Greetings!  I'm Josh.  A long, long time ago I started this blog as a way to chat with family and friends about my life in college without having to actually call and talk to them one at a time.  It gave me an outlet to vent about my frustrations and surprises, and I got to know a lot of interesting people.  Then, after a few years, people started ( Read more... )

Yesterday night, Stephie and I watched the movie Boys Don't Cry. About a transgendered "guy", it reminds us that there are some really sucky people out there.

Here are some stories I found on the interwebs (from Digg, actually):

And then we cuddled. There's nothing better than cuddling with ( Read more... )

Today in Creative Writing we workshopped one of my poems. Here it is.I'd put it directly on LJ except that it has a lot of tab formatting that doesn't agree with the style of HTML, so it isn't worth bothering with. The title of my journal entry is a quote from Dr. Spitzer, regarding the title of the poem. I got some good feedback regarding it, ( Read more... )

I realized last night and this morning that I'm more comfortable talking to my friends about my sexuality than about my academic progress. I'm weird like that, I guess. It just hit me last night that I was really stressed out about classes--it's a familiar feeling, one that hits me every semester about this time, I think. Five semesters of ( Read more... )

Brandi and I have been together for a month, now. In some ways, it seems like less time, and in other ways it seems like more ( Read more... )

I went bowling tonight with Prism and Lambda. It was good fun. I don't even remember the last time I went bowling. I got in three games ( Read more... )
