Went to work today... I'm interning with my congressman.  It's pretty cool.  I feel fortunate in that I was able to help someone with their housing situation...  Basically, they're having trouble financially and after going through the Stimulus Package that was introduced, I was able to find some ways to help him out.  That's pretty awesome I feel.  It's a really nice feeling to be able to go through the bills and say "well actually, by applying for this, you'll be better off, here's how to do that."  I'm an intern and yet I feel like I'm actually doing something and making  a difference.  That's really cool I think.

Story Ideas

So here I am, almost a year later... turns out I didn't write anything in Ireland when I was there.  I guess that is my mistake as it was a great experience.  Maybe i'm just better at writing when I have the spare time (like summer).  So anyways, I'm in a slightly creative mood now and one aspect that has always facinated me is the post apocalyptic fiction category.  I sort of have an idea of a book I'd like to write but at the same time I have no way to go about writing it.  So basically we'll see what happens and if i write anything after all...
