salvation!

i have found it! the solution to all this dreariness, gloom and general feeling of sorrow that hangs over me in this place!

there is something hallowed in its name.. something so elusive, found only because mindy, who is [i never thought i would EVER say this] possibly the most brilliant girl i have ever known, encouraged me to get off my ass and do something. so i went into town in an attempt to alleviate my pathetically low spirits, and what do i find?

the third [aside from calls from my dearest ernest and my QT] most emotionally uplifting thing i have encountered since i've came to this place:

the romantic fiction section of borders.

i have been saved. :)
