I am happy to report that today is a good day to be alive and well and gleaming though exhausted.

This year I have apparently decided to be a yesgirl. I am snapping up opportunities and shenanigans and all manner of other assorted things before the hat even drops from them. Consequences: new experiences, new responsibilities, better social life, and a daunting cumulative bar tab. Less poetry writing, but I am apparently going to about three poetry readings a week so I suppose it evens out. So much mental flailing (some of it feels like thrash dancing), so many beautiful words in one ear and wedged halfway out the other, so many funfab nights barely remembered. I quit my job at the end of last semester so I could knock this last one out of the park.

So far, so good.

NOW time to churn out a poem and perhaps book some plane tickets for AWP (!).
