Happy Fall Break to me

Here I am. All alone (not actually) on the college campus in the snow. Why is it snowing? It is October. I don't know that I actually signed up for this. I thought Minnesota weather would be way more like New York weather. But it is definitely colder here. I think it may already be the season for winter boots. No wonder hockey season starts tomorrow.

Since this depressing turn of weather events has occurred I think now is the time to obnoxiously display some of my fall photos:



So this is what it used to look like outside. Hopefully the snow doesn't force everyone into their rooms. Because honestly I was just starting to meet people again. It's hard to meet people. I mean, the school is small, I know people. It's just hard because I feel like other people have friends, like the best of friends, and here I am, blogging antisocially in my bed room hoping someone bangs on my door and invites me somewhere. Which isn't actually how it ever works.

My next door neighbor is going to someone's house this afternoon and he left me the address in case he doesn't come back. It actually seems super creepy, but I suppose it is a valid concern. He left a description of what the house looks like, as though the numbers wouldn't be enough for me to tell the police if I reported him missing... (I really don't think he's going anywhere, he can hold his own.)

I love videochatting. It isn't the same as a real conversation, obviously, but it is nice none the less and it is definitely better than a phone call. It just breaks my heart when I see my girlfriend cry through the screen and all I want is to wipe away her tears and I can't. When I lift up my finger all it touches is the web cam. I smudge my screen but I can't do any of the physical things I usually do to comfort her. It's hard. I just want to hold her and make everything good for her. Too bad life doesn't work that way.


Hello

Since no one actually followed my old blog I really feel no shame in getting a new one. Especially since one of the two people that I had given permission to read was starting to harass me about it.

So hey. I'm Erin. I'm half way through my first semester of college. I attend Macalester. I used to want to be a doctor. Now I am considering pursuing a degree in media and cultural studies. I am gay as heck. I am occasionally gender queer. I have recently fallen in love with mumford and sons. My girlfriend goes to college in Michigan. We're in an open relationship and I miss her like crazy everyday. So yeah. This is my place to vent and deal and sort out my life. (People sometimes say I'm funny, so it might be worth sticking around to see if that ever happens here.)
