The Postal Service of Brown University declared me dead.

Oops.

They sealed my mailbox, threw out all my mail, and deleted me from their system.

"Huh. That's weird. You're [my full name]?"

"Yes." *flashes Brown card*

"And you didn't graduate."

"No... I'm on leave."

"That's weird. Usually they only do this for students who have passed away."

Hee. I should probably check to make sure they didn't tell my credit card companies that I was dead if/when they returned the statements to sender...

On the upside, now I don't have to file two months' worth of un-dealt-with mail :) Although I need to chase down a whole bunch of bills now, and I have *no* recollection of whatever else might have come there. Oh well, I suppose my early demise buys me a little time!

In slightly less morbid news -- I'm back in Rhode Island, and on the way Mumsey and I ran into alosersdream and ambermystery at a random rest stop on the Mass Pike! And I got to say happy birthday to my lovely sister in person!! Again: "Happy Birthday alosersdream!"

Thank you to everyone who sent comments/emails of love and support after my last message. I am truly awed to have such wonderful friends and st. a sibs.
