It is indeed a bad time to be in research administration. Every day, I'm showing up and trying to do my best but not really knowing what that looks like.

I wonder if there is some kind of personality test based on which Stand By Me character you were drawn to because I was totally a Wil Wheaton gal. I DID write him a letter and got a signed picture back. I wanted to help him heal his broken heart! He had those puppy dog eyes! (Adult me totally sees that Chris was the hotter of the two, obvs).

...and the love continued with Dogfight, My Own Private Idaho, and even The Thing Called Love, even if my friend and I were the only people in the theater for that last one.

Right there with you on the teenage River Phoenix obsession. I'm sorry you're having a tough time and hope things improve soon.

Wow, why is everyone having an absolutely catastrophic week this week!?!

I have yet to locate my old journals in my terrifying storage unit. I can't wait to fully move into a new home and pull out old entries like this. Except, mine were probably more about Twilight and Interview with a Vampire. ;)
