The New Bennett Sisters

Oh me, oh my... it's been such a long time since I posted here. Mostly because life has been hectic beyond all belief. I tend to measure time in hair products, and it has been two conditioners and a shampoo since I last whined about my love life- or lack thereof.

I think it's pretty apparent by now that my life is not a Jane Austen novel, despite how much I'd like it to be. The guy that I would love to be my Darcy has stopped being such an ass, but we seem to have fallen into a sort of purgatory where he treats me wonderfully but views me like a friend. Which makes me anything but an Elizabeth, doesn't it...

In other news, life has been beating me into a pulp this past week. Wildfires destroying my childhood home, tragedy in my sister's life, and stalker drama in my own, not to mention classes, work, papers, and Darcy. I've been so distracted by all of this that I tend to wash my hair two or three times in a row, which is why I'm running through conditioner so quickly. Once I even put soap in my hair after mistaking it for shampoo. And then, when I realized my mistake, I proceeded to rewash my hair and then put soap in it again.

If I have any sanity left at the end of this semester, it will be a miracle. More than halfway over, thankfully, but going home means going home to face new problems, and leaving behind my old ones. Some of which- well, one in particular- I would love to have figured out. Unfortunately, the ball's in his court now. And as long as we can get along civilly, I think I'm okay with that.
