More Effort Means Strong Feelings
This post is really for me to reflect on later in life because my memory is so crummy… So Annie and I have been spending more time lately communicating, and that has increased my emotional and romantic attachment to her, and as such, when we don’t get to talk, I…

Christmas is Coming
So there are only a few days left until Christmas. I spent far too much on presents this year, but that’s okay. Despite my issues with the commercialism, especially tied to Christmas, I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and then getting to see Annie and her family…

Can’t Hide From the Sickness
I’m currently staying with my Aunt and her family, and unfortunately, I’ve walked into what should be a quarantine zone. My aunt was nearing the end of her sickness, my cousin, Kyle, was in the middle of it, and Serina has just started it. It seems like a flu, with…

Texting to Keep in Touch
I have to admit, I never thought that I would be someone that texts often, but I’ve quickly taken to it and now couldn’t imagine my life without it. It has made keeping in contact with my girlfriend much easier, and the distance seem like a lot less. While it…

While I still need to re-install all of my applications, and customize things to my liking, my laptop is back from the shop, and the diagnostic time, and hard drive replacement came with a total bill of zero dollars. The computer seems to be running fine. I am still hoping…

My Christmas Letter 2012
In the same vein as what other family members of mine do (family can check our Mark’s here: 2012 Christmas Letter), I would like to write a Christmas letter for those in my life as a way to both distill down what happened to me this year, and give some…

Ravenclaw in the Shop
I was hoping to bring my newish MacBook Pro into an Apple store after returning from Virginia, but I arrived back late due to a delay, and then when I checked in at the Bayshore location, they told me that their support staff were too busy to take a look…

To Virginia and Back Again
So recently, the rocketgenius team had me down to the head office for a Christmas dinner. I was able to see the offices, meet the rest of the people working for the company and interact with them on a personal level. It was a great trip, and while a bit…

Christmas Wishlist 2012
So my aunt asked me today what I was hoping to get for Christmas and I have to admit, being homeless, I don’t really want for much. Having more stuff wouldn’t really be ideal with my two suitcases, and people really hate giving money, so that makes things difficult. There…
