It has long been believed that newts are not inherently social animals, but recent developments in one newt's life suggest that they might not just be social creatures, but enjoy their social interactions, the Newtian Gazette reported Wednesday.

Woke up with severe shoulder pain (left). Fun times. Some of the most intense pain I've had in a while. It was strong enough that I had to center myself within it to be able to not freak out.Getting out of bed, Garrick's massages, and a heat pack have helped, but the pain isn't all the way gone.

Yesterday I made applesauce muffins, arroz con leche ( Read more... )

What are the social logistics of giving people money? Like, friends. When I was growing up, a friend of the family would every now and then buy my mom tickets to something she knew she'd like or whatever because she had money for that sort of thing and we didn't. It wasn't a loan and it wasn't condescending, it was simply "I have money, you don't ( Read more... )

Oh, I just stumble around trying very hard to get my head on straight and sometimes people show up to watch and I ask them for help and sometimes they say I help them, too.

I am drinking a smoothie through the left side of my mouth and it tastes like Sam's mac and cheese because it has whey protein in it.
I feel sad about Victoria - what it could have been ( Read more... )

I like you best when you feel safe enough to be honest without the grandiosity and the justifications and the sarcasm. I like you best when you say it as it is. I like you best when you aren't afraid to cry ( Read more... )

November was supposed to be better, remember?

I make so many bad decisions - over and over again.

I miss you so much. I refuse to reach out to you because you never get back to me and that hurts too much. I need you, and I have nothing to give in return.

You know, baby, I think you've lost something. I'm not saying that like it's not something you didn't know already. You, in some form, knew what you were getting into it. It's just...the only part of you that I was able to connect to - in our weird, passionate, distant way - seems gone. I'm not saying you should want it back. I assume you've ( Read more... )
