		<description><![CDATA[In my complex we have an on-site laundry facility, but it&#8217;s a little wacky in that you have to go out of the building to access it. It always makes doing laundry in the wintertime a big deal because it means I have to put on shoes, bundle up, carry my bag of laundry and detergent and quarters outside just to get to the room [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been missing for nine days. My life has flipped upside down, spun on its side, then righted itself once more since the last post I&#8217;ve made here due to a hospital visit, charity work, freelance job hunting, tears, STEM mentoring, budget analysis, long talks with my father, transcribing journals, and psychology-induced sushi with my sister. Yes, the past nine days have been full. More [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A handful of people said they liked the way my last post was written. Comments, chats, tweets, all over the place, but the words were nearly all the same. It&#8217;s the power of the free write. Take what is in your mind and bend it, move it, shape it into the things you&#8217;re feeling. Good or bad. It hardly makes sense to most people. Some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I zone out at parties, especially when there is music. Dance music. Low light and black light and strobe light. I feel small, vulnerable for some reason, then I slink away to a chair in the corner of the darkness, watching past the people and the wall on the other side of the room. Eventually I get up, hold out my hand, and dance. Dancing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t been blogging much because I&#8217;ve been living life as much as I can, though I will admit my lack of blogging has been touched with a smidgen of laziness. Here is a quick rundown of what I&#8217;ve been doing, if anyone really cares. Had a wonderful night to eat, drink and be merry with friends and former coworkers. We were and always will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m bad about giving myself vacations. Do you think 90+ days of writing and such warrants a vacation? I have a bit of a cold thanks to Chris, but it&#8217;s sweeping through my immune system rather quickly. Fine by me. It&#8217;s only day two and I&#8217;m already with a drippy nose and hacking up a lung. That means the end is near! I&#8217;ve never gone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GoldenTech recently put out a challenge, pushing people to focus on inbound marketing for 33 minutes a day. I left my job in web design with an online marketing firm without so much as saying good riddance. Even so, I still can&#8217;t shake my marketing persona. It&#8217;s been with me for the last four years, so it&#8217;s pretty well ingrained. Sort of like a second [...]]]></description>

I typed up two rough drafts today, about 4,000 words worth of prose, and I am just looking at them, asking myself, &#8220;Where the heck do I go from here?&#8221; I should know this answer because I&#8217;ve been doing it for the past few weeks: just go back to it tomorrow and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following is from the paper journal I started today. Updates here on out will most likely be transcribed from that journal. I don&#8217;t know why&#8230; but I find it easier to write on paper. The computer screen is just too blinding! After reading my old journals, the ones that spanned from 1998 to 2006, it made me consider journaling once more. Even though my [...]]]></description>
