A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

'nuf said. Last night I got drunk and IM'd M. Uh-oh. I promised myself that I'd never talk to him again, yet here I was, responding to some inane away message he left up. When will I ever learn? By the way, he never answered. Sign in to see full entry.

We got a hefty amount of snow here in New York all of yesterday. I'm saddened to report that I didn't leave the house at all yesterday, except once to go to the grocery store (provisions, I felt as though I was on the computer game Oregon Trails that I used to play in elementary school).
