I have some facebook friends who regularly post photos of/statuses about their kids. Three of these people's baby photos/statuses fill me with irrational seething anger, while the rest just make me go "huh" or lol a bit. I couldn't figure out what the deal was with these three people, till I realized that these are the ones who have a sort of ( Read more... )

lensesThis morning I broke one of my contact lenses. It stuck to the bottom of a little dish I had it in (left my contact case at the parents' house on Sunday.) Now all I have is my terrible, terrible glasses that I've had for 10 years and which I can barely see through, give me headaches, and make my eyes water, not to mention the fact that I look ( Read more... )

   Dear R and the rest of my Brooklyn friends: I'm starting to wonder if I could ever make a life among you after all. Because while I love you all and love visiting you, I always end up feeling stressed and compressed and eager to go home, because what I am and how I live are completely at odds with how all the rest of you women out there are.

   One of my roommates, who I had been friends with for a while before we moved in together, sort of unloaded a whole lot of crap on me a couple months ago, about how I was so annoying and she wanted me to move out and didn't want to be friends anymore. This was totally out of the blue, she hadn't said a word to me about any of it before although ( Read more... )

   I can accept that I misinterpreted your behavior that night, though I don't believe that all things considered I was very much to blame for my misinterpretation. I can accept that you legit didn't know I was interested in you that way, and in fact you probably still don't know, because after I found out I misread you I was too embarrassed to let ( Read more... )

Sunday evening, my friend/roommate out of the blue told me she didn't want to be friends anymore. She spent a lot of time sort of repeating herself without actually saying anything, but what it boiled down to is that she doesn't like me anymore and she doesn't care that she doesn't like me anymore. I asked her why and first she said that she can't ( Read more... )

So, last night I was hanging out with my friends at the dorms, and as college students are wont to do on the weekend they pulled out the liquor. I had never tried Captain Morgan before, but I decided eh, what the hey. I was taking what I thought were shots of it, except the glass I was using held more than I realized. Long story short I drank half ( Read more... )

When I was a teenager I had these two friends, sisters. We hung out a lot in company with our other friends, we were pretty close---I even had my 17th birthday party at their house. We went to each others' graduation parties, had sleepovers, etc. A lot of memories there. Then when I was 19 they suddenly stopped acknowledging my existence; they ( Read more... )

   So, back at my parents' house tonight. I drove up with my friends E. and J. (E.'s parents live two streets away from mine.) We came up to go to Art Prize in downtown Grand Rapids, which was pretty good although apparently not as good as last year, which I missed. I haven't got access to upload any pics right now, but if I remember I'll do it ( Read more... )
