There were a couple shootings today. I was hearing different stories at work. First it was a shooter in West Seattle. Then I was told the shooting happened around 65th and Roosevelt (nowhere near that part of the city), then there was a shooting downtown. It seemed crazy that multiple shooters would choose today of all days to act. I figured I get ( Read more... )

Extremely long story short, my sister divorced her husband of about 13 years. They were married for half of my life. I haven't spoken to my ex-brother-in-law since September, at a family wedding, I think a month before my sister told me they were splitting ( Read more... )

I kind of hate my life right now. Well that's not entirely true. When I came home from the grocery store a while ago I pretty much hated my life. And now that I'm on beer number two, and read up on the Memphis 3, my hatred or disdain or general depression about life has let up a little ( Read more... )

So one day, chatty girl at work was like "see, I'm the type of person who, when someone bothers me, I post about it on facebook." Her example was something along the lines of "I hate when people piss me off!" So I was just thinking, "oh, so you're one of those annoying passive aggressive types and you think that's a legitimate response to your ( Read more... )

My cousin is dead. Unceremonious. Like I've said in the bulk of my posts about death, I didn't know him well. In fact, the last time I'd seen him, he was probably 5 years old ( Read more... )

I woke up at 3 again today, but that wasn't my fault. I went to bed around three last night, hoping I'd be able to make it up around noon. However, my plans were tossed to the wind when I woke up at 6 am. I went to the bathroom, since I wasn't able to ignore it for very long, and fully expected to fall back asleep. Then whatever it is responsible ( Read more... )

I think the phrase "with a heavy heart" is an appropriate description of how I'm doing right now. I think, anyway. I'm worried and mildly anxious, and that's tapping into self-doubts, and not being sure makes me a little sad, and next thing you know I'm all Sad Panda on the bus (because there's nothing better than being depressed on public ( Read more... )

Today I went to look at the studio. It's in a basement, which I was wondering about. Apparently using the descriptor "daylight" signifies "in a basement." "Cute" is also "small," which I knew. After visiting and talking to the landlord I felt really good about it. Then I got home and the stark difference between the little basement studio that's ( Read more... )

In regards to my possible pending illness, I might be getting what Corey had. That would mean that in a few days I will be feeling downright awful. I am not looking forward to it ( Read more... )

Maybe not every person is like this, but for me, at least, there is the way I treat other people, which is The Way I Want to be Treated, and there's the way I treat my family, which is different. Cuz they're family. You're not supposed to shield them from your true self in the same way you shield the teller at the bank, or your co-worker, or that ( Read more... )
