the plan, stan

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I'm at an awkward place right now. I'm torn between trying to keep my nose clean and just take every day as it comes at me, not worrying about the endless if's in front of me, and the lure of divvying up resources, planning my brains out, and wishing for ...

I’m getting repetitive

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I should just shut the hell up and move already, because I'm about to go on another rant about how much my place sucks. FOUR TIMES while on the phone with my mother tonight, we got disconnected. Grrr ... Okay, I don't have the energy for a rant on cell phone ...

Rectum? Damn near killed ‘im!

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

It must be that my bowels are very proud of the fact that I've started pooping at Nate's, because now I have gone three times this morning. THREE TIMES OF POOP. My dad said that if I slept in my own bed more, I wouldn't have such crazy dreams. I don't believe ...

"Hello?" "Happy birthday, Princess." "Hi Dad!" "What are you up to?" "Oh, just getting ready to go out to dinner with Nate." "Where are you going?" "Kosta's?" I can't remember if I told him about this place or not, "It's kind of a Greek place across the river." "Is Nate Greek?" "Not that I know of ...?" "Oh. Then ...

I found a really pretty ring on Amazon while chatting with Alix on the phone. "Hey, is it bad luck for me to wear amethyst?" "What? No. Why would it be bad luck?" "Because it's not my birthstone." "Birthstones were made up by Christians." "What?! Really??" "Eh. No."

20/20 hindsight and all that

So I might not have been so confident in my ability to let things roll off my back had I read the letter before writing the previous post. I'm going to bed. I'm sorry I can't listen to your show, Axl. I am not so good with knowing what time it ...

Oh, the drama

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

What is it with today? I just want to go to bed and not be around anyone for a week. I don't think I can process everything and not scream, let alone work, tomorrow. It started out with dropping Marcus off at the airport this morning. After getting ...

Valentine's day was actually kind of awesome, once I finally got to leave work. I'd gotten him some cinnamon hearts and put them in a chinese takeout box. It seems like we get chinese food a lot. Or maybe just more than I am used to. ...

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I've been writing in a secret place lately. Sometimes I just need to think things through out loud before I actually want to deal with the consequences. What this means, basically, is that eventually I will move those things over here, but they'll be a bit dated. As a ...

family history

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I don't know how much I've written about this, but here's some of my backstory. Alan, my biological father, is a manipulative, abusive, dishonest, unethical asshole. I have completely disconnected him from my life, and I'm happy about this. My real father (my mother's husband, dig?) adopted me after ...

15 hours later, I'm up. For a little while, at least. I'll probably go back to bed soon anyway. As long as I'm up, let me point out the most awesome Christmas presents ever ever. Thanks Mom & Dad!

Okay, guess what.  I had a BOY sitting in my car.  He's super funny and cute.  I dunno.  I met him a week or so ago and then I didn't see him at Uno's again for a while and I thought I had missed my chance like I did the ...

One of the things I forgot about dating Jimmy was how he always seemed better for Beth than for me.That reminded me of how, in the beginning, I thought Marcus was better suited for Alix than for me.Makes me wonder what Derek is up to ;)

I'm at an increased risk for uterine cancer, even in my 30s or 40s.I won't have children without help.This explains why I have dark skin on my inner thighs.  I'm not part black, Jimmy.This explains my skin tags.This explains my fat tummy (even when nothing else is, which admittedly isn't ...

Psalm 37:11 I've been thinking about death. Not in a scared way, or even in an anticipatory way. It's just come up a lot, without actually coming up. I found capsules I want for my parents' ashes, whenever that day comes. Hopefully not soon. I just found out that my uncle had ...

Marcus and I made this for dinner tonight. It's very, very delicious, but I don't know the origin of the recipe. There are some in my family that are not to be shared with others (my dad's spaghetti sauce recipe, for one. I'm not even sure he ...
