Sometimes I hate being a woman, and I really hate "mainstream media" and the stupid pressure put on us to look a certain way ( Read more... )

Tonight is my High School's 15th reunion.  Im not going.  I have no desire to go.  Is that bad of me?  There's a pretty big number of classmates who are still in the Boston area and are still in regular contact with one another, so tonight is a great chance for them to get out (ditch the kids if applicable) and have a fun night out.  While Im not ( Read more... )

I have recently been reminded of the power of words.  See, several weeks ago I made a comment about an aquaintence's artwork - favorable.  Just last night she thanked me for saying something so nice and how it really stuck with her.  I have NO IDEA what I said.  I vaguely remember the situation, and have no clue what I actually said ( Read more... )

Ok,  this water situation SUCKS.

However, I will now attempt to note small blessings.

Last night I went to see Martin Sexton (Martin's Webpage - I highly recommend him) with a couple of friends.  They decided it was a birthday event seeing as how my birthday is tomorrow.  I wasnt thinking along those lines.  I was mostly thinking that Marty was in town and I wanted to go.  Ive been a big fan of his for ages now - I ( Read more... )

I dont know exactly how much since I havent weighed myself since December.  im disgusted by myself these days.  Yes, I realize that to most of the outside world Im still not large, but Im not judging myself by their standards.  I judge myself by MY standards.  Ive never been one to consider myself ( Read more... )

I think the tears I didnt cry at my father's funeral were cried today at Lauren's.

There was a "celebration" this morning at 10 at the funeral home, which to my horror, was basically just more wake.  I didnt go to the wake last night.  I hate wakes.  The smell of the lilies, the body in the corner... Im traumatized by my father's... I simply hate ( Read more... )

I don’t think I fit in.  Like anywhere.  Story of my life.

The other night I went out for a drink with a couple of my girlfriends. Two of the three of them are COMPLETELY boy crazy.  I think that basically their hobby is scouting out, pursuing, and dating, men.  I don’t function this way.  Yes men are great, and I’d sure love to have one around on ( Read more... )
