From the "quotes I like" file (and also from the quotes that almost made me cry file):

"Life is such a short trip. Even after 90 years, I imagine he still sees his childhood as being only moments away."

I have more to say, on this bleak and dreary (yet beautiful, from the snow) winter's day, but it'll have to keep for now.

Still staying off FB for the time being. It just makes me too damn angry and I don't need that much angry ( Read more... )

A few things ~

Last night was the Nine Inch Nails/Jane's Addiction show in Noblesville, Indiana. I, rather surprisingly, had a really good time. The drive out there is a bitch... 2.5 hours... but it's a good venue (albeit with ridiculously overpriced beer), and the show was pretty awesome. NIN played a lot of newer stuff (consider that my ( Read more... )

The thing is, I don't. Try to take teh intarwebz too srsly. But I guess I take the whole "friends" aspect of elljay a little more seriously than I thought. I recently got booted from 2 friends' lists, and ok, no big, right? One was a woman I'd "known" for years, another a woman who I'd really "known" briefly, but who was so free with her feelings ( Read more... )

So I actually picked up a box today from the basement with the intent of starting the whole scanning in/throwing away project. The first thing I stumbled upon was a bunch of old notes from an ex. I picked them up, read a few, smiled at the intensity of emotion that one feels in high school, when love is built on dreams and flights of fancy ( Read more... )

Thursday night was actually a really fun night, spent with a couple in a beautiful house, delicious foods, and a positively adorable 18 month old. It's weird; usually when there are Things Planned, I sorta have to work myself up for them. Being social can be and is occasionally a stressful event for me, so it's kind of a mental preparation of "I'm ( Read more... )

I remember once, when I was a teenager, actually locking myself in the closet prior to a horse-riding lesson (I never got very good at it, though I did take 6th place at a show once... woo) because I was so pissed off. Not at having to go, really, more just being told to go. SO pissed off. And I couldn't understand why ( Read more... )

Another hippo birdies to my favoritest of follicly-challenged gentlemen, scarybaldguyETA, even though it probably won't be read, I would like to note for posterity ( Read more... )

Had a really nice talk with N yesterday at lunch - he pointed out some things that are probably stressing me out more than I thought, and we delved a little into the whole "meaning of life"... seems like I know a lot of people, myself included, that spend their free time knee deep in substances and alcohol. I wake up in the mornings sometimes ( Read more... )

My life isn't all sadness and doom; in fact I am buoyed by the fact that my cat is actually doing fairly well right now. The drop in the insulin level for her injections seems to be fine, she still cuddles and purrs and went so far as to "help" me make the bed the other day. She's still curious enough to explore the basement and still princessy ( Read more... )
