How I did it
How to stop drinking
It took me
2 years
It made me
proud

How I did it: "I live for the nights I won't remember with the people I'll never forget" used to one of my mottos, but in time I realized how much of a farce this could be. I didn't want to forget the nights I spent with my friends, I wanted to remember them. Years down the road I wanted to have the ability to see something meaningless and have it spark my memory.I stopped thinking about what I would be missing, which, really, is al we ever think about… Read how I did it…

How to graduate high school
It took me
4 years
It made me
over!

How I did it: Just closed my eyes and dove in, really, consequences be damned. Which, in retrospect, was not always a good thing. But, see, this is one thing high school teaches you: life is not about the good things. Life is a series of mistakes, everything is a mistake, except some things are so spectacular that the fact that they are mistakes don't register. Read how I did it…

Read Good Omens
Oh. Well, wow. 2 years ago

I was expecting a lot of things from Good Omens. It’s rare that my expectations are high when I’m reading a book (unless it’a Harry Potter—but that’s a different story, different fandom, and does not apply), but Good Omens? Supplied and supplied and supplied.

Hilarious, insightful, and so many other adjectives that all add up to this: LOVE.

pass Algebra II second semester
Hah. 2 years ago

It seems like the choice was made for me. :/ My parents switched me out of Algebra II, and into Liberal Arts Math.

Pros:
Cooler teacher
Easier subject matter
Cooler people
I could sleep

Cons:
Self-esteem = tear
Loss of control over life
No math credit
