked to my Dad in as much time, and I'm a little worried, what with him being sick...

So, I'm yet again determined to make this blogging thing happen. I've always been crap at it, but I'm going to try again.

Some great things have been happening. After a nice string of publications in literary journals, my first chapbook has been accepted by Taiga Press for the initial release in its Tundra Chapbook Series. YAY! It should be out late this Fall, and...

Jeez, so tired....

Everything's going reeeeeally well; there's just so much of it! More hours at GSU, more work from the research assistantship, plus crunchtime with the magazine. These are all wonderful and fun and exciting, but I'm not normally a two-ended candle, y'know?

I have a date, or what I thought was a date, until she told me today she's only interested in girls...

So, I figured I should write something and pretend that someone will read it. I recently met Onie when I was out the other night, and she reminded me how empty my life was without SG. (Does slight sarcasm translate well here?) Anywho, I'm back after four years or so.

I'm tying to think of all the fantastically interesting things that have happened recently, and...
