Life, the Universe, and Internships
I got a better internship than most.  I have an office, a computer, a desk, a gargoyle.  The Arc of Georgia is a good organization.  Unlike many interns, I am expected to think.  I mind the Facebook page and write for it.  Now my boss wants to know what I learned.  She wants something like an article for Facebook.  I figured out how to do a mail merge and cajole the printer into spitting out...

Haunted Nights
I got in from a three-hour sousaphone rehearsal.  The wifi was out.  That meant a trip to the diner.  I hope someone eventually takes my order.  Coffee would do me good.  The mild chill of this rainy night is sinking into my bones.  My lips are bloodied and torn.  I want to sulk.  How can I stay at Agnes Scott and its enforced, incessant intimacy?  I am autistic, introverted, misanthropic.  If I...

Autism Speaks: Talking with my Nightmare
Autism Speaks makes my hair stand on end.  When Dani inspired me to become less judgemental and a better Christian, I knew their forum was the place to go.  The site is structurally different from other forums.  Tightly-controlled and with odd quoting rules, the only stickied thread is called “Dreams for Our Children.”  That struck me.  They dream for their children.  In how many of...
