In the spirit of retrospection, I've decided to study, based on my longest blogging span ever, what I've been up to all these five or so years. Annotated. And complete with links.

Chapter 5. 2008
In which I make sense of my tattoo.
In which I move out and start a new blog, totalling six blogs so far.
What have we learned?
- I write an awful lot about an awful lot
- I think more than I have to
- I have a tendency to reflect
- I have not accomplished anything of note in college
- I have had several paradigm shifts
- I was alarmingly pining for ex-bf2 for about two years
- I have my moments
This is an awful lot of text + intertext for one to swallow. So I'll be taking a bit of a blogging break. See you all soon.
"And I want you now
I want you now
I'll feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode."
"What remains irreducible to any deconstruction, what remains as undeconstructible as the possibility itself of deconstruction is, perhaps, a certain experience of the emancipatory promise."
