Right. I am supposed to be putting together an invite list for a Memorial Day camping trip. Sounds fun right? Who wants to go? I can't invite the entire Net (though it would be a lot of fun) but we have room for quite a few I would imagine.

Yay, I started smoking again. Stress is the worst.

Ever have one of those moments where things just pile on top of one another until you kind of feel like you're drowning in minutia? I'm having one of those lives, I think.

I'm going to hide in bed. Anyone who wants to shirk adult responsibilities can come with me. We can read under the covers by flashlight.

Hey, ValarNet. Anyone know where a kids' storyteller can find a good crafts shop? The one I was going to shut down and I have no idea where else I could find what I need. I'd prefer to support mom and pop stores if I can, instead of chains.

Also, anyone have any good volunteer opportunities? I still have some free time and I'd love to help out anywhere that needs it!

And so another birthday passes. I turned seventeen yesterday, April Ninth and it was like any other day, really, other than in addition to school, work, and tutoring, I also had a birthday dinner which just ended, and presents.

Not a bad way to spend the day, really. Hard work, helping people, seeing new things... oh! I tried out this awesome new tea shop today. It's one of the best ones I've seen in California, and has spot on Japanese teas. Awesome!

Being seventeen doesn't fee any different than being sixteen, and somehow, I thought it might. Ah well. I figured I would first poke on here yesterday, but school, tea shop, work, tutoring, and birthday dinners kept me offline until just now. So, hello, Valarnet! I'm Billy Batson, and it's genuinely nice to meet you all.
