(no subject)
Have been mostly silent on the internet for the past few months in attempts to get my shit together. Not like the internet prevents me from getting my shit together, but I'm trying to whine less (or at least less publicly). 2010 continues to really suck a lot. While I haven't been posting, I've:
+ Given therapy yet another try, and quit yet again. It's not a hard refusal this time, though. Maybe shit will go down and I'll reconsider;
+ Gone to the beach with DK's family and introduced his (tween to teen) cousins/brothers to the Gay Best Friend skits on Youtube! And had Serious Conversations about Queerness and Respect with them!
+ Lifted my shoe-purchasing moratorium to make room for suede pumps and motorcycle-ish butchy boots that don't really look good with anything I own (but are amazing nevertheless);
+ Created a surprisingly good oatmeal cookie with steel-cut oats, too bad I can't remember the proportions;
+ Moved to a wonderful apartment in a wonderful location with DK and an old roommate;
+ Fallen down the fire escape of said apartment;
+ Worked stupid stupid amounts of hours and decided that this quota is responsible for deepening my sense of guilt and self-doubt;
+ Read like no books omg.
+ Discovered jeans that actually fit me;
+ Received 2 speeding tickets in as many weeks (oops);
+ Gone camping for the First Time Ever--let's never mind the fact that it wasn't "real camping" but I don't have any real desire to shit in the woods, so that's fine by me;
+ Learned that I officially need to lose just a little eentsy weentsy bit of weight, just so I can continue to wear my amazing tall boots from last year's Ultimate High Femme/work-appropriate shopping spree.
On that note, it's time to wrap up my online underwear shopping, be a trooper, and head back to work.
